With a total area of 2500 m², CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2024 opens its doors this Tuesday, August 20, presenting the theme “ As a gift, the now ”. The exhibition proposes, through architecture and decoration, a reflection on time in 31 projects. Check out the environments below!
Oscar Barcellos - Date Palm Path

01/31 - Oscar Barcellos - Caminho das Tamareiras. How to develop a landscape project that matches an architectural icon, like the property that receives CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2024? The solution found to integrate the 250 m² facade was a diverse composition between volumes and heights. “I used tropical plants with different textures and shades of green, with touches of other colors as well,” says landscaper Oscar Barcellos, who debuts this year at CASACOR. The stars are sculptural plants, such as date palms and mango jasmines. They are what create the shadows and contrasts of the project, which also features pleomels, brassaias, philodendrons and palm trees. (Carolina Mossin)

Guilherme Nalini - Young Couple's Suite

02/31 - Guilherme Nalini - Young Couple's Suite. An elegant and affectionate atmosphere surrounds Guilherme Nalini's suite. The connection with art impacts the visitor, who experiences an interesting sensory experience through contact with linen and sisal. The use of fiber warms and welcomes, effects also caused by the preserved wooden floor of the original construction. “I was inspired by hotel suites I've stayed in. Places with personality, where I didn't even feel like leaving the room,” he says. Here, personality appears in elements designed by the architect himself, such as the bar shelf and the headboard. “It's a suite with simple solutions, without leaving sophistication aside,” he adds.

Engineering Atrium - Unique Space

03/31 - Engineering Atrium - Unique Space. “Let go of the obvious” is the brand that Marcelo Lima and Vinícius Silva imprint on the CASACOR men’s bathroom. To achieve this, they followed two approaches: a project that moves away from the idea of a basic bathroom, with few elements, and a space 100% designed by engineers, which seeks to immerse the visitor in this universe. “The inspiration came from our daily lives, representing the importance of each stage in the design of a building”, they say. In this sense, the raw wall, the stones and the concrete are fundamental components. On the floor, the terracotta tone is a reference to the dirt floor, the principle of any project. (Keniche Santos)

FC Architecture and Design Studio - Women's Bathroom

04/31 - FC Arquitetura e Design Studio - Women's Bathroom. Transforming a residential bathroom into an urban spa. A versatile space, a place for self-care and well-being. This was the concept behind the project, which balances design, aesthetics and functionality. The inspiration comes from the lifestyle of contemporary women, who, despite their busy routines, do not compromise on quality of life. The composition offers different scenarios, varying the lighting, mixing natural and noble materials, displaying colors in neutral and welcoming tones, as well as textures that are pleasant to the touch. “Compact and multifunctional, it is an environment that allows for moments of pleasure, relaxation, introspection and vanity,” says the office. (Keniche Santos)

Laiane Matta and Leticia Barbosa - Ser Singular Rara

05/31 - Laiane Matta and Leticia Barbosa - Ser Singular: Rara. The professionals explore the contemporary essence of women, highlighting their ability to face everyday life. “The intention is to show the natural strength of the feminine universe, which allows women to be who they want to be, always maintaining their sweetness and delicacy”. Among the elements that represent this legacy are timeless natural stone, exotic quartzite and wood, which convey comfort – a mix that gives the space, at the same time, strength and affection. “We capture the heart of this resilient and adaptable feminine journey, and recognize women as a complete paradox, beautiful, rare and exceptional”, they explain. (Carolina Mossin)

Laiane Matta and Leticia Barbosa - Essential Self-Connection

06/31 - Laiane Matta and Leticia Barbosa - Essential Self-Connection. The velvety texture, the beauty of the stone, the freshness of the plants. Everything conspires to make this bathroom a space for relaxation and introspection. The walls refer to the organic forms of nature, causing fluidity and welcoming. “It’s an invitation for women to take care of themselves and reconnect with themselves,” explains the duo. The bench is a work of art that invites contemplation, and biophilia appears not only as an aesthetic option, but also a therapeutic one. The green of the leaves contrasts, in balance, with the solidity of the stone. “This stone is like the woman herself: resilient and full of personality. Every curve, every imperfection tells a story.” (Carolina Mossin)

