The renovation project for this duplex apartment in the Jardim Paulistano neighborhood focused on preserving the main access and the entire living area on the upper floor, with interior spaces fully integrated with the terrace, which offers a broad view of the area. On the lower floor are located the two bedrooms—one being a suite—a TV room, and an office. The latter two are connected by a large countertop that extends the full length of the apartment. This floor also includes the laundry room and a service entrance.
Among the new elements introduced in the renovation are the nine-meter-long continuous steel beam installed on the terrace, which frames the city view, and the Santos Dumont-style staircase, made from steel plates and suspended from the upper floor.
