HOMES
Sao Paulo - Mooca and Tatuapé
“I’ve always lived in houses, here in Tatuapé, houses are always semi-detached, whatever hasn’t become buildings, so I’ve always lived in houses. When I first walked in a decorated apartment I was in awe, 'wow, is this all the house there is? Where's the rest of it?' I had never lived in a building…”

“… there’s also that, when you rent a house: you can adapt the house up to a certain point so it looks more personal, but it will hardly be from scratch, right, because there are limits to what you can change; you can paint a wall, but if you leave the place you have to change it back.”

- “That’s something I think is kind of negative about doing everything with an architect, and actually our decor it’s because we had a hard time with decorating in the beginning because it seemed that anyone could be living here, there was no personality, it didn’t look like anyone, so it's still not very decorated, but we started putting up some pictures, we try not to have too many things so it’s not untidy.”