Chrigor Godoy - Living Eternal Instant

07/31 - Chrigor Godoy - Living Eterno Instante. Chrigor Godoy celebrates Brazilian architecture and design, the work of artisans and the culture of handmade work. Everything has a story, from the sheets of cumaru, a tree native to the Amazon, to the sisal from the interior of Minas Gerais. These are objects of affection, souvenirs from travels, items that are passed down from generation to generation – a careful curation complemented by colors and textures that reflect the architect's search for a space suitable for moments of pause and renewal. “I sought to incorporate elements that carry stories. It is an environment that reflects the sweetness of lived stories, but also the power of living in the present.” (Keniche Santos)

Matheus Vilela - Dining Room - Casa Grená

08/31 - Matheus Vilela - Dining Room - Casa Grená. The room pays homage to the fertile soil of Ribeirão Preto, known as "red land". The reference is clear in the color palette, but Matheus Vilela went further. The checkered pattern represents coffee, a crop that boosted the region's economy. To symbolize the prosperity of agriculture, the choice was made for antique pieces, works by regional artists and designer furniture. Between classic and contemporary, and with a balanced mix of prints, textures and pieces from different eras, the space displays its identity. "Everything to express the need for 'now'. To feel good at home, inside the largest house that feels like home." (Carolina Mossin)

Mariana Oliveira - Olive Tree Kitchen

09/31 - Mariana Oliveira - Cozinha das Oliveiras. With the simplicity of clean lines, the choice of luxurious materials and the mix between rustic and modern, Mariana Oliveira creates a unique kitchen. The inspiration came from Portugal. "I was fascinated by olive trees and brought the idea to the project, where each element refers to this magnificent tree”, she says. Thus, the trunk is represented by the wood of the furniture and finishes, and the leaves are translated into quartzite, transmitting vitality and freshness “Olive oil is symbolized by the very function of the kitchen, the heart of the home”, he explains. (Carolina Mossin)

Ingrid Brioni and Juliana Ultado - Studio Savoya

10/31 - Ingrid Brioni and Juliana Ultado - Studio Savoya. The professionals found inspiration for the project in their own daily routine. It was from this that the concepts for this coworking space emerged, balancing comfort and functionality. More than a classic office desk, everyday life calls for a shared workstation. The dynamic also calls for an open space, where professionals can walk around with their cell phones or tablets in hand – a place suitable for moments of relaxation. Among the highlights are the integration of spaces and the color scheme that combines green, blue and terracotta. (Carolina Mossin)

Victoria Santoro - This is not a toilet - Espaço Arter - Lavabos CASACOR

11/31 - Victoria Santoro - Ceci n'est pas une toilette - Espaço Arter - Lavabos CASACOR. CASACOR's two functional bathrooms bear Victoria Santoro's signature, but transport them to very different universes. In the largest of them, the visitor is enveloped by colors and textures that intertwine in an asymmetrical way, and each element invites a unique and poetic sensory experience. In the other, the atmosphere is one of mystery and sophistication. The lighting creates a play of shadows with soft light, accentuating the charm of the space. The ceiling, in a red tone identical to that of the painting with tigers that adorns it, displays a vibrant contrast. And the velvet on the walls adds a luxurious texture, in total harmony with the theme. (Keniche Santos)

Ricardo Dorascenzi - Reception - Ticket Office

12/31 - Ricardo Dorascenzi - Reception/Ticket Office. Ricardo Dorascenzi opens the doors of CASACOR to visitors with ease and authenticity. A contemporary environment that displays simple shapes and a balanced mix of textures, in which stone and concrete appear. The welcoming feeling comes from the earthy tones, the prominence of wood and the garden that gives more life to the space. The minimalist lighting highlights elements in a specific way and produces subtle contrasts, reinforcing sophistication. The space is integrated with art through a tensioned screen that highlights images printed on fabric, works by photographer Ana Isméria. (Keniche Santos)

Flavio Melo and Ruben Rivitti - Espace Urben

13/31 - Flavio Melo and Ruben Rivitti - Espaço Urben. An urban environment that allows a breather from the city's fast-paced routine. The professionals' priority was to use recyclable materials, integrating them with other sustainable solutions. The main element is ecological wood, made with industrial scraps and organic waste. Among the designer furniture, the stars are the Libre bench and the table with built-in refrigerator, which guarantees a cold drink during moments of relaxation. "The choice of recyclable materials and the incorporation of local vegetation reduce the environmental impact and provide a healthier and more balanced environment, also promoting quality of life", they say. (Keniche Santos)

