Casa Alva is a temple of relaxation with light tones and signature design

Back at CASACOR São Paulo in 2021, the duo Bruno Carvalho and Camila Avelar, at the head of the BC Arquitetos office, once again leave their mark on the São Paulo show with theCasa Alva project. Recognized for their authentic and timeless designs , which give highlighting works of art and design pieces, the duo renewed their already consolidated style with an environment that conveys lightness and is like a temple of tranquility . Like a kind of monochromatic box full of cutouts, curves and textures, Casa Alva is a bright and minimalist project that focuses on connecting with nature, revisiting the four elements through art and design pieces: water, wind, fire and light. . "The word 'alva' symbolizes clarity, lightness and luminosity. The cutouts present in the project highlight the entrances of light and especially this closeness to nature. The simple lines with rounded details give a poetic and affectionate air to the environment", explains architect Bruno Carvalho. In the living room integrated with the dining room, it is possible to perceive a contemporary and minimalist poetic that guides the new way of living, connected with the future. In fact, the Internet of Things (IoT) is already a reality in Casa Alva – this is because the project features a powerful system automation , with which it is possible to control light, sound, curtains, swimming pools and all other functionalities of the space. The clean lines are highlighted by the Coral Seda Damasco paint, and by the Italian Terrazzo flooring that was chosen to cover the entire interior. In the room, a work by Edgar Racy deconstructs the Brazilian flag and the national anthem and strengthens the presence of Brazilian art. Conceived as a space where all attention is "turned inwards", Casa Alva values in its essence several concepts of biophilia , which seek to promote reconnection with elements of nature . Thus, elements such as fire are represented by the presence of the suspended fireplace in the living room; water is represented by the thermal bath and the pool with a thermal spring; the wind, on the other hand, circulates freely due to the absence of barriers between the environments; light is highlighted by the various cuts in the architecture; and finally, the green can be seen in the composition of the plants in the gardens of the internal and external areas – both developed by landscaper Sandro Ward . One of the highlights of the project is the massive presence of period Brazilian furniture , created by renowned artists such as Joaquim Tenreiro , who designed the chairs in the dining room and office. In the living room, the highlights are the coffee table Sérgio Rodrigues and armchairs by Percival Lafer and Zanini di Zanine . The furniture is complemented by items from the antique shops Galeria Teo, Herança Cultural and Use Galeria, as well as Collectania and Novo Ambiente. In the office, the famous blue geese appear, characters widely explored in BC Arquitetos projects and who have an emotional relationship with the duo.

Another unique feature of the space is the headboard , which was customized by Collectania. Also in this same space, there are two collaborations by Estúdio Manus: one of them is the fabric installation that divides the bedroom from the intimate spa. The other is a suspended flower sculpture, which represents the dreamlike language present in all the environments of Casa Alva. The highlight of the project is the intimate spa, consisting of a bathroom, massage area and pool with thermal treatment. The sandblasted raw travertine marble countertop, developed by the office especially for the show, with a built-in sink by Deca is the first sight of those who arrive at the bathroom – a space dedicated exclusively to relaxation and well-being. In the space to the left of the bathroom, there is the shower area, which was completely covered with rustic-looking tiles from Belamari. The same finish was used in the internal pool area, equipped with taps for thermal baths. Balance and lightness are part of the concept of BC Arquitetos' project for CASACOR São Paulo 2021 – a space that prioritizes calm, well-being and connection with nature . A home without barriers, where the exaltation of relaxation takes place in the intimate spa. See the full 3D Tour of the environment here.
