Design firm Nati Minas & Studio has created a special update to the Musa apartment located in Sao Paulo's Itaim Bibi neighborhood. This refurbishment is done to reflect the homeowners and their active lifestyle. There is a spotlight on the new climbing wall integrated right into the home, elevating their living room height by double what it used to be.
The colorful hand and foot design reaches all the way up to their ceiling. The studio explain, "The couple's request for the top floor was to create a meeting place where they could welcome friends and family and spend quality time together." The entire work mainly lightens up the space while adding a textural update to the social areas using trowelled-putty walls and porcelain floor tiling.
