SStyled in a sensuous neutral palette, the elegant \"vintage modern\" house draws you in with its refined, graceful design. The team remodeled a 57-pyeong apartment (about 2,028 sq ft) in Rio de Janeiro, turning it into a home with sweeping beachfront views and a stylish, family-friendly retreat for a young couple and their children.

The designers removed unnecessary interior walls and reworked the main area into a clean, open plan tailored to the family's daily life. The living room and kitchen now flow together as a shared communal space, finished in bright neutral tones. Warm oak floors anchor the rooms, creating a relaxed, grounded backdrop for the panoramic seaside view.

In the living room, custom wood built-ins with shelves and panels keep storage tidy and out of sight. A long window seat runs around the windows, and a modular sofa, lounge chair, coffee table, layered lighting, and a cozy rug are arranged to create a neat, comfortable family space for relaxing and spending time together.

The kitchen centers on a clean wood-built sink topped with a marble countertop and a matching marble island. A large dining table anchors the room, balancing a sense of luxury with everyday practicality.
