The Casa Nunes it is an apartment located in the heart of the city of Águeda. With only 89m², this project challenged creativity by requiring the integration of a complete program within a compact space, while always meeting the clients' expectations.

The secret to the success of the project lies in the use of furniture, which was designed to shape the space in a fluid and functional way. Among the standout elements, a prominent feature is a family sideboard positioned in the living room area, this piece, rich in sentimental value, was kept at the clients' request, becoming the central element in the design of the common space. Around this family sideboard, the entire spatial narrative was crafted, ensuring that the design of the living room reflected both functionality and an emotional connection to the past.

The Casa Nunes It is an example of how design can go beyond aesthetics, integrating meaningful elements that tell stories and gives personality to the space.
