An area which thrived in the early 60's, this apartment's design is inherently drawn from the unique angle at which the building meets the street corner. ","Historically, the architecture in this locality reflects a noticeable intention to conceal structural elements, leading to an uneven design and excessive partitioning. One could infer that this was perhaps an attempt to prioritise aesthetics over structural transparency.","Our vision for the Ferreira Borges project, however, deviates from these traditional perspectives. Rather than seeing these structural elements as impediments to the design, we chose to embrace them. The central objective was to make a distinction between the social and private spaces within the apartment.","This was accomplished by providing clear demarcations, yet ensuring fluidity in movement and accessibility. One of the hallmark changes we made was to expose the beams and concrete pillars that were previously hidden behind walls and panels. ","These architectural elements, rather than being camouflaged, have been brought to the forefront. In doing so, we are not merely showcasing the core structure but also paying homage to the history and the past occupants of the space.","The exposed beams and pillars serve as tangible remnants of the building's past, adding depth and narrative to the apartment. They have been seamlessly integrated and celebrated, playing a pivotal role in the apartment's rebirth, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and functional prowess.","In essence, the Ferreira Borges project is not just a redesign but a reimagining. It is where the past meets the present, and architectural history harmoniously coexists with contemporary design sensibilities. Through this project, we aspire to set a precedent, highlighting the importance of embracing the originality of spaces while infusing them with modern-day charm and functionality."]}
