Restelo

Living Space for Ana Rita Soares Interior Design

The Ana Rita Soares Atelier followed this project since its most early stage and was responsible for all interior architecture. They planned everything in this project in a minimal and open space style. One particular element that incorporates storage is a custom-made bookcase that connects the living room with the home office on the second floor. The architecture and the interior design influenced each other, and the Atelier designed a house tailored to its client. This house is showcased in Lux Deco magazine 2020 winter edition and the Portuguese tv program Posso Entrar.

Unique Properties

The contemporary architecture and organic and refined lines which define this house leave no one indifferent to it. There is a dark-toned wood console at the entrance and a table lamp flanked by a pair of sliding doors. The most striking pieces, designed by the Atelier, are undoubtedly the custom-made carpet and the two-story bookcase in the living room that connects this space with the office. It is possible to notice several nooks and crannies for decorative items, plants and hidden storage.

Production Technology

They developed 3D renders and floor plans throughout this home's design to best support their ideas and showed their client what their interior design project would resemble. The Atelier combined custom-made pieces with specially picked design items from renowned brands such as Minotti, Rimadesio, Cattelan, Trussardi and Arketipo. The Atelier drew the bookshelf. It was made of MDF wood lacquered light gray and anthracite and is two-story in height.

Design Challenge

One of the biggest challenges faced by the Atelier Ana Rita Soares team was to keep the refined architectural blueprint and transform it into a cosy and comfortable space without ever taking it away from its essence. After widespread research and some 3D renders, they brought this cosiness to the rooms using fabrics, pillows, accessories, and rugs (designed by them).

Project Duration

This project started during the house construction in 2016, and they finished it in 2020. The house location is in Lisbon, Portugal.

Operation Flow

The entry hall is a warm welcome that separates the social areas: the living room area, from the dining room and kitchen, which centre around cooking and sharing. The Atelier divided the living room into two sitting spaces with different purposes. The first one is to promote socializing around the tv area, while the second one, turned towards the garden, encourages relaxation and enjoyment of the view. The bookcase is a linking element since it connects the living room to the home office on the second floor.

Research

They designed this house according to the client's taste, who appreciated contemporaneity, minimalist, and above all, sophistication. During this project, there were lots of interaction and a free communication channel between the Atelier and its client, resulting in a unique space. Their work method consists of having a specialized team performing extensive research and 3D proposals on each project. They develop cohesive designs that mirror our client's perspectives, as well as their style and vision.

Inspiration

The Atelier Ana Rita Soares, known for its tailor-made projects, was challenged to develop a project for a whole villa. Their clients are hotel chain owners who enjoy receiving and entertaining people. They wanted an open floor print, prioritizing living spaces. Building a concept from that reality, the Atelier designed spaces that were city-inspired. During this project, they sketched it in an open-space style, and they included a biophilic design linking the city idea and the house's location.
