RAL Apartment by Patricia Martinez Arquitetura

São Paulo, 2025 – Located next to Ibirapuera Park – one of the most visited parks in Latin America – the RAL Apartment, a project designed by Patricia Martinez Arquitetura, offers an experience of living in harmony with nature in the middle of the city of São Paulo, in Brazil. 

Combining elegance and comfort, the 350 m² apartment offers a privileged view of the treetops through the large windows in the living area. As well as connecting residents to the natural landscape, these openings allow plenty of natural light in, increasing the feeling of well-being.

Natural elements blend into the casual aesthetic, with the oak veneer ceiling in the living room standing out as one of the client’s main desires. The same material also covers the walls of the gourmet space, which acts as a support for dinners and integrates harmoniously with the dining room.

The porcelain floor and the presence of materials such as metal and glass add a contemporary touch to the design. The soft color palette, made up of beige tones and green details, conveys serenity and sophistication.

The furniture was carefully curated to reinforce the elegance of the apartment. Highlights include signature pieces such as the Agulha sofa by Zanini de Zanine and the May armchairs by Jader Almeida, one of Brazil’s top designers. Both are low pieces of furniture, strategically chosen to preserve the visual amplitude of the space and add different textures to the environment. The selection also includes the Lina Bo Bardi pendant in the dining room and the metal tables in the living room, by Estúdio Orth.

The woodwork was custom designed to meet the needs of the residents. In addition to the large living room, which is the focal point of family life, the apartment has an office and three suites. 

The master suite, in shades of gray, was conceived as a space for the couple to decompress, promoting comfort and tranquility.

With a project that values the integration of design, functionality and well-being, the RAL Apartment reflects Patricia Martinez Arquitetura’s commitment to creating sophisticated and welcoming spaces, aligned with the needs and lifestyle of the residents.
