Cozy Luxury Apartment Design by Carla Felippi uses Architecture of Happiness
About Carla Felippi
Cozy luxury apartment design uses architecture of happiness to win cozy environments. Spaces multiply with natural elements, lighting, functionality and comfort.
For moments of conversation and relaxation, the living room is the ideal place, marked by light colors that enhance the amplitude of the environment - the Carrara marble floor dialogues with the raw linen curtains and the gray wallpaper, both KYOWA.
The expression "architecture of happiness" has gained global reach after the philosopher Alain de Botton defined the concept in a book - Carla Felippi has since chorused Botton's explanations, and applies the concepts in her work. "It's my way of doing architecture," she says. Proof of this is this coverage in Santos, on the coast of São Paulo. The couple with two children wanted the atmosphere of a house, full of simplicity, to live at ease.
The lighting inspired by the light of the moon creates an intimate atmosphere in the external area, equipped with a comfortable swimming pool and integrated to the living room.
"I tried to multiply spaces that are nice to be, simulating how to use each one," he says. The functionality and comfort that guide the work of the professional allied with the lighting, another of its strong brands. Concerned to strengthen the connection of the apartment with nature, she bet on plants, materials such as wood and fibers and shades of blue that evoke the sea, as well as open areas where rainfall can be seen.
The staircase skirts an 11 m high pendant designed by the office, which can be seen from the three floors of the residence.
To illustrate her involvement with the project, Carla quotes Dutch designer Marcel Wanders: "I'm here to create an environment of love, to live with passion and to turn the most exciting dreams into reality."
The double bedroom in this cozy luxury apartment design has cabinets with mirrored doors and furniture designed under the TV, both SCA, plus capitonê panel used as bedside and automated curtains, both KYOWA.
"The house offers the experience of living. It gives the inhabitant sensations and replenishes them with tranquility or agitation, according to the choices of lighting, fabric or landscaping." - Carla Felippi
Beautiful Beach House Interior with Suspended Staircase
Built in Ubatuba, on the coast of São Paulo, the elegant architecture house with Anderson Muniz design combines marble and cumaru drawn at right angles.
It is one thing to have art at home, another is to make it a structural element. So it is this beautiful beach house interior with suspended staircase created by the architect Anderson Muniz in Itamambuca Beach, in Ubatuba, on the coast of São Paulo. The 1100 m² of construction already make a good impact - accompanied by sawn marble flooring, cumaru panels, double height ceilings and an internal area that extends outwards like a root looking for the sun.
Here, at the center of all this, on the ground floor, next to the living and the gourmet area, there is still a staircase like never before seen, designed by designer Hugo França. "When I invited him to draw it, he was so excited that the next day he called and told what he imagined for the place," says Anderson. And the idea was quite bold - why not a log around which the steps would be set? The assembly required a metal pin that, inserted in the center of the black angico, crosses the lining. Even though it is all tied up, it is an organic and light element in the heart of the house.
"The first step was to find a fallen tree in the region, for which we have the collaboration of Gaúcho, a partner who lives in Itamambuca and knows the local biome very well." After a month, we located in the Atlantic Forest a monumental Red Angelim, organic forms and robust structure, "explains Hugo França. "It was the biggest interior piece I ever produced and the second ladder I designed, a challenge for me, because using a very organic structure and a ladder that needs to have geometric steps in its surroundings is not an easy task."
There were still some final details of the project to be carried out, but neither did the anxiety of the couple of owners, with their children and grandchildren, who decided to open the house during the holiday season in 2017. This true center of family reunion already had everything they needed, including a ladder-shaped sculpture. Or vice versa.
Anderson designed the six suites - four upstairs and two downstairs - and the home theater pretty much the same size. "Here, I did not want to use this old story master suite, they are all the same," says the architect. In the kitchen, several members of the family of Bahian origin take turns with the pleasure of performing good dishes and savoring them around a large table and then spreading out on comfortable sofas and armchairs, almost all made to measure .
The eyes see an elegant, silent architecture, with slabs advancing on both floors, giving space a unique personality. But the house is contemporary beyond what one can see. Fully automated, its controls can be operated from a distance, from the opening of the curtains to the pool's whirlpool.
To accomplish the work, architect and owner opted for a metal structure, which accelerates the execution time and does not generate waste. There was a house on the ground, it's true, it was totally demolished. All that was left of it was donated and reused, from the rubbish (quite useful for landfills) to the wooden frame. The local laws of an area of environmental protection are strict, and finding the right land does not mean being able to buy it. Hence the option to acquire the property and "disassemble" it to erect a new dwelling.
Anderson Muniz is now working on a new stage: to make the house energy-saving from a photovoltaic panels, a plan still under development. Surfer and capoeirista, he is part of a generation for which all this is already very natural. With the Itamambuca project in progress, he eventually settled in Ubatuba with his wife and two children. Their design, as well as their lifestyle, are proof that ethics and aesthetics can indeed make a marriage happy.
200 sq m House Integrated with Nature by FCstudio, São Paulo
About FCstudio
Property of 200 m² establishes several types of relation with the environment.
This 200 sq m house integrated with nature in a low verticalization neighborhood in São Paulo was designed by a young architect to become his own home. The main challenge was to build a corner building, with two facades leaning against the neighbors, that took full advantage of the land and natural light without impeding the privacy of the resident.
According to the professionals of FCstudio, an office that signs the architectural project, including lighting, interiors and construction, the house with metallic structure establishes several types of relation with the environment.
The ground floor can open fully so that the tropical landscaping of the land integrates into the internal space, where the boundary between interior and exterior is diluted. The entire floor is free of barriers, except for the kitchen and toilet, which function as a "functional island" separating the areas.
The opposite happens on the upper floor, where the facade can be opened or fully closed by steel doors with electrostatic painting that block the direct solar incidence and preserve intimacy, acoustically isolating the intimate area and ensuring the intense natural ventilation.
Already the garden on the terrace of the property allows the observation of sunrise and sunset and enjoy the view of the surroundings from a high point in a neighborhood composed only of low houses. In addition, the green roof contributes to the maintenance of the temperature balance inside the house, and heating of water is done with solar panels.

