Apartment in São Paulo

Architect Alan Chu worked on the interior design of this apartment in São Paulo, Brazil. The 98 square meter residence is named Ap Cobogó due to its use of the traditional ceramic block, popular in Brazil during the 1930s. Originally made exclusively from cement, these functional and decorative elements later began incorporating materials like clay, glass, and ceramic. In the apartment project, the architect preserved the original brick walls and designed furniture from plywood that blends seamlessly into the space.
