01/59 - Marina Linhares - A new way in the same way. Twenty years after her debut at CASACOR, Marina Linhares decided to celebrate her tenth participation in the show by planning a space for socializing and entertainment -- a bar and a games corner are part of the 76 m² living room. Winter colors, between olive green and burnt pink, contribute to the intimate atmosphere and highlight the noble texture of the leather. Furniture designed by the professional shares space with big names in national design, such as Alfio Lisi, Claudia Moreira Salles, Jean Gillon, Jorge Zalszupin, in an eclectic and elegant mix. (Salvador Cordaro)

02/59 - Catê Poli and João Jadão - Praça Paulista Augusta. Providing a place where CASACOR visitors can rest along the route is a premise taken seriously in the projects by Catê Poli and João Jadão — the landscapers repeat their partnership in the exhibition for the fourth time. In this edition, there was a bonus: the privileged view of the corner of Avenida Paulista and Rua Augusta. “It’s the point where the sun sets in winter. Therefore, we try to keep the windows free”, says Catê. The furniture invites contemplation and is surrounded by species that adapt to indoor conditions and potted planting, such as guaimbê, adam's rib, zamioculca and ciclanto. (Renato Navarro)

03/59 - Marcelo Salum - Casa Coral. The professional reveres the work of Attilio Baschera and Gregorio Kramer, designers who revolutionized textile production in Brazil in the 1970s. "They created fabric prints inspired by our culture, roots and, above all, nature," says Marcelo Salum. The couple's collection, including drawings and a piano, contains the space's most valuable items. The space also features furniture designed by Brazilian designers and two sculptures by artist Juliano Aguiar, inspired by the honorees. A colorful palette completes the vibrant décor. (Denilson Machado)

04/59 - Todos Arquitetura - Casa Eté Duratex. The project by the office led by Maurício Arruda celebrates the reunion after years of sadness and silence. "It's about facing the truth, diversity, courage, color, informality and the roots of our beautiful and welcoming Brazilian identity," says the architect. To create this atmosphere, there are many colors in the rooms. The warmer ones — such as ochre, wine and terracotta — bring life to the social area while the cold palette is present in the bedroom and bathroom. In addition, MDF panels with colorful patterns and wooden slats complete the cozy atmosphere. (Salvador Cordaro)

05/59 - Tufi Mousse Arquitetura - Studio Alfi. Life can be heavy, but it is sustained with lightness - this analogy defines the design of the Alfi table, created by Tufi Mousse and which served as inspiration for the development of the 50 m² space, designed by the professional and his team. The island counter and the functional kitchen tower are worth a closer look, as are the works of art, which include a silkscreen by Alfredo Volpi and a canvas by the Danish artist based in Brazil, Mai-Britt Wolthers. This is the third participation of the Santa Catarina-based office, which is headquartered in Joinville and has a division in São Paulo. (Denilson Machado)

06/59 - Alexandre Gedeon and Hugo Schwartz - Raízes. The duo behind Intown Arquitetura brings to this year's show some of their experience in creating temporary housing, a market that has seen exponential growth during the pandemic due to the search for isolation. Elements that provide comfort and tranquility are essential in projects like this, hence the use of colors linked to nature, including pastel and earthy tones, and organic shapes, such as the slatted panel in the bedroom. To create the homey atmosphere, works of art are essential. Names such as Jorge Mayet, José Damasceno and Mano Penalva are part of the collection of the 95 m² loft. (Denilson Machado)

07/59 - Otto Felix - LG House. Walls built with glass bricks and vintage furniture are among the elements that Otto Felix selected to pay homage to the modernist heritage of the 1950s in his 415 m² space. In contrast, innovation is evident in the state-of-the-art appliances that fill each of the rooms in LG House. Highlights include the dining table by Jean Gillon and the large sofa in the living room, created by the architect especially for his third participation in CASACOR. (Denilson Machado)

