'Living' has taken on new dimensions in recent years and, increasingly, people are looking for environments that bring a sense of welcome. This is just one of the trends that the public can observe at the third edition of CASACOR Paraíba , which takes place until July 2nd in João Pessoa, at Avenida Ruy Carneiro, nº 700, in Miramar. This year, the most comprehensive exhibition of architecture, decoration, interior design and landscaping in the Americas has the theme “ Body & Home ”, giving a special look at the attention, affection and care that should permeate our relationships with the body, mind, others, home, consumption, the city and the planet. The theme was developed by CASACOR curators Livia Pedreira , Pedro Ariel Santana and Cristina Ferraz , who mapped the macro trends in behavior that impact the contemporary lifestyle.

Georgia Suassuna, Raquel Claudino and Bia Campelo - Arvoreza. The word "arvoreza" comes from tree and also from the action of taking something to higher places. The garden provokes the senses of those who walk along its small paths, full of trees and a welcoming atmosphere. It is a true green embrace, with regional roots in the middle of the urban jungle, like a comfortable invitation through the rich and beautiful design of the outdoor furniture.

Erica Saraiva - Go Art. An architect who discovered herself as an artist and has been communicating through colors and shapes in spaces for three years. The environment is an invitation to delve into our paths and dreams that we once dreamed of. When I look at myself, what reflection do I see? What paths did we take that brought us here? Fragments of our stories, which complete who we are. Colors that tell our stories and explode in feelings and expressions.

Murilo Cantuária and Renata Dantas - Living Room. Driven by a desire to provide experiences and create meaningful spaces, the Cantuária Arquitetura and Renata Dantas Arquitetura offices joined forces to redefine one of the most emblematic spaces in the house, the dining room. Inspired by elements found in nature, with a focus on regionalism, the project was designed to socialize, feel and remain, where good living is a necessity.

Camilla Furtado - La Cave. La Cave is a wine cellar inspired by staying at home with comfort and leisure. It is an environment whose main concept is underground wineries, which bring with them the cosiness, sophistication and light touch of rusticity of the old cellars, where the great wine producers kept the most valuable corks. The furniture invites you to relax and enjoy a good wine in great privacy. Automation helps to change the mood of the environment, whether to choose a label or simply relax. The decoration was entirely based on the world of wine lovers, through boxes, grape leaves and paintings, in addition to the bottles themselves.

Rebeca Cavalcanti and Pablo Maximo - Café Terrarium. The Form Arquitetos office, led by the couple Rebeca Cavalcanti and Pablo Maximo, combines architecture and landscaping in a unique way. Café Terrarium has a bold glass façade, housing a self-sufficient ecosystem of plants. Inside, the table benches transform into planters with organic shapes, balancing with the architecture of straight lines, connected by the floor with perfect joints made by hand in the raw stone. The monochromatic palette highlights the focal points in green tones and the terrariums scattered throughout the space.

Cacau Araújo - Cooking Room. The “Cooking Room” is an innovative architectural environment that reimagines the traditional kitchen as a space for coexistence and interaction, offering a unique food preparation and meal experience. Combining functionality and design, this revolutionary concept aims to promote socialization while enjoying the pleasure of cooking. The Cooking Room concept was designed to provide an interactive experience between occupants.

Sarah Cavalcanti - Salus Deca Spa. The aim of sparking innovation in architecture is one of the architect’s main trademarks. Experienced in the area for 20 years, the professional rescues and includes the creative concept of ancient Roman thermal baths, where water was an element of medicinal healing. Salus Deca's water slides combine with the monochromatic composition and materials in their different shapes and textures. The space performs its functions and provides visual, sound, olfactory and tactile sensations, generating an invitation to relax the mind and body.