Renovation with colorful cement tiles in grey décor apartment injected spirit into the kitchen with the linings and, in the living room, the pictures of living tones give charm.
A secret for the grey décor to gain joy? Bet on sober tones lit by vibrant colors at strategic points. This was done by the architect Karina Korn in this 307 m² apartment in Perdizes, São Paulo. The unique and versatile result is far from monotonous and can be easily changed over the years by changing few elements.
There lives a family with three children of different ages, who wanted, above all, that the renovation bring privacy for each one for friends visits. The unusual request came along with the proposal of not having TV in the living room, and a sober decoration in the living room and that reflects their personalities in the rooms.
Living and dining integrate and form the main area. Each opposing wall has gained a mosaic of Portuguese stones and colorful pictures, which give life to the space.
The grey kitchen, with ornare white cabinets, comes out of the ordinary. The pediment of the sink and one of the walls received Marcelo Rosenbaum colorful cement tiles.

About SCK Arquitetura
Architect: Eliza Schuchovski, SCK Arquitetura
Area: 500 m²
Location: Pilarzinho, Curitiba, Brazil
Project privileges minimalist essence in the property of a young couple with two children.
Preserving the wide and free circulations was one of the priorities of the architect Eliza Schuchovski, of the office SCK Arquitetura, when designing the interiors of this residence of 500 m² in the neighborhood of Pilarzinho, in Curitiba.
The owners of the property, a young couple in their 35s, and with two small children, wanted the décor to be in tune with the architecture, marked by a minimalist and contemporary proposal.
Following the architectural design signed by Mario Biselli, Eliza sought to value the pure and soft lines to create a lightweight layout in which the use of the apparent concrete is balanced by the presence of the wood.
The result is a contrast of materials that evokes the hot and cold, the noble and the rustic. While the apparent concrete overlays some structural beams and columns and the sandstone is present in the lining of some walls, the wood brings temperature to the floor, which extends to the porch deck.
Eliza opted for a natural shade blade for the joinery and complemented the linen décor. "They sophisticate the environments without loading in the composition", emphasizes the architect, who invested in the combination of textures in harmony with the palette of earthy tones, investing also in contemporary objects and mirrored surfaces.
According to her, the presence of different textures in overtones brings timelessness to the spaces. The lighting project, in turn, seeks to create scenarios and flexibility of different uses. "The games of light and shadow valued every point of the project and the different textures of materials," she says.

