Nostalgia. This is the feeling that some members of the cast of the 27th edition of CASACOR Paraná felt when they got involved in the preparations for the 2021 edition: this year, the show will be held between September 5 and October 17 in the premises of an old sports center which, although it has been closed for about 15 years, has marked the lives of many Curitiba residents who began swimming and exercising there. The structure of almost 6,000 m² of built area, including the four imposing swimming pools, is full of history and is where the public can seek inspiration and see how the Original House theme was interpreted in 39 environments designed by veteran professionals and new talents . Among Among them, there are three generous living areas, internal spaces that offer proposals for living and working, as well as a pleasant gastronomy area with a confectionery and café.

Gustavo Scaramella - Office. An intimate space, created to inspire and stimulate creativity, to be surrounded by books, works of art, souvenirs and references. The focus of the project is the balanced union of styles that creates a casual, bold and elegant environment. On a sober base, the architect imprints his personality through prints, colors and textures.
(Eduardo Macarios)
08/38 -
Ismael Gustavo Zanardini and Thatiane Botto de Barros - STM Lounge. The multisensory installation promotes the public's connection with the DNA of Linked projects.

A reactive environment in which lighting, projection and sound are used together to activate the architectural space and connect people.
(Eduardo Macarios)
09/38 -
Karol Venturini - The Home Store. To display the items for sale, shelves were designed to fit delicately into the irregular curves of the walls - the design of the space becomes even more organic with the textures of the coverings and the loose furniture. Highlighting the lighting that enhances the selection of products that combines several timeless design pieces
(Eduardo Macarios)

Nicolle Nogueira and Katherine Heim Weber - Rottas Prime Lounge. The definition of home goes beyond the composition of the spaces: it involves the sounds and scenes of everyday life, unique flavors, the touch of materials or a smell that fixes the mental address of your home. The proposal of this space is to transmit these same sensations and create a reconnection with the essence of what home represents to each person.
(Eduardo Macarios)
11/38 -
Kátia Herzog - Living Room by the Fireplace. In this luxurious space with a contemporary touch, the piano and the imposing fireplace are the highlights. Panels covering the walls, noble materials such as marble, tapestries and fabrics bring comfort and sophistication to the environment designed to enhance coexistence. Selected furniture and objects also define an atmosphere with plenty of amplitude, fluidity and, above all, a lot of elegance.

Alexandre Weiss and Nelson Machado - Living da Lareira. Conceived before the pandemic, the project was designed to bring people together, to welcome, to be casual and cozy. The concept continued and was perfectly usable for the current moment. Built inside a deactivated swimming pool, the space has 100 m² and can be adapted for indoor or outdoor areas, bringing nature through biophilic design.
(Eduardo Macarios)
13/38 -
Larissa Gomes - Intimate Living. This is an environment designed for all family members and offers several possibilities in a single space: home theater, playroom and reading corner.

(Eduardo Macarios)
15/38 -
Leonardo Tulli - Lounge Band Paraná. This project represents the connection with the environment and nature by exploring different levels of perception of human evolution. It is the result of the (mis)encounter of lines that form volumes and fill the space, making it unique and expanding the search for knowledge. In the palette, black and white contrast and complement each other at the same time. Scattered plants bring green to the composition.

16/38 -
Luana Vansin - Home and Dining Links. In today's world, living and dining areas have become spaces for bonding, a refuge amidst the chaos. This project symbolizes the escape point from the outside. A world reflected in the deep meaning of colors, in the links between the eternal and the new, in the subtext of architectural typologies, artists, textures, materiality and the intensity of the warmth of being together again.
(Eduardo Macarios)
17/38 -
Luciana Gibaile - Decompression Room. Since the space is located inside a swimming pool, the project also had an unusual touch: the intention here is to offer something new that brings reflections on the social, emotional and physical importance of places of this nature for well-being at work.

(Eduardo Macarios)

In the hall, nature appears in the vertical garden, in beehive-shaped elements and in the design that represents the bee that carries the world on its back.
(Eduardo Macarios)

André Henning - Cafeteria. Appearing as an urban insertion in the middle of the square, the project engages with the public passing by, providing a break. Through orthogonal shapes and the use of materials such as exposed concrete slabs, black metal, LED profiles and visual communication panels, the space seeks to express the features of the contemporary city, creating an Instagrammable space.
(Eduardo Macarios)
24/38 -
Daniela Lopes Niederauer and Roberta Pfeiffer Jiraschek - The Backyard & Art. The backyard has regained its importance and space: used as a place for fun, rest, meditation and even learning and work, it reappears as a space for coexistence with nature, art and sensory experiences. The open metal structure represents the flexibility of the house and the landscaping creates a composition between art, architecture and landscaping.
(Eduardo Macarios)
25/38 -
Rodolpho Gutierrez - Concierge. The challenge of the CASACOR Paraná Ticket Office is to be an original and functional project at the same time. The Brazilian touch is evident in the colors that cover the walls and floor and in the textures of the coverings. Since Brazil is named after a tree, wood could not be left out of the space and appears here in different pieces of furniture and works of art. The pieces were created specifically for the space.
(Eduardo Macarios)

Juliana Gabardo and Sheila Cunha de Jesus - Boudoir da Mulher. The dressing room reconnects the past with the present, bringing comfort and functionality.