08/59 - Ricardo Abreu - Restaurante 00:00. Organic lines and lots of greenery stand out in this restaurant, located on the terrace of Conjunto Nacional, which incorporates the concept of biophilic design. "The environment encourages us to look with aesthetic interest at forgotten and abandoned spaces in large urban centers," says architect Ricardo Abreu. In all, there are 25 islands invaded by marantas, dracaenas, grasses, lambaris and other species of herbaceous plants, foliage and shrubs. In addition to nature, signature design is also present, with pieces created by names such as Samuel Gerber, André Grippi and Murilo Weitz. (Renato Navarro)

09/59 - Lucas Takaoka - Casa Cosentino Embaúba. The name Embaúba comes from a native Brazilian tree common in regions that have suffered deforestation. Due to its rapid growth, the species helps the entire biome. "This house represents the redefinition of life. The definition of new priorities, such as the search for environments embraced by vegetation", explains architect Lucas Takaoka. According to the professional, just as the forest seeks to rebalance itself, human beings can learn to take better care of themselves. In terms of furniture, the highlights are pieces designed by the architect's office, such as the dining table and chairs, the pendant light, the armchairs and the sofa. (Gabriela Daltro)

10/59 - Patrícia Hagobian - Casa Vértice Dunelli. With the aim of creating a place that favors conviviality, architect Patricia Hagobian invested in the convergence of activities. "The project is dynamic, designed to welcome friends, family and have work meetings, encouraging interaction between residents", he explains. In the heart of the house, a multifunctional living room was furnished with new products from Dunelli. Earthy, reddish and almond tones complete the decor and create a cozy atmosphere. The space still seeks to dialogue with the architecture of the building. After all, the Conjunto Nacional is also a stage for meetings. (Gabriela Daltro)

11/59 - Caio Bandeira and Tiago Martins - Lounge Universo Singular. The freedom to live without filters, in a place that invigorates energy daily, led the duo to lead Architects + Co. In the 68 m² space, the different surface textures, the light palette and soft lighting emerge as a set of sensory triggers, reinforced by the lush landscaping. Furniture with organic shapes and works of art by Iuri Sarmento bring visual comfort. Also note the mix of granite patches on the floor. It is Caio and Tiago's fourth participation in CASACOR - the first two took place in Bahia; the third, in São Paulo. (Renato Navarro)

12/59 - Léo Shehtman – Light and Shadow. Having participated in CASACOR for 34 years, Léo Shehtman created an 80 m² space, which takes advantage of the play of light and shadow in architecture. "This feature further enhances the natural beauty of the materials I chose and brings lightness to the lighter and darker items", he explains. As a highlight of the project, the architect cites panda marble, which displays very visible natural veins and makes up the decoration in black and white. "Marbles are true works of art from nature", he concludes. (Denilson Machado)

13/59 - Juarez Cruz - 22#ZERO1. Not too much, not too little, but enough: the meaning of the Swedish word 'lagom', with no precise translation into Portuguese, gave direction to the 60 m² project by architect Juarez Cruz in his first participation in the São Paulo edition of CASACOR - he has already been in five other shows in Rio Grande do Sul. “In the face of all the daily hustle and bustle, lagom is a welcome relief. In this philosophy, well-being should not come from material things but from a state of mind”, he explains. The concept appears in the environment with oak flooring, furniture by Guilherme Wentz and works by Eduardo Haesbaert, Hugo França and Túlio Pinto. (Denilson Machado)

14/59 - Gustavo Martins - Loft UM. "Exposed pillars and slabs enhance the building's original elements and reinforce the urban identity of the 67 m² space designed by Gustavo Martins, who is participating in CASACOR for the fifth time. Furniture by designers Thiago Curioni and Roberta Baqueri attracts the eye, as does the hydraulic tile floor installed next to the basalt stone wall. The desire to awaken feelings of belonging and protection are put into practice through the connection between art and technology." (Renato Navarro)

15/59 - Gustavo Paschoalim and Frederico Cançado - Tropical Restaurant. To create the restaurant, architect Gustavo Paschoalim and landscaper Frederico Cançado began by designing the garden. "Our idea was to bring greenery inside and provide an opportunity to enjoy nature at all times," says Gustavo. Inside, straight and curved lines blend together to welcome guests into a calming atmosphere. The palette combines gold and green, in reference to landscaping, and the furniture pays homage to Brazilian design from the 1960s and 70s. (Salvador Cordaro)