Design Farinazzo Architecture
Area 475 sqm
Year 2012
With 475 sqm of area this house designed in 2012 includes a mix of materials: wood, concrete and glass.
The timeless combination brings lightness through the glass while at the same time conferring robustness due to the cement plates (Castelatto) and warmth through the wood.
In addition, the combination helps to value the design volumetry, especially in the sunroom / main entrance.
Description from architect:
In sensational ways this house represents the freedom of the architect's trait. It is visually delineated by the marquise that is interrupted by the volumetry at the entrance, by the glass panels of double right foot of the social being, and in the sides, soon to return and to complete symmetrically the drawing in the balcony of the internal facade. Expressive blocks in cement coating cut the white creating the feeling of robustness. Wood predominates sensibly, rescuing regional values. A lot of glass and PVC frames in the openings harmonize with the design, allow the natural light between and provide thermal and acoustic insulation. Rectangular and circular cutouts are highlighted on the facade.
Standard Lot Size Two Story Beautiful Home Design, Brazil
Project by Achilles Nicolas Kilaris and Iara Kilaris.
Architect contact
Most of the land in Brazil has a standard measure of 10x30 m and 12x30 m.
Which leads many people to think that it is small land to build a big house!
However, through a well-crafted architectural design that includes mainly two floors or more, having a large house on a land with standard footage is entirely possible.
And as an example of this, today I brought you to share with you this beautiful house designed by the architect Achilles Nícolas Kilaris with interior decoration executed by the designer Iara Kilaris (everything is mara - get ready)!
Designed on a 12x30 lot, this house with a contemporary façade and curved lines has 3 floors designed with the purpose of better utilizing the natural unevenness of the land (which reduces the total cost of the project) and to meet the number of spaces requested by the client which includes: garage, 3 rooms (living, dining, tv), toilet, office, kitchen, laundry area, large leisure area with pool and 4 bedrooms!

Beautiful Tropical House Design, Rio de Janiero, Brazil

About Mareines Arquitetura
Architecture: Mareines + Patalano
Area: 800m²
Year: 2006/2008
Location: Angra Dos Reis, Brazil
Description from architects
This project was inspired by Brazil’s indian architecture, perfectly suited for the hot and humid climate where it stands, Angra dos Reis, one hour drive south of Rio de Janeiro.
The roof acts as a big leaf that protects from the hot sun all the enclosed spaces of the house as the in-between open spaces, truly the most important ones. These in-between open spaces represent the essence of the design. They are the social areas, where the owner of the house and his guests spend most of their time.
The very generous heights of these spaces, which vary from 3 to 9 meters, allow the SE trade winds from the sea to pass perfectly longitudinally trough the building, providing natural ventilation and passive cooling both to the enclosed and open spaces. We see it as low-tech eco efficiency, where it has the greatest impact, the concept of the architectural design.
There are no corridors and inside and outsed are almost fused. Many sliding doors, most glazed, open up the enclosed spaces and let the sea breeze in.
Our practice, luckily in agreement whit our client, understand the idea of a tropical beach house as a mean to enhance the interaction between man and nature, trying whenever possible not to separate them completely.
Exterior
The landscape is everywhere on the ground floor, and the curvy swimming pool snakes into the house. When it passes below the formal dining room, it turns into a pond with aquatic plants and fishes, reaching the rear “veranda”. This veranda is a resting space with five Brazil’s indians’ style hammocks. We call this space “Brazilian lounge”. The roof structure is made of laminated reflorestation wood (eucalyptus), capable of crossing big spans (20 meters is tle biggest here) with delicacy and warm aesthetics.
The roof is covered in small reflorestation wood tiles (pinus taeda), that easily adapt to the complexes surfaces of it. It also collects rain water via the central steel column to be reused in gardening and flushing toilets. All surfaces finishes, except for glass and pre-oxidized copper are natural: Grey tiles of stone from the site, bamboo meshes, local wood from remanagement forests, earthy flooring and wood reused from old electricity posts.
Interior
The use of all these natural materials, the transparency of the glass, the neutrality of the oxidized copper relating to the prevailing green of the designed and natural landscape along with the organic composition of the house and rich diversity of textures and rhythms created a very desirable reality: The sensation of belonging to the site, in harmony with the exuberant Brazilian nature.
Modern home interior, Brazil
“Being inside feeling like one is outside. I believe that to be a key issue in understanding the interior design being produced today. In times when environmental awareness is growing, and, of course, also the desire to be close to nature”, explains the designer, who places her modern home interior (Brazil) somewhere in between a modernist home and a country villa.

Three storey transparent house, Brazil
The idea was to make this three storey house as transparent as possible, in a way that would establish a visual relationship between external and internal areas. To make this viable, the openings were designed at the rear and front of the structure to be three metres wide and to be on the same axis. When open, large glazing elements slide along the walls uniting the external and internal spaces.
