Varanda Apartment’s Design Concept
🏢 Varanda Apartment: A Hybrid of Physical and Virtual Realms 🏢
Varanda Apartment masterfully blends traditional materials like cement and brick with cutting-edge technology, creating a unique “hybrid” space. Network cables, microcontrollers, and sensors are seamlessly integrated, enabling a responsive environment. The advanced house management system allows residents to control everything from access points, lighting, and irrigation to audio, video systems, curtains, and furniture via mobile devices, smart keypads, or voice commands.
🌿 Immersive Green Space
The apartment features a transformed living space that acts as an immersive balcony, thanks to its glass façade and floor-to-ceiling windows. This green oasis is home to various plant species native to Brazil, including fruit trees, a productive vegetable garden, and blooming flowers.
🛋️ Flexible and Dynamic Layout
Breaking free from traditional apartment layouts, Varanda Apartment offers a flexible floor plan. Walls and furniture can be moved, encouraging constant reconfiguration based on activities such as work, sleep, dining, socializing, and relaxation. Acoustic glass sliding doors and automated curtains further enhance versatility, allowing seamless transitions between social and private spaces.
🍽️ Adaptive Kitchen
The kitchen transforms into an integrated living area through large pivoting doors, functioning as a meeting area or workstation while retaining its traditional role. It includes a preparation zone, a countertop, a magnetic board, a television, and a cleaning area surrounded by a vegetable garden.
Experience the future of living with Varanda Apartment, where technology and nature coexist harmoniously.
