Living in a studio or a compact apartment brings a classic challenge: how to delimit spaces without “closing off” the environment and losing that feeling of spaciousness? We bring you an incredible project carried out in Brasília, designed by the Empório Hass Arquitetura firm, which used the cobogó as a key piece in decoration and functionality.
The Solution: Integration with Privacy
The main problem presented by the client was the need to organize the spaces of a studio apartment in a harmonious way. The solution found was the application of a cobogó room divider between the kitchen and the living room.
Unlike a regular masonry wall, the cobogó allows for visual integration. As shown in the video’s gathering images, whoever is in the kitchen is still part of what is happening in the living room, keeping the social environment alive and connected.
The Charm of the Orvalho Line
The model used in this project was from the Orvalho line, by Burguina Cobogó. Beyond its structural function of dividing, it acts as a design object. Some highlights mentioned by the architects were:
- Light and Shadow Effect: When light hits the divider, it creates a “light mosaic” on the floor and walls, bringing a unique visual dynamism to the property.
- Creative Layout: The way the pieces were positioned creates a design that becomes the center of attention in the decor.
Full Use of Space
In addition to the main divider, the 3D project revealed other smart solutions for small spaces:
- Home Office: Next to the living room, a small office was created, proving that even the smallest square footage can be multifunctional.
- Mix of Materials: The use of drywall and woodwork in other partitions complemented the design, ensuring a lightweight feel and fast execution.
Conclusion: Can You Use Cobogós in Small Spaces?
Many people believe that the ceramic cobogó is a bulky piece or that it takes up too much space, but this project proves otherwise. It brings charm, ventilation, and lighting, making it a perfect choice for those who want to transform a studio apartment into a sophisticated and well-designed home.
And you, would you use cobogós in your home?
