The Cane-Chair Apartment — Largo do Curvelo

Full Walkthrough

Every room, as it is today.

Open-plan across three connected rooms — no bed currently in any of them. Bathroom is fully finished: marble walls, a green sink, toilet, and bathtub. The shower is an open cubicle without a door, consistent with a recurring modernist design choice across the units. Air conditioning is already installed.

Original cane chair, guitar, and antique console table

Room with pink armchair, floor mirror, and garden-view window

Sculptural wood console table catching dramatic afternoon light

Room with leather bench and large windows overlooking Santa Teresa rooftops

Finished bathroom with marble walls and turquoise fixtures

No bed currently in the unit, 1 bathroom (finished), A/C installed.

Scope

What needs doing

Open-plan across three connected rooms — one original cane chair worth re-caning and refinishing rather than replacing.
No bed currently anywhere in the unit — needs a king bed frame and mattress.
Bathroom is already finished — marble walls, green sink, toilet, and bathtub. Open shower cubicle, no door (intentional, matches the modernist theme).
Air conditioning already installed.
Suggest adding basic kitchenware, a compact cooktop, and a microwave — no kitchen setup currently for guest self-catering.
Curtains needed — linen plus a blackout layer.
Bedding needed — 2 full sets, hotel-grade.
Clothing rack needed.
Hangers needed (10x), good quality.
Garment steamer needed. Frigobar needed. Tall side lamp and a bedside table needed. Tall coat rack, metal bins (2x), and 2 sets of towels needed.
