A wall in the dining room and living room opens to reveal the kitchen and home office.

Angá Arquitetura has completed the interior design of an apartment in Brazil for a family.

A key design element in the apartment is the white wall that runs from the living room to the dining room.

The white wall, with its vertical channel design, has sliding pocket doors at one end. When opened, the sliding wall reveals both the home office and the kitchen.

A pocket door separates the home office from the kitchen. In the kitchen, minimalist wood cabinets have been paired with white countertops and upper cabinets, and a light green backsplash.

A second pocket door connects the kitchen to the laundry room, which can also be accessed through a hidden door in the living room.

Let’s have a look at the other areas of the home…

The entryway is highlighted with matte green, while nearby is a powder room with walls finished in a bold terracotta color.

The living room is open to the dining area and a secondary lounge area. Both enjoy an abundance of natural light and uninterrupted views of the city.