Directed lighting highlights the pieces on display, while openwork wood, indirect lighting and green walls create a fresh and cozy atmosphere for customers and visitors.
(Eduardo Macarios)
32/38 -
Yara Mendes and Ana Claudia Marini - Aroma Store. A fragrance store should transport its visitors to a place of good feelings. The use of marble, wood and pink tones bring elegance and delicacy. The sofa with an organic design invites visitors to move around the store and allows for moments of contemplation. The result is an environment that creates emotion, comfort and also elegantly displays the products for sale.

Arthur Calliari - Gin Bar and Toilette Social. This space was designed for that person who, at the end of their day, enjoys relaxing with a drink or a glass of wine.

Indirect lighting gains strength with dark-toned materials - such as stone countertops and black curtains. The bookshelf in the background creates spots of color.
(Eduardo Macarios)
35/38 -
Bruno Bressan - Living and Bathrooms for Him and Her. Minimalist and timeless, the space offers versatility, functionality and practicality.

(Eduardo Macarios)
36/38 -
Carlos Tietjen - Meeting Point Divisystem. The contemporary setting brings back a comfortable atmosphere for occasional meetings, highlighting the use of technological coverings – a unique point for defining the space in terms of visual and acoustic perception.

(Eduardo Macarios)
37/38 -
Christian Schonhofen and Richard Schonhofen - Living Pormade. A place for long conversations, the living room is the stage for important events in a family's life.

(Eduardo Macarios)
38/38 -
Claudia Pimentel Bueno and Raísa Bueno Ribeiro - Gourmet Raízes EVVIVA.

Affective memories
Architect Juliana Gabardo , who debuts this year at CASACOR as one of those responsible for the Boudoir da Mulher project, says that, in 2008, she started practicing bodybuilding and swimming, an activity that she had the company of her daughter, at the time she started triathlon practice. “I was struck by the large mezzanine area overlooking the pools right after the entrance. There, I used to watch my daughter’s classes and observe the children’s water aerobics classes,” he recalls. Architect Ary Alberto Jacobs , from Studio Architetonika Nomad, one of the people responsible for creating the Loft with Balcony , frequented the sports center between 1997 and 1998 and remembers it being a bright place, with large pools and lots of space. “Everything is very spacious and when you look from the street, the size of the property is deceiving. Once inside, it reveals itself in many spacious rooms”, he explains.
Current and future trends
Architectural trends are dictating a comfortable and practical path to be followed in Brazilian homes and even in the workplace. All projects seek harmony between comfort and contemporaneity in order to create ideal spaces for rest, disconnection with the world and physical and mental health.

Visto de cima, as cores no piso criam arte e movimento. (Eduardo Macarios/CASACOR)
1) Earth and green: many professionals opt for neutral and earthy tones to avoid overloading the space, as well as lots of wood and cozy furniture that mixes with pieces of emotional memory. Green is also present in nature. that invaded homes to bring the necessary tranquility to everyday life. 2) Light, colors and textures: cheerful colors and textures were not left out! They were the choice of architects and interior designers to encourage the rediscovery of the sensations that only a true home can provide. Just like natural light, which plays an essential role in projects by highlighting spaces and helping to save energy. 3) Enhanced balconies: in the search for multifunctionality in spaces, balconies have become an option for leisure and relaxation. In the exhibition, professionals invested in these spaces using sustainable elements, different layouts and integration with other environments and with nature. 4) Work from home: working from home has become the new dream for Brazilians. Multipurpose and more private rooms are part of the projects presented, with more structured, private, spacious, decorated, well-lit versions, ready to carry out hours of professional activities.
Larissa Gomes - Estar Íntimo. Este é um ambiente pensado para todos os membros da família e traz diversas possibilidades num único espaço: home theater, brinquedoteca e cantinho para leitura. O elemento vazado permite a setorização do local, sem prejudicar a interação no convívio familiar. Além de funcional, o projeto chama atenção pela estética contemporânea, marcada por linhas retas, tons neutros e mix de texturas. (Eduardo Macarios/CASACOR)
