INTERIOR DESIGN
UNASSUMING AFFLUENCE
Unassuming from the outside, Ela reveals its secrets beyond its entrance. Here, there are no compromises; every element has been custom designed by architect Samuel Torres de Carvalho to radiate comfort and style. Ela, meaning “she” in Portuguese, exudes calm femininity: resplendent in curves and multi-layered, discreetly elegant yet unforgettable, private yet warmly welcoming.
