Soares Apartment Renovation, Brasília

Thomas Deckker was commissioned to renovate this apartment in one of the original superquadras in Brasilia. The main design objective was to recover the original 'heroic' modernism which characterised the first few apartment buildings in the city within the very modest building. The colours were derived from Le Corbusier's colour schemes.

The 'Brasília' Table was designed for this apartment.

Looking out the window (below) was the foundation of the Superquadra Penthouse project.

My experiences here led to the The Modern City Revisited conference and publication.
