The project
This apartment occupies the Solar dos Arcos building in Belo Horizonte’s São Bento neighbourhood. Estúdio Pedro Haruf’s refurbishment opens up the 130 m² home, bringing more light into the shared rooms while retaining the character of the 1970s building.
The former service bathroom was removed and the laundry made smaller so the kitchen could open onto the dining room. A large steel-framed door with reeded glass allows it to be closed when needed while continuing to share light. A second door between the kitchen and utility area supports ventilation.
One bedroom now serves as a television room and can also become a guest room behind another glazed door. Strong colours in the metalwork sit against white walls and Tauari parquet. The refurbishment was completed in 2025.
