São Bento Apartment Renovation

Problem
The 48 m² São Bento apartment had a worn bathroom and common area with limited natural light and ageing finishes. The small footprint required careful decisions to avoid making the spaces feel constrained.
Process
- Improve the bathroom and shared living area.
- Make better use of natural light.
- Retain and restore useful existing elements.
- Introduce durable finishes suited to a compact home.
Solution
- Removed degraded elements and prepared the existing surfaces.
- Reorganised key features to improve circulation and light.
- Restored the timber flooring where appropriate.
- Installed new bathroom finishes and coordinated the common area.
Before


The renovation focused on the parts of the apartment that most affected comfort and daily use. Material choices and layout adjustments were developed to keep the compact home light and coherent.
The updated bathroom and common area now feel brighter and more practical. Restored timber flooring and restrained new finishes preserve warmth while improving durability.
