Fetish Loft - Ricardo Abreu. CASACOR São Paulo 2019. The space references the old French waiters and is a true visual expedition that plays with the senses, inviting the visitor to look inside themselves. The sculptural bathtub is visible and demarcates the space between the bed and the bathroom.

Subversive Lavabo - Anna Albano and Camila Abrahão. CASACOR Brasília 2019. The 44 m² space has only two coverings, tiles and mirrors, and there is no distinction between the floor and ceiling of the space - one seems to reflect the other. In the center of the space, the internal garden establishes another symmetrical axis.

Public Bathroom - Marcelo Diniz. CASACOR São Paulo 2018. Three stone sinks are supported by a leather swing, and the faucets simulate water spouts. Elements that, together, refer to nature, when the water hits the stone and follows its course.

Public Restrooms - Valéria Junqueira. CASACOR Minas Gerais 2019. Art and design pieces are featured in this bathroom that pays homage to Brazilian modernism. The tile panel is by artist Alexandre Mancini, a disciple of Athos Bulcão. Paintings by James Kudo, sinks and benches by Jader Almeida also appear in the space.

DECA Loft - Mariana Orsi. CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2019. The 56 m² integrated space opens onto the garden through the glass and permeability of the solid Tauari wood panel. In the bathroom, a loose and unruly layout proposal is complemented by the yellow hydraulic tile.

WC Linha - Trad Dalberto Arquitetura. CASACOR São Paulo 2019. The goal was to transform the impersonal public bathroom into something welcoming and affectionate. To achieve this, three key colors were chosen: Crown Jewel, Persian Water and Oriental Coral, shades that reference the bottom of the sea. The geometric shapes, straight and organic lines, give movement and dynamism to the space.

Transtudio - Ricardo Abreu Borges. CASACOR São Paulo 2018. With 29 m², the space updates classic elements and gives them new meaning, such as the boiseries on the walls and ceiling, the mirrored screen and the gold details. The bathroom subverts architectural rules and appears completely exposed. In it, a neon sign reads “Be Anything”.

Tri Suave Lavatory - Marilia Zimmermman. CASACOR Rio Grande do Sul 2019. The starting point came from the architecture of the historic building, with its sequential arched balconies, mentioned in the room's mirrors. Another inspiration came from the favorite colors of the year, which star in the space. The lighting brings movement and depth.

WC No Gender - Lisandro Piloni. CASACOR São Paulo 2018. The Memphis style and the 1980s atmosphere bring a relaxed feel to this 30 m² space, which is full of geometry and colors. From the partitions to the coverings, including the cutouts of the mirrors, everything conveys joy and freedom.

Bathroom: Reflex Box - Hebert Vargas and Nataly Dorado. CASACOR Bolivia 2019. In the center of the bathroom, there is a water mirror. Above it, a mirrored cube was placed that gives the sensation of floating - the project's reflection box. Above, the opening reveals the vegetation that surrounds the space.

Three Elements - Bárbara Salles. CASACOR São Paulo 2019. The conceptual and creative bathroom used a synesthetic proposal to invite the visitor to a moment of introspection. The private boxes were built in the shape of cocoons, from where you can hear the sound of the mother's womb. Upon leaving, the space evokes ballad music.
(Victor Eleutério)
This is not true, however, for the CASACOR cast, who have been proposing totally original and unexpected concepts for the bathrooms and lavatories of the shows over the years. Technological solutions are great allies in the creation of these environments, which have spread throughout Brazil and Latin America. Check out the gallery![newsletter]