Bruno Ortega - Deca Balance

14/31 - Bruno Ortega - Equilíbrio Deca. The space brings the warmth of a rain shower as an experience. When watching the water falling through the glass panels, the visitor feels a comforting connection with nature. For the professional, “the integration of natural elements in architecture is essential to offer refuge in the midst of modern life”. This integration also appears in the use of stone, which brings rusticity. As counterpoints, marble and dark wood provide elegance and contemporaneity. With soft lighting, the space also highlights Deca ceramics and metals, exploring exclusive colors and new releases such as the Wave faucet. (Carolina Mossin)

Laura Tomio - Café Stories - By Cookie Stories

15/31 - Laura Tomio - Café Stories - By Cookie Stories. Laura Tomio invites visitors to have a coffee. A break to live in the present, with special encounters and the sharing of stories. The premise is the theme of CASACOR 2024, “As a gift, the now”. Under the command of Café Cookie Stories, in Ribeirão Preto, the place aims to encourage people to disconnect from everyday life and connect with each other. The carpentry is the protagonist, both in the cabinets and in the panels – one of them is a mosaic inspired by cave art, designed by the architect herself. The central pillar gives more life to the space through the colors of the visual artist Nini Gracia. (Keniche Santos)

Rafael Granero - Between Encounters by Necta

16/31 - Rafael Granero - Entre Encontros by Necta. Rafael Granero puts his flexibility and pragmatism into practice to present a multifaceted environment. The versatility of the layout is the main concept of the space, with solutions that allow for different types of use according to the necessary dynamics and the demands of the users. In this spacious and at the same time welcoming space, created to establish connections, the atmosphere is minimalist – which can be seen in the lighting, landscaping, textures and coverings. Also in the decoration, the architect reinforces the personality of the project with pieces designed by Índio da Costa, Oskar Metsavaht and Isay Weinfeld. (Keniche Santos)

Mariane Siqueira - Vista Arauco Restaurant - By Latulia

17/31 - Mariane Siqueira - Restaurante Vista Arauco - By Latulia. Mariane Siqueira's goal at the beginning of the project was to preserve the view of the city skyline. While preserving the existing architecture, she also chose to keep the stones and concrete. "The idea was to transform the space without losing its essence, its emotional memories." To achieve this transformation, the architect invested in modern elements, such as metal structures. The space's identity is evident in solutions such as the design of the ceiling and the use of black, metallic gold and terracotta tones. The Latulia restaurant, a reference among restaurants that serve prime cuts of meat in the city, is operating this restaurant. (Keniche Santos)

Bruno Castanhari - Automundi Experience Senses

18/31 - Bruno Castanhari - Automundi Experience Senses. Bruno Castanhari sought inspiration for the space in Ancient Greece. “Plato used the metaphor of the cave to illustrate a world of false perceptions of reality. The exit from the cave symbolizes the search for truth, the world of reason.” In this context, an external structure was created that transports visitors to the time of the caves, “to connect them to their primitive instincts.” Upon entering, however, they are taken directly to the future, where technology and innovation dominate and explore the senses. “We demonstrate the potential of technology in the present with an immersive and transformative experience in the now,” he explains. (Keniche Santos)

Fabiano Taleb - Biker's Tiny House

19/31 - Fabiano Taleb - Motorcyclist's Tiny House. Do you know what tiny houses are? Loosely translated, “tiny houses” are proposals for compact and minimalist housing, constructions made according to the lifestyle of their inhabitants. They are customized spaces, like the environment that Fabiano Taleb created for his debut at CASACOR. Modern and functional, the project was designed for the day-to-day life of a couple and inspired by the motorcyclist lifestyle. With a focus on this universe, the architect used dark tones and resistant materials, which express strength. “Exploring materials and even furniture that are already known with different proposals, we create opportunities for new perspectives”, he says. (Keniche Santos)