16/59 - João Daniel Arquitetura - Bookstore. When faced with books, a particular infinity opens up, the motto of CASACOR this year. In his second participation, architect João Daniel invented, for the 68 m² of the space, shelves that transform into porticos and bring the cozy atmosphere that only libraries can offer. The solution of keeping the ribbed slab of the listed building visible brings contrast to the project. Installed on the frames, the diptych by photographer Daniel Mansur transforms the unusual place into an eye-catcher. (Renato Navarro)

17/59 - Mônica Costa Landscaping - Jardim dos Guaimbês. A 600 m² garden of pots spreads out with lush tropical foliage of varying textures and tones. Guaimbês, ravenalas, ondulatas and native palm trees are among the species chosen by Mônica Costa to compose the space. "The idea was to create a pleasant sensation of being surrounded by nature for those who pass by the walkway connecting the living rooms", she says. In order to ensure a lush garden throughout the exhibition period, the landscaper chose plants suited to the lighting conditions of Conjunto Nacional. (Gabriela Daltro)

18/59 - Beatriz Quinelato - Mirror of the Soul. Porticos inspired by the design of the windows in the residential area of Conjunto Nacional are the main constructive element of Beatriz Quinelato's space and reflect the desire to take a poetic look at life inside the building. Elements of the environment bring emotional memory, such as the 20 x 20 cm tiles with a print based on shapes from nature. The theme of Infinito Particular was evoked in the artistic interventions, such as the tapestry by Alex Rocca and Quadro Avesso, created by Beatriz Quinelato Design. The bed and rug also bear the architect's signature. (Renato Navarro)

19/59 - Murilo Lomas Arquitetura - Living Art. "Refuge and individuality are words that reveal Murilo Lomas' intention when designing his 120 m² loft. The environment brings a proposal for renewing the collection of works of art throughout the exhibition. Among the names chosen to decorate the space with an atmosphere of gallery, Janaina Tschäpe, Nuno Ramos and Franz Ackermann stand out. In terms of furniture, the work of great Brazilian designers speaks loudly in the voices of Oscar Niemeyer, Lina Bo Bardi, Lucas Recchia and Victor Leite, on a base that has oak flooring. in chevron pagination next to countertops with exotic ornamental rocks." (Salvador Cordaro)

20/59 - Ana Weege - Boreal Studio. Influences from the architecture of grand palaces, filtered through the professional's repertoire, make up the space of Ana Weege in her second participation in the show. Inspired by Versailles, the layout of the wooden floor resembles a jigsaw puzzle. Pieces designed by the architect, such as the dining table and the dresser with ceramic-covered drawers, join the original sofa by Percival Lafer. The name of the project refers to the profusion of colors of the polar aurora and also to the work Boreal, by Sergio Lucena, which summarizes the atmosphere of the space. (Gabriela Daltro)

21/59 - Plantar Ideias - Sol:.ar. Partners Luciana Pitombo and Felipe Stracci are the designers of the large 280 m² square that connects seven distinct areas of the exhibition with a lot of tropicality. The influence of Burle Marx can be seen in the duo's work in the selection of native species from the Atlantic Forest, in the textures of the floors and in the organic design of the stands that will welcome the visiting public. A closer look also captures references to Lygia Clark's Animals in this sixth participation of the office in CASACOR. Many of the coverings used are waste from industrial processes and are part of modular elements that will be reused at the end of the exhibition. (Salvador Cordaro)

22/59 - Pedro Luiz de Marqui - THEBAR.COM + CARACOL. Concepts such as distortion, brutality, mirage and vibration guide the project signed by architect Pedro Luiz de Marqui. "The idea is to provoke a sensation of movement. To achieve this, I sought to work with playful and attractive elements", he says. In the bar area, the table designed by the professional captures the eye - the piece was carved from granite and a watercourse runs through it that leads into a tub. Dark green, gray, pink and purple make up the palette, which also has touches of metallics to bring a futuristic atmosphere. (Renato Navarro)

