The Half Arc House gets its moniker from the many quarter - circles that exist in it . The first — a textured and painted arc — is seen right where the entrance meets the main L-shaped living area , and frames that room . The art décor and the use of the Metamorphosis Wall Lamp from Boca do Lobo , complement the golden details in the artsy console and ethereal mirror .
In the guest bedroom , the arc presents itself within the teak wood and all black , back painted glass cupboards . And the bow appears yet again in the master suite within the pink shelving unit behind the bed .
However , it isn ’ t just this idiosyncratic symbol that makes the apartment lavish . Among those reasons is that , at 1,400 sq ft , this city home is intended for the use of just one occupant — which is a luxury in itself . Add to that , as per the client ’ s wish , the original three bedrooms have been broken down and converted into just two suites with rather generous layouts .
The client ’ s brief was realized by creating an expansive master suite , complete with a master bath , a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a dedicated shoe room . Being the primary residence of a young and single business woman , the apartment has been curated to give a homely , feminine appeal with a quirky look and feel . This was achieved by using certain geometries — the half arc , in particular — as well as a rich yet restrained material palette , that works in contrasting pairs , in both colour and texture .
Several sumptuous touches are crafted throughout the abode . In the primary living area , surrounded by plush accents and accessories , and beside a cozy balcony , is a television set concealed within a primary shelving element .
