两个迷路的孩子的公寓丨巴西丨Moca Arquitetura

The Two Lost Kids Apartment in Curitiba, Brazil, epitomizes the colorful and creative world of content creators Thalita and Gabriela Zukeram. Designed by Moca Arquitetura in 2023, the space serves as both a functional home and a playful set for the duo’s productions. Featuring vibrant colors, geometric shapes, and modern finishes, the apartment includes iconic design pieces like Togo armchairs and a custom Ello lamp.

A space designed to transport you into the colorful and creative world of Two Lost Kids—this is how architects Katia Azevedo and Ana Sikorski describe their recent project for the Paraná-based duo, sisters Thalita and Gabriela Zukeram.

The space mirrors the distinctive and irreverent aesthetic of these content creators, doubling as a set for their productions. Known for collaborations with international brands like Jean Paul Gaultier and Adidas, the duo sought the same versatility in this environment that defines their visual identity.

“The project needed to reflect what we already know about their aesthetic. It was as if we took all their videos and compiled them into one space, creating a portal to their universe,” explain the partners at Moca Arquitetura, the firm responsible for the project.

Working with curves, geometric shapes, primary colors, and the organic symmetry that marks the influencers’ style, the apartment explores modern finishes with custom lacquered and formica cabinetry. While defining the spaces, the curved wall dividing the living room from the kitchen maintains the flow and circulation, creating a visual that is both sculptural and cinematic.

One of the standout features of the apartment is the pair of Togo armchairs, centered in front of the dividing wall. This iconic design piece, created by French designer Michel Ducaroy in the early 1970s, is a focal point. Nearby is another striking feature, this time designed by the architecture studio itself: the Ello lamp, a modular piece with wood, glass, and LED details.

To maintain the playful and artistic look of the space, appliances and electronics are nearly camouflaged, keeping the design minimalist. For example, the television has a matte finish, resembling a piece of art. Its layered, wavy frame adds texture, contrasting with the simplicity of the cabinet and desk.

“When we began this project, they didn’t yet have a dedicated studio for their productions. Much of their content was still being filmed at home, so the space needed to be not only functional but also somewhat theatrical,” they explain.

The result is a space that embodies the fun, imaginative, and nostalgic DNA of Two Lost Kids, offering functionality and comfort for the duo to express their creativity.
