Small Beach Apartment by José Tiago Rosa & Nuno Tavares
José Tiago Rosa in partnership with Nuno Tavares's project consists the transformation of a 50sqm apartment on the Laggon of Mira Beach for a temporary use. A common space of living room and kitchen define the main space of the apartment. Two small bedrooms, a bathroom, a small pantry/technical area and a terrace facing the lagoon, set the apartment's program. The intervention seeks above all to renew the existing spaces, remaining as main focus its clarity and simplicity.
To this end, we use the white color. In its spatial organization, we tried to always maintain the visual contact with the lagoon.

The challenge started with the client's proposal for us to do the entire renovation of the apartment. Our main focus is always to pursue clarity and simplicity in our projects. Bright Colors and simple ambients is our goal. The neutral color palette is fundamental in every single space. The style aims to be as modern and simple as possible.

We started with the basics. We designed the floorplans and started with some sketches. Then with add some inputs to the project by having a strong discussion with the client. We always do some physical models and 3d models. We use, cad software and sketchup+vray for the photorealistic 3d renders so the client can understand the possible final result.
- José Tiago Rosa
Our clients and social media followers are responding very well to our project. Since the day we published some 3d Renderings, people started to talk about it and discuss some of the apartment's features. We started the construction a few weeks ago. So, soon it will be a reality!