Mariana Honorato, Melina Cavalcanti and Caroline Almeida - Sereno Refúgio. The suite was designed with a sense of refuge and comfort in mind, aiming at well-being and relaxation. A 65 square meter space designed so that, through comfort and connection with nature, energy is recharged, rest is invigorating and relationships are serene. Using elements that refer to nature, such as organic shapes, the spacious suite has large openings to provide natural lighting, as well as a view of the outside area; thus bringing comfort and elegance to the environment. The proposal is the result of the union of ideas of three architects.

Viviane Teles - Jardim Aroeira. According to botanists, trees occupy 85% of the planet and play an important and decisive role in improving life. Bringing them into human space is a conscious part of a restorative plan that we all need to implement, regardless of our professional area of activity in life.

Helena Pedrosa and Anne Rocha - Studio W. The duo's story began while they were still in college. Later, time and affinity for working together led to the emergence of a mutual interest in the partnership and creation of Studio HA. Helena Pedrosa and Anne Rocha focus on humanization and individualization, treating each client as unique. Their environment, Studio W, is a reference to the W generation, which is the first globalized generation, with a technological coexistence that began in childhood. They are young people who grew up in the world of the internet, but who admire art in all its grandeur.

Gaby Souza - Cucina Restaurant. Gaby Souza works in the area of sustainable architecture and interiors and debuts at CASACOR Paraíba with the prestigious atmosphere of the restaurant. The concept followed the proposal of the Al Dente Cucina brand. With classic and regional features, it incorporates the aesthetics of the house's original structure, doing justice to its signature. The proposal features a contemporary, biophilic design and an aesthetic reminiscent of Italian bohemia. Awakening all the senses, it is the perfect environment to enjoy the best company, gastronomy and music.

Nathalia Linhares and Alcides H. Silva - Prologue (Facade). Odisse architects is an Architecture and Design studio that emerged with a provocative and responsive impetus to the dilemmas of shaping the habitable space and the objects inserted in that space. For CASACOR, a facade was produced through algorithmic design, an architectural installation formed by a cluster of small rectangular pieces of different sizes that create the effect of curves along the facade of the house. For this work, only discarded wood, pieces of non-commercial dimensions or with small defects were used.

Johanna Elisa and Andressa Maia - Lavatories with Functional Bathrooms. The architects joined forces to compete for the 1st Young Professional Award of CASACOR Paraíba 2023 and were thus awarded the Lounge environment with Functional Lavatories. The project brings with it the demystification of the bathroom as a merely functional space, recognizing it as an environment for self-care and well-being. The environment rescues synergy – which is when more than one sense is heightened simultaneously – thus providing a unique, welcoming and sensitive atmosphere, through the use of color, textures and biophilia.

Ada Caroliny and Gersica Borges - Arcos do Canto. Creating and executing the identity of a place to connect is always a challenge. Making their debut at CASACOR, the duo Ada Caroliny and Gérsica Borges sought references in Greco-Roman architecture with the idea of prioritizing arches and making curved lines the protagonists, generating movement. The palette fluctuates between nuances of white, bringing a feeling of coziness with the use of textures. The works of art on the displays bring a touch of color, creating a vibrant atmosphere. To highlight the most valuable item in the space, special attention was paid to the lighting.

Adelle Mendes and Mayara Lopes - Nouveau Joalheria. Nouveau Jewelry is poetry that pays homage to curves, refinement, asymmetry and extravagance. The inspiration came from the curves of the female body, the jewelry store's target audience and the address that hosts the 2023 edition in Paraíba. When visiting the house that hosts the exhibition, it was impossible not to be enchanted by the clear influence of curved lines in its architectural features. Curves are also present in the striking architectural style of Art Noveau and served as inspiration for the reinterpretation that interior designer Adelle Mendes and architect Mayara Lopes brought to the environment.

Gracita Lopes and Sheila Lopes - Casa Pedra. At CASACOR Paraíba 2023, Gracita Lopes and Sheila Lopes pay homage to simplicity by creating Casa de Pedra, a concept space by designer Palone Leão. The inspiration is Mediterranean, with freshness and lightness, so that the main product, the jewelry, is the star of the space. With 37 years in the market, these architects from Rio Grande do Norte, who crossed the backlands and explored oceans, promote here an organic, light and warm architecture, like the summer breeze of all the seas.

