Gisele Taranto's renovation of the Lambri Apartment in Rio de Janeiro brings the beach atmosphere indoors, integrating urban living with coastal relaxation. Completed in July 2018, the project reimagines the 600m2 space to embrace the surrounding natural beauty and create a serene, carioca-inspired home.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gisele Taranto's design for the Lambri Apartment draws inspiration from the beach atmosphere, incorporating light colors and hints of blue to evoke the sea. The use of lacquered wood paneling on walls and ceilings, along with varied paneling directions, creates a unique, deconstructed rhythm. The integration of internal and external views, along with the careful selection of flooring materials, reflects the Urban Beach concept, seamlessly blending the apartment with its coastal surroundings.
The decor features a mix of contemporary Brazilian and Italian furniture, seamlessly integrated with antiquariato pieces. Bookshelves designed to house books, objects, and collections are strategically placed throughout the living spaces, executed by CAP Israel Joinery. The renovation involved significant changes to the original floor plan, including relocating the couple's suite to face the sea and creating additional spaces such as a beauty salon, playroom, and suites for the children.
The apartment's lighting design prioritizes natural light, minimizing the need for artificial lighting during the day. LD Studio's lighting project focuses on energy efficiency and enhancing the ambiance of each space. The integration of landscaping further enhances the connection to nature, with plants serving both decorative and functional purposes.
Gisele Taranto's design journey began in May 2016 and culminated in the completion of the Lambri Apartment in July 2018. The project aimed to create a relaxed and calm atmosphere, seamlessly blending the beach environment with the interior spaces. The renovation successfully overcame the challenge of creating an urban contemporary beach house, offering a unique living experience in the heart of Rio de Janeiro.
