Apartment I, situated on the top floor of the Araucária Building, showcases a radical reorganization of space by eliminating internal walls and utilizing wardrobes to define rooms. This design features two main lines of wardrobes that form distinct cores, including the living room, kitchen, and private areas. The central area incorporates large windows and minimal furnishings for an open feel. The bedroom area allows for future expansion into an additional bedroom, showcasing a flexible and modern approach to urban living in a historically significant structure.
The design for Apartment I takes the original division of the layout to the extreme. All internal masonry walls are demolished, and the cores are delineated by wardrobes.
The central module houses the living room and kitchen in a 9 x 9 meter square. On one side, facing north, there is a floor-to-ceiling window and a concrete brise-soleil on the building's facade.
The bedroom module contains the office and a bedroom with a bathroom. It is accompanied the entire length by the wardrobe that separates it from the living room.
Between the office and the bedroom, there is a wardrobe that opens on both sides. This wardrobe can eventually be replicated to create an additional bedroom in the upper half of the office.
