Contemporary apartment in Sao Paulo, Brazil

This is apartment located in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil designed in 2011 by the practice of Felipe Rodrigues Arquiteto with a contemporary style that integrates some of the features of the building in which it is set.

The apartment is in one of the buildings designed by Botti Rubin with a brutalist architecture that is inspired from the trend of the 1960s. The loft spreads over a surface of 300 square meters and it is mostly comprised of raw concrete left exposed on the ceiling.
The partitions, tabletops and sinks were inserted to define each area while still maintaining a fluid circulation inside with the bedrooms separated from the kitchen box and social area. Sliding glass doors can separate the kitchen from the living room when cooking is done and the bedrooms are arranged in a nucleus that brings light to the rest of the apartment as well.

Cool and young style from inteior design of a villa in Dubai

NAGA Architects had designed this private villa for the Sultan Mohammed Aqil Ali Hassan Al Zarooni and his family in 2011.
Located in Dubai, the project employs a cubist aesthetic and it is designed on an ordered system of rectangular planes and facets that create enough room for recessed balconies or some extruding areas to permit a better view of the surroundings while also extending the interior spaces. All the sides of the villa are surrounded by water features and swimming pools, either public or private ones, to maintain the interior temperature at a cool and pleasant temperature even if the house is in the desert climate.
The ground level uses articulated panels to increase the space and the segmented spaces have been turned into a large hall that acts as the main social space of the villa, appropriate for entertainment and gatherings. The first level hosts the private quarters and it gives access to an overhead walkway that offers a view of the ground floor spaces.

Inspired from the interior of a loft aparment in Milan, Italy

A factory had been transformed into a loft apartment in Milan, Italy. It was called the Twin Loft and was designed by the practice of Federico Delrosso Architects as a space with two structurally identical volumes that make the name of the project obvious. 
The twin lofts have a similar design of the interior spaces but the details such as the furnishings, materials or colors have an intertwining aesthetic that gives each volume its individuality.
The ground floor hosts the hallways with mirrors on the walls, an opening toward the private garden, the kitchen and a table with high seating. This level is connected with the upper one through a staircase and there is also a bathroom here.

The second floor hosts the bedrooms, wardrobe and bathroom and the top level has an attic which is designed as a guest room and there is also a wellness space with a private gym.
Each of these spaces has been designed to offer a similar but yet different interior so that the tables are placed on opposite sides, the staircases are imposing in one loft and subtle in the other one. The first floor of one loft offers a glass flooring to connect with the kitchen underneath while the other one offers glimpses of the shower and staircase of the ground floor.
