Warmth Added to Buenos Aires Apartment with Trendy Terracotta Accents

A Buenos Aires architect transformed a newly purchased three-bedroom apartment in the upscale Barrio Norte neighborhood, prioritizing warmth and style for the owner's son. Architect Lucía Guerberoff focused on interior design, selecting lighting, finishes, and furniture to create a welcoming atmosphere within a tight, one-month deadline and without altering the original floor plan. Guerberoff utilized a slatted melamine finish for a living room wall, a material she found successful in its first use. She also designed a hanging shelf that enhances the sense of space. The kitchen was updated by replacing a cabinet with a hanging shelf and adding indirect lighting to compensate for the lack of windows. A neutral color palette, featuring off-white walls and textiles, black accents, and prominent terracotta tones, was employed to counteract the building's modern, cool concrete aesthetic and imbue the space with a sense of humanity. The design extends to the balcony, which features terracotta-colored outdoor furniture. In the main bedroom, Guerberoff replicated the living room's melamine finish for the bed's headboard, incorporating two hanging bedside tables. The smaller room was designed for guests or as a potential workspace, maintaining the overall aesthetic.
