01/16 - CASACOR Brasília 2019. Finitura House - Deborah Pinheiro. The starting point was to enhance the original features of the house designed by Oscar Niemayer. The existing concrete structure was reinterpreted with contemporary materials that reference modernism, such as the cement floor and wall coverings. Wood also covers most of the surfaces, while touches of aquamarine green add lightness to the details in the 307 m² space. (Jomar Bragança)
02/16 - CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2019. Bathroom - Eliana and Fabiola Caramuru. Tailor-made for a contemporary couple, the space includes a bathroom area with a shower and bathtub. It features marble-look porcelain tiles, which combine delicacy and robustness. The coat rack, metalwork, mirror frames and Brazilian metalwork furniture create strong visual lines. (Felipe Araújo)
03/16 - CASACOR Santa Catarina | Balneário Camboriú 2019. Bathroom - Natália Xavier. The mix of materials converges towards well-being, in the 12 m² space that guarantees space for an urban jungle next to the bathtub. Stones in various shades, glass and a slatted wood finish give a natural atmosphere, canceling out the difference between the indoor and outdoor areas. (Lio Simas)
04/16 - CASACOR Santa Catarina | Florianópolis 2019. Master Suite - Leandro Sumar and Fabio Vitorino. Total integration between bedroom, closet and bathroom with soaking tub. Gold frames, metals and handles are details that affirm the sophisticated tone, as does the natural marble on the two-tone floor. (Lio Simas)
05/16 - CASACOR Paraguay 2019. Main Bathroom - Bettina Daud, Laura Oviedo and María Paz Feliciángeli. The well-being that prevails in the space is the result of its desire for nature, expressed in the indoor vegetation and the paper and porcelain coverings. The lighting takes on unique designs through the cobogós scattered throughout the space and provides a feeling of welcome. (Negib Giha)
06/16 - CASACOR Brasília 2019. Casa Capital - Ney Lima. The presence of technology in the home flows in this wall-free space, which establishes an organic connection between the living room, bedroom, bathroom and closet in 92 m². The modular sofa and furniture by Jader Almeida allow for various compositions, and this is the intention. To maintain privacy in the bathroom, the ultra-thin display inserted between two sheets of glass becomes transparent or opaque when activated. In the background, the highlight is the 21 m² LED panel with images of nature. (Jomar Bragança)
07/16 - CASACOR Goiás 2019. Riscatto Bathroom – Giovanna Diniz, Michelle Mourão, Julianna Borges and Isabela Carvalho. The quartzite that gives its name to the 25.84 m² space covers the deck that delimits the wet area. There, the soaking tub steals the show. Lighting plays a central role and, through mirrors, is directed into the shower and shower. The brass details and velvet sofa bring a sophisticated look. (Jomar Bragança)
08/16 - CASACOR Goiás 2019. Vila Sala de Banho – André Brandão and Márica Varizo. Nest-shaped, the 65 m² space brings a feeling of welcome and renewal, with natural materials that connect people and nature. The walls were covered with panels inspired by the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique, which preserves wood through the carbonization process. It is an allusion to the cerrado and the fires. (Jomar Bragança)
09/16 - CASACOR São Paulo 2019. Dolce Villa Todeschini - Débora Aguiar. The 480m² house has a contemporary and clean style, proposing a sophisticated and elegant urban retreat surrounded by nature. A large panel with metal louvers in recycled aluminum makes up the façade, allowing more natural light to enter the rooms. From a central axis, the house is divided into a private and social area, the latter completely facing a central garden with large glass doors that create an indoor-outdoor connection. The entrance hall displays a sculpture by the Swiss artist Not Vital and opens the way to the rest of the project, which features lots of greenery with its gardens and flowerbeds, natural stones and cozy environments. (Salvador Cordaro)
10/16 - CASACOR Brasília 2019. Pied-à-Terre - Silvana Albuquerque and Luisa Albuquerque. The French expression means “down to earth” and refers to a small apartment or a temporary second home. The important thing is to be cozy, like in this 108 m² space. There are practically no walls or pillars, but openings for light and elements that create connection. One of them is the rustic stone panel that visually unites the living room, bedroom and bathroom. The living room has a sloping ceiling with acoustic lining made of reforested wood. The furniture includes classic pieces by national and international designers, such as Ricardo Fasanello and Jorge Zalszupin. (Jomar Bragança)
11/16 - CASACOR Ceará 2019. Casa Nômade - Ramiro Mendes. Inspired by the Beat Generation, a group of North American writers and poets from the 1950s and 1960s with a nomadic lifestyle, and the work On The Road, by Jack Kerouac, the house is the place where concerns can be calmed. It was designed for lovers of coffee, literature, jazz, meditation and those eager to travel the world, to rest and prepare for the next adventure. In the environment, a beautiful garden, a room for entertaining friends with a balcony and a soaking tub, as well as a practical and well-equipped kitchen with a large natural wood table and modern products. The suite has a study bench, comfortable bed, closet and a bathroom completely covered with natural stones and views of the house's garden. In the color palette, soft tones. (Esdras Guimarães)
12/16 - CASACOR Rio Grande do Sul 2019. Kairos SPA Suite - Sandro Jasnievez. In Greek mythology, Kairos is the god of opportune and indeterminate time. Here, in addition to closets and individual bathrooms for the couple, the suite has a dry sauna, which prolongs the moment of self-care. (Cristiano Bauce)
13/16 - CASACOR São Paulo 2019. Casa Pausa - Michel Safatle. To create the Casa Pausa space, Michel Safatle was inspired by the silent purism of colors and shapes, conceptualized in Zen-Orientalist constructivism, expressed through a monochromatic palette based on the play of textures and tones from nature, always with black as the base and touches of Beijing red. With many works of art and pieces signed by renowned designers, the project exhibits, for example, the sculpture “The Angel” (1949/2004) by Tarsila do Amaral, as well as a rare seven-page letter, written in 1969 by the medium Chico Xavier to his friend, painter, designer and translator, four days after her death. (Romulo Fialdini)
14/16 - CASACOR Brasília 2019. Bathroom S Dois - Studio 2 by Alex Claver and Wilker Medeiros. The duo visited the city of Tulum, on the coast of Mexico, and from there came the beginning of this 70 m² space. The coastal mood comes from the combination of sand-toned porcelain tiles, the bamboo-lined ceiling and the use of wood and straw in the accessories. The handcrafted pieces highlight the production of various regions of the country, such as the wooden sculpture made exclusively for the project. (Jomar Bragança)
15/16 - CASACOR Bahia 2019. Cravo e Canela Bungalow – Jéssica Araújo. The contrast between the rough, industrial materials and the greenery that invades the environment provides a unique experience for those who pass through the Cravo e Canela Bungalow, by architect Jéssica Araújo. The bedroom and bathroom maintain a strong connection with nature throughout the entire space. Artist Romilda Patez created the colorful figurative work with soil from the Pernambuco backlands. José Paulo's leather installation reveals the architect's predilection for regional artists. (Gabriela Daltro)
16/16 - CASACOR Santa Catarina | Balneário Camboriú 2019. Artist's Refuge - D'Fatto Arquitetos Associados. In the loft surrounded by nature, each element brings something surprising and conceptual. One of them is the bathroom that explores marble and stones. It would be a monochromatic installation, were it not for the plants and the warm lighting positioned behind the bathtub. (Lio Simas)
