I think I've gone concrete...

I don't know why but I’ve always had a strong appreciation for concrete. This is weird because concrete gives of this very cold feeling, and I like to believe I am all about warmth. But there's no denying that this is one of the coolest apartments I've seen in a long time. It was designed for a Brazilian business man and DJ, in the West side of São Paulo.

Being a renovation of an 80's apartment, Guilherme Torres, a Brazilian Architect, had to keep the toilets, and bedrooms for structural reasons. Some of the windows however was taken away to create a box effect, where the combination of floor and wall covering with the integrated LED lighting created a 3 Dimensional effect, similar to that in a night club.

Guilherme Torres is definitely going on my favourite architects list. Have a look at Studio Guilherme Torres's website.
