Inside the neutral-toned space are Michel sofas by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/b-b-italia\/furniture\/\">B&amp;B Italia<\/a> and a massive painting by Brazilian artist Luiz Zerbini.

In 1990, she launched her eponymous studio, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fernandamarques.com.br\/\">Fernanda Marques Arquitetos Associados<\/a>, and has since been recognized as one of the top interior architects worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Located in S\u00e3o Paulo, this two-story, 5,000-square-foot apartment is home to a couple who are passionate about Brazilian art and design, and Marques aimed to showcase their impressive collection as much as possible. Among the homeowners&#8217; key pieces is an armchair by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/jose-zanine-caldas\/\">Jos\u00e9 Zanine Caldas<\/a>, an office table by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/joaquim-tenreiro\/furniture\/\">Joaquim Tenreiro<\/a>, a wooden bench by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/hugo-franca\/\">Hugo Fran\u00e7a<\/a> and artworks by Ernesto Neto, Edgard de Souza, Luiz Zerbini and Tunga.<\/p>\n<p>The ground floor comprises the living room, dining room and kitchen, while the upper level hosts the bedrooms, office and fitness room. Situated in the courtyard and visible from inside, the more than 30-foot-long swimming pool \u2014 separated from the home&#8217;s interior by three-inch-thick glass \u2014 was subtly incorporated into the apartment, in accordance with the couple&#8217;s wishes.

To achieve the very thick result, imported glass was used and specialized labor was required to install it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking back, I think it was well worth it,&#8221; she continues. &#8220;Neither the owners nor I can imagine the apartment without the pool.