23/59 - Sig Bergamin - Artsy Lounge. "Exotic stones arranged on the floor in an unconventional layout welcome visitors to the 80 m² living room designed by Sig Bergamin. Another architectural solution that is seductive to look at is the wooden panel that lets light and color leak into the rest of the space. Very special shades of orange and blue fill the palette and create contrast with the ironwood pattern present in the carpentry. "It is always a pleasure to participate in CASACOR. In such an iconic place as Conjunto Nacional, I believe that more people will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition. We are democratizing access", says the architect. (Romulo Fialdini)

24/59 - Studio HA - Prose and Poetry. The eye wanders around the space and finds natural materials everywhere, including certified wood, clay and straw, which bring the Brazilian soul to the decor. The colors follow the same theme, with a soft, almost monochromatic palette, in which earthy tones stand out. A pink hue colors the ceramic mural art, which completes the space. "Ensuring an atmosphere of well-being was the project's greatest challenge", says Flavia Burin, who leads Studio HA. With this delightful atmosphere, the professional wanted to highlight Ofner's 70 years and the importance of each person involved in the brand's trajectory. (Renato Navarro)

25/59 - Barbara Dundes Architecture - Bereshí Studio. The name of the 47 m² space created by Barbara Dundes derives from the Hebrew word that begins the first book of the Pentateuch, translated as “in the beginning”. According to the professional, the expression refers both to the return to the essence and to moments of recovery after a trauma. The idea of putting pieces together to create something new is expressed in the floor made of fragments of discarded natural stone. In turn, the box at the back of the space, made of certified tauari, represents a cocoon for introspection, where a skylight lets in light. (Denilson Machado)

26/59 - Weiss Arquitetura - Apê Paulista. More vibrant touches of blue, ochre and red run over the neutral base, which ranges from grey to black, in the palette chosen by partners Barbara Garcia de Carvalho and Tide Junqueira for the 37 m² studio. In search of a real-life atmosphere, the duo chose cozy furniture that fulfills its function well, yet is discreet. The idea is to value the good company of art and to draw attention to the selection of works by Antônio Peticov, Carlos Muniz, Renato Gaiofato, Selma Parreira, Sandro Torres and Sônia Menna Barreto. (Gabriela Daltro)

27/59 - Gregory Copello - Ostuni Studio. Ostuni, in the Puglia region of Italy, is known as the white city. With this inspiration, Gregory Copello created his studio. "The space provides an immersive experience through the mixture of traditional elements, such as brick and wood, classic elements, such as marble, and contemporary elements, such as carbon steel," explains the architect. The professional sought to season the space with the lightness and warmth of the Italian people as a way of evoking the theme of Particular Infinity. (Denilson Machado)

28/59 - WM Arquitetura - Aroma & Arte. All the symbolism associated with flowers since ancient times and involving themes such as love, beauty, perfection, fertility and birth, served as the basis for the project by architects Anete Weber and Rafaella Marques in their second participation in the show. Softness guided the choice of earthy and pink tones and delicate shapes — options in tune with the Mels Brushes aroma portfolio, available in the space. Indulge in the perfumes, but don't forget to notice the ceiling, where an origami work by artist Verônica Jamkojian was placed. (Renato Navarro)

29/59 - Zanardo Landscaping - Hélade Terrace. "The shared life imagined by the Greeks of the ancient world inspired the design of this 140 m² project, located on the restaurant's terrace. The desire to connect stories and celebrate the resumption of meetings created the basis of the garden designed by Luciano Zanardo in his third participation in CASACOR. The trio of fountains and the set of more than 60 Vietnamese vases invite contemplation, as does the calm palette, dominated by tones of white and blue, and the fragrant selection that features Mediterranean rosemary, lavender and olive species." (Renato Navarro)

30/59 - Helô Marques - Carandá. The 72 m² botanical studio, created by architect Helô Marques, was inspired by a phase in her life, at the beginning of the pandemic. “I completely changed my lifestyle and retreated to a farm for six months with my husband and children,” she says. During this experience, she assimilated the simplicity of the countryside and decided to apply the greenhouse concept to her environment to create a look based on telluric elements. Among them, dirt and rough marble on the walls. Demolition wood, foliage, flowers, spices and aromas complete the scene and refer to the ideal of a full life. (Gabriela Daltro)

