The apartment of this young man in his 30s, is located in the heart of Ipanema, a rich neighborhood in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This New York style apartment was designed by Rio de Janeiro – based Studio Ro+Ca.

A large concrete bench is part of the living room composition. Sometimes it can be used like this, and others, such as sideboard for objects and pictures. Toward the gray, we have two strengths colors point: a pink sofa and an yellow door, that give access to the service area. Another interesting point, is the access to the guest room, which is made by a black metal rolling door , as shopping streets. This can be easily winded up, integrating the spaces. Regarding natural coatings, we use some raw materials such as “Stone Wood” (Brazilian and inexpensive type) on the walls that divide the living room área, the suite and bathrooms.The large kitchen stand we used a black Brazilian stone, “San Gabriel”, with polished finish.
