Apartment 53 by TN Architecture is a renovation project that turns a dark, confusing apartment into a brighter and more personal home.
The design idea is simple but useful: improve light, connect living spaces, keep the family’s Persian rug as an emotional anchor and let furniture and finishes bring personality into a calmer plan.
Project focus
The apartment is in Curitiba and was renovated for residents who no longer liked the original dark tones or awkward layout. Opening the living room to the balcony helped bring more natural light into the daily spaces.
The living room, dining area and wine corner are connected, while lighter furniture keeps the spaces visually permeable. The Persian rug becomes a key piece in the palette rather than an afterthought.
Details to notice
- Project size: 110 m2.
- Completion date: 2019.

Built project lesson
Apartment renovation pages work best when they explain the before condition. A reader should understand what was dark, confusing or inefficient, then see how the new layout solves it.