31/59 - Quintino Facci Arquitetos - Terra Madre Square. "Seen from above, the 220 m² square designed by Quintino Facci displays the segmented infinity symbol, chosen to represent hope and reconstruction. The return to origins illustrates the theme of Terra Madre Square, which has been given a palette that includes neutral tones. The Balaio fireplace and the marble side tables are creations by the firm, which is participating in CASACOR for the second time - the first time was last year, in Ribeirão Preto. Pay attention to the rugs and works of art that fill the space and spark reflections on human virtues." (Renato Navarro)

32/59 - Wesley Lemos - AMORPHOUS Studio. Architect Wesley Lemos debuts at the São Paulo show with a 37 m² studio, designed for a young couple who are passionate about contemporary art, Brazilian design and literature. The furniture mixes old and new, with highlights including pieces by Percival Lafer, Zanini de Zanine and Victor Vasconcelos. According to the professional, the project reflects the dialogue between erudite and popular art-design that characterizes the work of his office, which he defines as a company from Sotero and Sergipe. "We have reached maturity after 23 years of experience," he comments. (Gabriela Daltro)

33/59 - Priscila Cox - Café Modernista. The architecture of Conjunto Nacional inspired Priscila Cox to design her space. "I brought the lines and proportions of the window frames to the façade. From there, they continued to the carpentry and the height of the paintings," explains the architect. The palette is dominated by primary colors from Bauhaus, which influenced modernism, such as blue, red and yellow. Regarding the theme of the exhibition, the professional reveals: "I brought two elements from my own infinity. The first are the paintings by Goca Moreno, a visual artist from Bahia that I really like, and the light table, which is at the entrance and has been with me since college." (Gabriela Daltro)

34/59 - Roberto Migotto - Senses Hall Deca. "São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Manaus and even Miami have already had a chance to see up close the projects that Roberto Migotto has created in his more than 20 participations in CASACOR. This time, he and his team designed a refuge that seeks to convey a sense of calm. Throughout the 530 m² of the space developed for Deca, the sober color palette takes on an Asian feel. The choice of materials ranges freely across the many textures of coverings and partitions -- a sensory stimulus that is part of the visiting experience. Note the fluidity in the changes of levels in the environment and in the curves of some of the furniture." (Denilson Machado)

35/59 - Gabriel Fernandes - Somos. In his debut at the show, architect Gabriel Fernandes created a space that speaks about the collective. "My intention is to give voice to good projects and value our origins and ancestry. To show a synthesis of acquired experiences. That's why the name of the space is Somos", he says. The architecture is unexcessive and monochromatic, with beige hydraulic tile cladding and carpentry with curved planks, which acts as a casing. "The slats bring movement, a dance for the eyes and the senses", he adds. (Denilson Machado)

36/59 - Carolina Scarpelli - Espaço Verso. Right at the entrance to the unisex bathroom, the arrangement of mirrors produces the effect of infinite reflections and allows visitors to perceive the space as a whole. Carolina Scarpelli's project, which debuts at CASACOR, also allows users to interact with the images thanks to a screen that transmits information and reacts to stimuli. While using cutting-edge technology, the space references the Greco-Roman style and its idea of triumph through the use of arches. Rounded shapes also appear in the Madame armchair by Ricardo Van Steen. (Renato Navarro)

37/59 - Elaine Vilela de Sousa - Ilha de Conforto Golden Hour. "The desire to be with friends and take advantage of this moment to recharge one's batteries are the foundations that Elaine Vilela de Sousa used to design the 65 m² space that marks her second participation in CASACOR. Golden tones, delicate lighting and photographs by Melo Bastos punctuate the resting space, which also aims to be a stage for new connections. The care with sustainability deserves attention through the use of coverings with certification of origin and their possible reuse at the end of the show." (Renato Navarro)

38/59 - Karol Suguikawa - I'MPRESS IMPRESS LOUNGE. Journalists covering CASACOR São Paulo 2022 have access to a 43 m² lounge, created by designer Karol Suguikawa. The space's ambiance reflects a manifesto that demands a place for trans women in architecture and design. Located right at the entrance to the exhibition, the space features sculptural design pieces and creations that are part of a method conceived by the professional called Vértice, which includes a bookshelf inspired by Teatro Oficina — a work by architect Lina Bo Bardi. (Renato Navarro)

