Apartamento Nau

In the open kitchen, two vertical panels of solid timber slats mark the line between the work area and circulation, structure, texture and shelving at once, without closing off the view of the rest of the apartment.

The black granite counter anchors the layout: cooktop, oven and built-in fridge sit on a single line, keeping the walkway clear even in a compact apartment.

In the dining room, a large-format photograph of Farol da Barra covers the stone wall, a visual anchor that also places whoever's at the table.

Details like the tall-arc faucet over black marble show the finish level carried through to the service areas, not just the social ones.