Renata Gadelha - Jardim Vereda. Renata Gadelha enjoys working with colors, both in architecture and landscaping. She also enjoys building narratives in her projects. For Jardim Vereda, the professional wanted to bring back memories of vacations spent in the backlands. Earthy tones, rustic materials and species typical of the caatinga, such as bromeliads and mandacarus. The space, which begins in the central courtyard, changes gradually and gradually gains oblique contours and tropical species to generate interest along the path that leads the visitor towards the exit and also towards the sea.

Renato Teles - Muxarabi Lounge (Ticket Office). The ticket office designed by Renato Teles was designed to be a "passageway", as a neutralizing environment between the other spaces, inviting and welcoming visitors to enter the house.

Bruna Sá - Divino Retiro. Bruna Sá celebrates the 14th anniversary of her office with her participation in CASACOR Paraíba by designing Divino Retiro, an inviting environment, a type of urban refuge that recalls the scenes of the Mediterranean coastal regions. The elements bring a sense of tranquility and the light colors inspire calm. Materials such as natural stone and light wood set the tone of harmony in the environment, as do the distinctive texture and soft lighting. Wooden furniture and organic shapes contribute to the beauty and comfort of the space.

Henrique Santiago - Serra da Borborema. “Woman of the land, at the foot of the mountains, old girl'' - Cora Coralina. It was at the top of the mountain that Henrique Santiago saw those he loves so much walking. In this way, the space represents time, made by the hand of man, dedication and creativity, a dive into the culture that represents us. A patchwork quilt full of references, the environment is seen in a contemporary way, recycling the dormant treasures and textures that set trends in the world. In Serra, the walls breathe, create life, the floor caresses the feet, the colors involve the spirit, the furniture and objects form a scene and the light illuminates the heart.

Amanda Cruz - Living Criare. Welcome to Living Criare, an exuberant and inspiring space designed by renowned architect Amanda Cruz, in the third edition of CASACOR Paraíba 2023.

A place to welcome friends, listen to music, stay and toast!

Camilla Furtado - Living da Colecionadora. The Living da Colecionadora environment is designed for a woman who loves and admires the arts, who likes to travel the world and collect the most diverse items based on her experiences. The environment features works of art by artists such as Marlene Almeida, José Rufino, Maria Cheung, Maria Amélia Vieira and Cesar Revorêdo, as well as works by Ateliê Cornicci and Pulse Atelie. The environment is inspired by the tones and sinuosities of Marlene Almeida's works, with colors and natural aspects, extracted from the earth pigments collected on her expeditions around the world. At first, the environment is inspired by an art gallery, followed by a cozy and bold living environment.

With a masterplan designed by David Bastos, the exhibition has 23 spaces spread across a very generous area, where the professionals had ample opportunities to create experiences for the public that will visit the exhibition. One of the greatest names in contemporary Brazilian architecture, David Bastos began his career in the 1990s and, since then, has developed projects that prioritize comfort and informality. One of the hallmarks of the professional's work is the harmonious combination of different styles.
Natural elements are on the rise

In its third edition, CASACOR Paraíba presents a variety of natural elements, as well as environments integrated with nature. The demand for projects that combine beauty, efficiency, quality, comfort and sustainability is not just a market trend and, therefore, sustainable materials are increasingly gaining prominence in projects.

The creation of the environments also requires careful curation of works of art in order to allow the public to see up close pieces by internationally awarded names, such as Sérgio Rodrigues, Francisco Brennand and José Rufino, and also discover new talents. All the spaces feature at least a touch of local artists . The Sala da Serra da Borborema space, for example, was created from a woven hammock, which enchanted architect Henrique Santiago.