39/59 - Lídia Maciel - Casa Bruma. Behind the curtain, there is a surprise. “We designed an experience in which the space is revealed through mist, a soft fog in the form of an architectural element, clean, light and delicate”. This is how architect Lídia Maciel and her team developed the concept for the 110 m² space, located in front of the walkways of Conjunto Nacional. An original 1950 jacaranda chair, designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli, was treated as a work of art -- and the rest of the paintings and sculptures were selected from creators who are still active in their work. In total, Lídia Maciel's team has participated in fourteen editions of CASACOR, in São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul and Punta del Este. (Denilson Machado)

40/59 - Sabrina Salles Arquitetura | Design - Canto da Tuscany. A bit of history and a bit of modernity come together in the space that Sabrina Salles created for her debut at CASACOR. The tradition of the coffee barons and the cultural heritage of Italian immigrants can be recognized in the 49 m² space through the earthy palette. Works by Alessandro Gruetzmacher, Cris Conde and David José awaken fond memories, as does the strong connection with nature seen in the landscaping. Highlights include the island, the entrance pergola and the floor layout, designed to convey a sense of welcome. (Gabriela Daltro)

41/59 - Metro for Oficina Francisco Brennand - Cerâmica Brennand. "A strong and respectful intervention in the pre-existing space: this idea clearly defines the adaptation of the old factory in Recife, converted into a studio-museum for the works of Francisco Brennand. It also reflects the delicate work done by the Metro Arquitetos office in creating the 42 m² commercial space that will show the public the universe of the ceramic artist. The preservation of his memory will also be celebrated with the launch of the website that will allow digital sales of Oficina Francisco Brennand, with 100% of the profits going to the educational programming and sustainability of the museum." (Renato Navarro)

42/59 - Joe Filho Architects - Baño Tulum. Newcomers at CASACOR, architects Joe Filho and Talitha Cassettari were inspired by a trip to Tulum, Mexico, to create a cozy bathroom. Natural coverings, pieces with a handcrafted touch and neutral colors bring to mind the tranquility of the place. Furthermore, they help provide a sensorial experience for visitors. "The space is immersed in ambient sound, with music and sound effects from the Mexican coast", says Joe. By incorporating a personal reference into the decoration, the professionals inserted the environment into the Private Infinity theme. (Renato Navarro)

43/59 - Mauro Contesini - Ponto Particular. Inspired by the concept of Infinito Particular, landscaper and agricultural engineer Mauro Contesini created a space full of nature, designed for visitors to relax and contemplate. The focus of attention in the project is the painting by visual artist and photographer João Di Souza, which represents life and brings an explosion of colors. "The intimate atmosphere of the space allows us to pause and reflect on our time," adds the professional. (Renato Navarro)

44/59 - Fernanda Rubatino Arquitetura - Nescafé Gold Experience. The mountains of Minas Gerais, a region that is part of the history of coffee in Brazil, inspired architect Fernanda Rubatino in the creation of the space. Curved lines are everywhere in the space, where the bean is the protagonist. "For the decoration, I chose works of art and comfortable armchairs so that visitors can enjoy the moment while tasting the drink prepared by the baristas", she says. Warm colors complete the look and create a cozy atmosphere. An interesting detail: the tubes that show the different roasts of the coffee were superimposed on the linen wallpaper, which resembles the texture of the bags used to store the bean. (Renato Navarro)

45/59 - Rosa May Sampaio - Living the Infinite. Interior designer Rosa May Sampaio proposes having many possibilities within the same space for her 80 m2 space. "The idea was to integrate everything in the living room: living and dining area, office, library, bar and fireplace", she says. Among the highlights of the furniture are the sofa designed by the Danish Morten Georgsen and the coffee table designed by Jacqueline Terpins. In the art collection, the works of Venezuelan José Antônio Hernandes Diez, photographs by Janaina Tschäpe and Lucas Lenci and contemporary tapestry by Frenchman Jean Lurçat stand out. (Renato Navarro)

