The LF Bristol project, developed for couple Fernando and Let\u00edcia, brought together vintage pieces by designers such as Jorge Zalszupin, Zanine de Zanine and Sergio Rodrigues without major civil works, as the property is rented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5391-1-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5391-1-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5391-1-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5391-1-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5391-1-1536x1032.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5391-1-2048x1377.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The refurbishment prioritised the preservation of original architectural elements. White Carrara marble flooring in the social areas and ip\u00ea wood flooring in the private areas were completely restored, maintaining the property&#8217;s original character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5338-1-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5338-1-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5338-1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5338-1-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5338-1-1536x994.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5338-1-2048x1325.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the sitting room, walls, floor, ceiling and curtains in soft tones create a neutral base that highlights the furniture. Rosewood dominates the space, with antique pieces collected by the couple. The room is divided into two organically connected environments: a more traditional one, with sofa and armchair separated from the television area by a discreet panel, and another focused on contemplating the urban landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The connection between the spaces is made through the iconic Onda Bench by Zalszupin. In the dining room, a work by Roberto Burle Marx harmonises with Agda chairs by Zanine de Zanine. Wooden and straw tips by Sergio Rodrigues, alongside the Guanabara table by Zalszupin, complete the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"699\" src=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5321-1-1024x699.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5321-1-1024x699.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5321-1-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5321-1-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5321-1-1536x1049.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5321-1-2048x1399.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the bedrooms, the strategy prioritised lightness. In the master bedroom, the bed fully covered in neutral-coloured tapestry invites rest. Headboards and fabrics overlap subtly, creating a delicate contrast. The guest room features a muxarabi panel at the back, an element that adds warmth and visual complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5445-1-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5445-1-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5445-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5445-1-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5445-1-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5445-1-1364x2048.jpg 1364w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5445-1-scaled.jpg 1705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project&#8217;s main challenge was to harmonise the physical and historical weight of the furniture with the flat&#8217;s light and bright structure. Textures and weaves became allies in bringing joviality to a collection of pieces with dense historical significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5496-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5496-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5496-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5496-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5496-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5496-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/archgallerydesign.art.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0Z7A5496-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides the designers already mentioned, the project incorporates works by Jean Gillon, Jader Almeida and Bruno Jorge.