Bete Said and Victor Poiani - Bar Ilé Omi - By Noipê

20/31 - Bete Said and Victor Poiani - Bar Ilé Omi - By Noipê. Encounter and refuge, celebration and contemplation. Created by Victor Poiani and inspired by Afro-Brazilian culture, Umbanda and Candomblé temples, the Ilé Omi bar (House of Waters, in the Yoruba language) pays homage to art tied to the theme and elements of nature. Its 160 m² is full of meaning, including dishes with greetings to the orixás and colors and textures that represent elements used in the temples. Co-author of the project, Bete Said is launching her Nagô collection at the space, which highlights pieces such as Axé chairs and stools and Ilê Ayiê vases. The bar is operated by the popular Noipê restaurant, based in the city. (Carolina Mossin)

Andrea Esteves and Rui Salvino - Sigramar Stone Garden

21/31 - Andrea Esteves and Rui Salvino - Sigramar Stone Garden. When visiting this garden, visitors experience an exclusive sensory journey. Here, Andrea Esteves and Rui Salvino showcase their passion for biophilic projects through the harmonious integration of natural elements into the design of the space. The stones, water and great diversity of plants create a garden that enchants and establishes a deep connection with nature. “The environment was designed to showcase the fascinating process of extracting the stones used in our projects, revealing their shapes and textures. We want to inspire visitors with our vision of sustainable design in harmony with the environment.” (Carolina Mossin)

Angela Dorascenzi, Emerson Araújo and Fernanda Lucca - Cocoon

22/31 - Angela Dorascenzi, Emerson Araújo and Fernanda Lucca - Casulo. Finding a balance between the natural and the built, integrating spaces with the least possible interference, and presenting solutions for those seeking contact with nature as a lifestyle. The hallmark of the project is the off-site method, with modular construction, whose goal is to have little impact on the original environment. Almost 100% of the material is environmentally friendly – which did not leave aside the sophistication present in the selection of finishes. “Casulo is not limited to aesthetics, nor to efficient construction. With low-impact materials and renewable energy technologies, it is a positive contribution to the environment." (Carolina Mossin)

Marina Donato - Entrance Hall - Casing Cube

23/31 - Marina Donato - Entrance hall - Cubo Invólucro. Marina Donato's hall welcomes visitors with elegance and warmth. The discreet lighting and wood, applied continuously, invite a moment of slowing down. To achieve these goals, the professional invests in simplicity and displays an original composition of materials, colors and textures, in addition to careful curation in the choice of furniture and decoration. "My concern was that visitors would feel embraced, and that they would take away a message from there." The word "Essence" is highlighted, establishing a connection with the theme "As a gift, the now", which leads the 2024 exhibition. (Keniche Santos)

Taiza Moiteiro - Maximum Loft

24/31 - Taiza Moiteiro - Máxima Loft. Taiza Moiteiro adopted the unique shapes of the geodesic dome to create this comfortable and functional refuge. The neutral and sober colors welcome guests, as does the lighting design, making the loft perfect for moments of relaxation. Its heart is the gourmet area, with light-colored cabinets, open shelves and state-of-the-art appliances. It is a place to entertain and socialize – both the island and the sofa invite long conversations and memorable meals. The glass panel allows for a panoramic view, conveying the feeling that the interior is an extension of the surrounding natural environment. (Keniche Santos)

Adriana Fontana - Loja Petit Palais

25/31 - Adriana Fontana - Petit Palais Store. Faced with the challenge of creating a store in the small space of a shipping container, Adriana Fontana opted for innovation. The entrance, with circular movements, creates a surprising experience. To achieve this, the interior designer used PVC pipes, precisely hiding the structure. The gradient in pink, brown and beige adds lightness and connects with the store's concept, with classic pieces for sale. The wood is welcoming and the diffuse lighting, created by means of a shading blanket, creatively covers the ceiling. "The idea was to bring elements to the spaces that often offer much more interesting costs to end customers", she says. (Carolina Mossin)

