A seductive home air fills every corner of this cozy duplex house, with open spaces to the outside and a decoration that invites the rest of its inhabitants.
An inheritance, a great opportunity and a dream place are the preamble to the history of this unique home. The original house -owned by the family for decades- enjoyed a generous surrounding garden. And an extension in habitable meters that was even excessive for the daily life of a current family.
Selling the building was not an option and sharing it was not viable. The problem was solved successfully by dividing the large house into smaller houses.
These are individual duplex house, one for each brother, with a vertical distribution. That is, with two floors, a small garden and independent terrace: a very functional solution. The pronounced slope of the land, which determines the curious plant of each house.
Also made it possible for all the rooms in both heights to enjoy sufficient natural light. The access is made directly by the upper floor. Where two bedrooms, a bathroom and the living room were installed.
The living area, decorated in the range of blues, has splendid views over the harbor and the beach. A staircase leads to the ground floor, with direct access to the garden. Here the kitchen acquires special importance. With a large dining area and recycled furniture, such as the cupboard, table and office stools.
The intention was to receive family and friends from early in the morning informally, without having to assemble the dining room table. The floor, in checkerboard in black and white, helped to reinforce the traditional air of the environment. Especially highlights the perfect integration of retro air parts with modern appliances that equip the work and cooking area.
Much quieter environments star the bedrooms; all of them presided over by large windows, which favor the generous entrance of natural light, and decorated in an exquisite way. With warm fabrics of delicate patterns, responsible for personalizing each space. Highlights the children’s room, with solutions as functional as the trundle beds or train-type bunk beds.
A very wise choice that guarantees the necessary storage space and, what is even more important, allows a free zone for the little ones to play at ease. And, the spaciousness of the bedroom allowed placing two beds nests in line on the same front and a bunk that rests on a freestanding wardrobe.
In this way it is possible to invite cousins and friends with total freedom without resorting to emergency solutions. The choice of materials: mud floors, natural fiber carpets and paint in raw tones make it very easy to maintain a space with a lot of trotting. In short, a home designed to enjoy the day to day and escape complications.

The length of the room for the smallest of the house allowed installing a modular composition that includes three beds. And a practical freestanding wardrobe. This furniture is not only excellent for its design. But also allows clearing the bedroom so that children have free space to play.
WELL-CHOSEN MATERIALS
Inspired by the old floors, the bathroom was covered with white and dark gray hydraulic tiles. This material offers an incredible resistance and can last for many years, the key is to give it the proper finish. Either crystallize it or waterproof it, with wax or with a specific product for it. In addition, when cleaning it is very important to avoid chemicals that would surely damage the surface. It is better to use a neutral soap.
The walls stand out for their excellent combination of tiles and paint. The lower area, more susceptible to contact with water was tiled in white. While the highest part was covered with gray plastic paint prepared against moisture.
We really liked the furniture where the sink is inserted. It has a very simple design, easy to integrate. The original towel rails integrated in the skirt stand out.
