The globalized and interconnected world we live in is bringing interesting and revolutionary effects to civil engineering. Modern developments must meet the demands of housing in these new times. It is necessary to offer apartments in accordance with a lifestyle that combines movement, functionality and flexibility.

The mix provided by compact real estate explains the growth in the number of apartments with this profile throughout Brazil. According to data compiled by the Brazilian Chamber of Construction Industry (CBIC), sales of small one-bedroom properties grew by 30.2% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of the previous year.

Given the fact that Florianopolis stands out nationally in real estate valuation indexes, the capital of Santa Catarina, as well as its metropolitan area, could not stay away from this wave of the real estate market. Connected to all the latest, RODES Engenharia is building in San José the city closest to the capital and one of the fastest growing cities in Santa Catarina, an innovative and unique venture.

A novelty for the noble region of San José

The Aster Residence is located in Cobrasol, an area considered to be the heart of San José. This is due to its very privileged location, with quick and easy access to Beira Mar and exits on the BR-101 to the south and north. Those who live in Cobrasol also have access to the area’s excellent infrastructure with a wide range of trade and service opportunities. Attractions are available for those who choose RODES Engenharia for living or investment.

Although Áster Residence also offers two-bedroom suites with a total area of ​​72.22 m², the flagship of Áster Residence are the compact studio apartments, whose own area varies from 32.85 m² to 50.35 m². With an eye on those who see that the good life goes beyond large apartments, or who are looking for excellent investment opportunities, RODES has designed a development project in line with the new dynamic of life.

These are units that stand out for their functionality, without sacrificing high standards of construction and finishes, in a complex that offers relaxation areas and differentiated services including a swimming pool, an outdoor living room with a fireplace, a ballroom and games room, a gourmet restaurant. facilities, fitness and business, and a laundry room with pet shower and space for pets.

There is also a technology footprint. The building has a remote concierge, and the apartments are equipped with an electronic lock, motorized blinds and full automation. Another highlight are balconies, which are not very common in compact apartments.

“We have focused precisely on meeting the specific requirements that arise in our fast-paced, ever-changing routine. This is new to the region, unparalleled, in the disruptive style that characterizes the work of RODES,” emphasizes the director of the construction company, Louise Deschamps.

Individuality and style in temporary housing

To give a clearer picture of the living experience designed for Áster Residence, RODES Engenharia has prepared two decorated studios that are open to visitors. One of them is “Studio Delta”, with the most compact building layout and an architectural project made by the House of Architecture of a construction company.

“Studio Delta’s architectural design embodies a style well suited to temporary housing and rentals. Our team worked in the style of the famous home production. Those who come to the apartment thinking, for example, about investing, already find a fully prepared space that can be rented out without difficulty or worries,” says architect Louise Deschamps.

As Francieli Deschamps from the RODES architectural house team adds, the idea of ​​a functional and pleasant studio for all tastes and social profiles defined the initial design, with smaller furniture and a more neutral color palette, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. . All this is very well combined with a touch of personality provided by handmade fabrics and decorative items, as well as flexible and cozy lighting. The result is a lightweight, flexible and comfortable environment.

“We aim to avoid the colder style of hotels, although the focus is on temporary accommodation. A good example of this is the Azorean touch, honoring the typical culture of Florianopol. The studio is designed with photographs by Nilva Damian and Sandra Puente, which capture very traditional elements of Santa Catarina Island. In the bedroom, we also used a handmade bobbin lace panel, another highlight of the magical island, as our capital is called, ”comments Franceli.

Smart architecture makes a difference

In the case of Phoenix Studios, other sets ready to be visited, the slightly larger frame size allowed the different environments to be more specifically defined. The Living Arquitetura team behind the decorative project says the focus was on making the future tenant want to return home.

“A very well thought out plan allowed for a more defined living, sleeping and service area, with more comfort and flexibility for more or less integration of the environment,” says architect Anderson Pitz.

“In compact apartments, rational and sensible use of space is of great importance. And here in Studio Phoenix we have achieved an excellent result in this regard. The pieces of furniture help divide the space with transparency and lightness, providing a great opportunity to store and display objects in accordance with the desire of the future occupant,” sums up Juliana Franz, also an architect at Living.

As with Studio Delta, the project prioritizes natural fabrics, handicrafts and straight lines in the name of a cleaner and more welcoming environment, dominated by colors in a crisp white palette but exuding style and personality in details like yellow. a sofa in the living room and a black wall in the bedroom. These are elements that complement paintings, lamps and other decorative elements, giving the studio charm and uniqueness. The lighting follows a directional line and heats up more to make you feel good and enjoy every corner.

The architecture options featured in both Studio Delta and Studio Phoenix prove that compact apartments go way beyond civil engineering trends. This is a space for the materialization of a new way of life, serving the routine of people who are looking for movement, practicality and full expression of their personality.