Mariane Rios - Lavatory of Criar Studio

26/31 - Mariane Rios - Estúdio Criar. In this environment focused on creation, Mariane Rios explores art and design with a lot of personality. His home office is conceptual and rich in details, with bright colors. The composition between the extensive white table and its different chairs draws attention, highlighting dynamism and relaxation. As a counterpoint to this space, which indicates movement, there is another more reserved and comfortable space, suggested for informal or intimate work moments. An opening in the ceiling sheds light onto the sculpture with an exclusive design, and the garden appears as an open-air gallery that highlights the Toinoinoin bench, by Jaime Lerner. (Carolina Mossin)

Mariane Rios - Lavatory of Criar Studio

27/31 - Mariane Rios - Lavabo at Estúdio Criar. A space integrated into the Create Studio, also designed by Mariane Rios, the bathroom shows total unity with the main space. The relationship appears in the cut volumes with stainless steel and glass finishes, which follow the concept of home office joinery, and in the work of Mariana Ferrero, with the burnt red tone. The cabinet joins the bench representing a single element, and the bench fits into the curved wall – both in clay tone, but with different textures. The bathroom's connection with nature is reinforced by the piece with dry branches made by a local artisan. (Carolina Mossin)

Manarelli & Guimarães - Living Interlaces

28/31 - Manarelli & Guimarães - Living Entrelaços. Ana Paula Guimarães and Thiago Manarelli's talent for interweaving elements appears prominently and gives rise to the name of the living room. The multiple selection of designers, visual artists and suppliers represents the duo's work well, as does the atmosphere full of colors and warmth and respect for the original architecture. In this mix with 1970s aesthetics, industrial design appears alongside its own creations, such as the Clark sofa and exclusive tiles. “We created a living room with spaces for reading, a coffee, intimate wine and art appreciation.” The vegetation gives life, and the lighting reinforces the charm of the environment. (Carolina Mossin)

Fabiana Dib - Home Office

29/31 - Fabiana Dib - Home Office. Fabiana Dib makes her debut at CASACOR with great sophistication. Tailor-made for a successful agribusiness entrepreneur, the home office displays elegance in the details, such as the decor that highlights golf as the favorite sport. At first glance, the wood paneling and the style of the furniture already make the concept of the space clear. The idea continues in the designer wallpaper and lighting, which combines trends from different eras and styles. (Carolina Mossin)

Fabiana Dib - Home Office Lavatory

30/31 - Fabiana Dib - Home Office toilet. Sophisticated and contemporary, the bathroom reinforces the home office concept, an environment also designed by Fabiana Dib. One of the highlights is the marble that covers the floor, a material reused from the walls of the original construction. Also made of marble and with an exclusive design, the oval countertop is the highlight, complemented by the support basin and the LED-lit mirror. On the walls, wood and straw paper share space, coverings that at the same time provide warmth and elegance. All porcelain and metal are from Deca – the towel, soap and paper holders are from the line designed by designer Jader Almeida. (Carolina Mossin)

SKF Architecture and Interiors - Navona Suite

31/31 - SKF Arquitetura e Interiores - Navona Suite. Timelessness is the hallmark of this suite designed by Thauana Kairala and João Victor Santanna. The main element is marble: the combination of Navona travertine and wood gives sophistication to the project, which also highlights the neutral colors and the play of textures. The caramel leather armchair reinforces the elegant atmosphere, and the edge of the rock headboard, as well as the integrated garden, set the natural tone. “It is part of our personality to suggest timeless elements, using materials that are loved in all eras and cultures. The goal is to present an environment admired by all ages,” they explain. (Carolina Mossin)

Sustainable and technological solutions, art and landscaping are also highlights of the house, composed of traditional spaces such as living rooms, kitchens , bedrooms , bathrooms and home offices, in addition to functional spaces such as the ticket office, entrance hall, store, restaurant, café and bar. Among the new features are an environment dedicated to motorcycle enthusiasts – the motorcyclist's tiny house – and an immersive experience at Automundi Experience, a space that connects the public to their primitive instincts through technology.

“In addition to allowing visitors to be inspired by trends and innovations in the segment, our goal is for the house to also be a space for leisure and connection between people. The exhibition offers access to art, gastronomic options, music and lectures that will be held throughout this period”, says Maurício Siqueira , director of CASACOR Ribeirão Preto. “A mix of perspectives brings together everything from the genius of veteran architects to the boldness and freshness of newcomers, in a mix of concepts and possibilities that impact lovers of beauty,” adds Siqueira.
