Fab 40: Triptyqe apartments

Brazil

We were introduced to Triptyque just over a year ago when their Harmonia 57 office building was inaugurated, with its planted façade; and we knew then that we would be seeing much more from the young Brazilian-French practice.

With bases in Sao Paulo and Paris, the practice’s four partners, Greg Bousquet, Carolina Bueno, Guillaume Sibaud and Olivier Raffaelli, have worked on residential, hospitality and temporary projects. Their latest offering is a set of twin flats on the aristocratic Arpoador Beach in Rio de Janeiro.

Belonging to a young creative couple, an artist and the founder of the Inhotim Art Institute, the two apartments are connected via a secret passage and share stunning sea views, framed beautifully through the clean minimalist contemporary interior.
