FJ House by Studio Guilherme Torres

Masculine interior design? My first thought was: only testosterone. An old, boring 80’s apartment in São Paulo redesigned and renovated by Studio Guilherme Torres feels now like a trendsetter night club: a modern garçonnière of a successful, single bachelor. 

Linear led lighting running through concrete-finish walls and ceiling, create an interesting stage-like effect. Custom-made wooden furniture mixed with famous statement designs, a few vintage pieces and colorful adult toys... effortless ‘high-low’ style. And a black bathtub residing in the main bedroom... true bohemian spirit.

    Love the wonderful, colorful art in contrast with the concrete and industrial feel of this place. Can't help but smile at the pig painting:)

    cool design. And I love concrete. But I miss the feeling of light and airy rooms. Feels a bit like an air-raid-shelter - know what I mean? :)

    wow...this is cool, unusual and bold.
    p.s.: there is a smaller Rothko exibition, no images from a hotel lobby, not many lights but the paintings themself are enough. Incredible vibrant colors!

    Hard-soft comes to mind. I love the pastel stripes that contrast against the concrete surrounds. The lighting is stunning and totally softens what could be a bunker-type aesthetic!
    They could have so taken the minimalist approach but great that they chose colour instead. There's the magic right there!

    I especially love the chunky legs of the blue plastic stool and how well it goes with the artwork of the pink pigs.

    I definitely love this home, that cool and amazing concrete grey tone is soft and powerful at the same time. It has to belong to a creative professional, these rooms inspire the creative impulses for sure!

    I love the space, a LOT, but that doesn't look like concrete to me. Looks like venetian plaster, which would be much easier to install and maintain on all those surfaces.