46/59 - Larissa Abreu - Ótica Caleidoscópica. "Utility and beauty go hand in hand in the project that Larissa Abreu conceived for the optics store -- five hundred pairs of glasses are on display and there is room for another thousand units stored in the 50 m² space. The simplicity is very well represented by the hydraulic tiles and the green landscaping, made with preserved plants. Ceramic pieces by Cida Lima, displayed in the window, focus on Brazilianness. Backlit fluted glass and a palette of white, gray and black make the setting even more attractive." (Renato Navarro)

47/59 - Pedro Paulo Franco. Contemplation (at Time). Rebuilding the future by valuing the marks of the past is the philosophy embedded in the oriental technique of kintsugi and also in the 100 m² project that Pedro Franco developed for his debut at CASACOR. The reflection on time appears in different ways, with emphasis on the sculpture by artist Jeff Koltro, which takes on new contours from different points in the environment, and the neon sign with the impact phrase. The designer also created the ceramics for the floor and the sinuous Underconstruction sofa, a single piece measuring 8 m in length. (Salvador Cordaro)

48/59 - Guto Andrade Arquitetura - BALUWÉ EXU O'NAN. The African deity leads visitors to one of the first spaces in the exhibition, close to the entrance. There are 23 m² dedicated to Exu's bathroom. In his first participation in CASACOR, Guto Andrade celebrates religious diversity by making reference to the African kingdoms of yesteryear - it starts with the palette that ranges between black and red and continues to the slate covering, a stone widely used as a floor in Candomblé and Umbanda temples. “I wanted to bring this symbolism to one of the largest architecture and design exhibitions in the world in order to declare the relevance of the subject and defend the search for respect for what is different”, reveals the architect. (Renato Navarro)

49/59 - Under the Block - Galeria Nova Modernista. "Reception or art gallery? The question remains in the air when faced with the treasure trove that Clay Rodrigues brings to the 100 m² space in his first participation in the São Paulo show, third in total, since the architect has already designed spaces in Brasília editions. White and red color the palette, flirting with works by Lina Bo Bardi. Note the set of armchairs by Oscar Niemeyer, the sideboard by Giuseppe Scapinelli, the cart by Carlo Hauner and the paintings and sculptures by Daisy Xavier, Francisco Galeno, Roland Gebhardt and Viviane Rosa, brought together in homage to the centenary of the 1922 Art Week. (Gabriela Daltro)

50/59 - Carlos Navero Arquitetura - Galeria Pirajuí. Imagine being in a swimming pool: this is the intention of Carlos Navero's project for the art gallery of the exhibition. Through the use of blue tiles in the format 5 x 5 cm, in columns, support benches and floor, the professional creates the desired sensation, achieves visual uniformity and refers to the architecture of Artacho Jurado, also remembered in the shades of pink present in the environment. The space finds in collecting its way of approaching the theme of Particular Infinity. Powerful, the set of works includes a kinetic sculpture by Abraham Palatinik composed of 120 pieces. (Renato Navarro)

51/59 - Vilaville Arquitetura - Zahir Bathroom. The bathroom designed by architects Fabiana Villegas and Gabriela Vilarrubia is based on the shapes of nature and onyx stone. "We used only two types of coverings — water-based paint and porcelain — to standardize the space and ensure a timeless look," explains Fabiana. The duo's idea is for visitors to be able to relax, sit down and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of the space during their visit. To this end, they designed an organically shaped pouf. "The rug, also created for the exhibition, features a zigzag pattern, which brings movement to the décor," concludes Gabriela. (Gabriela Daltro)

52/59 - Edgar Rochell + Janaina Casagrande - Studio 09. The architect duo Edgar Rochell and Janaina Casagrande sought inspiration from São Paulo's nightlife to create a studio with shades of gray. "The palette floats in these nuances and brings a fun touch with specific colors in the objects and works of art," says Edgar. With a dramatic atmosphere, the space provides a feeling of coziness through textures on the sofa, armchair and bed, in addition to indirect lighting. Highlights include the golden brass chandelier by Ralph Lauren, which focuses on the artwork by José Leonilson. (Renato Navarro)

53/59 - Gabriela Mendes - Casa das Joias. "By combining curved walls with the crystal chandelier - created and assembled by her team - and a color palette focused on beige, architect Gabriela Mendes created a noble space for the 40 m² jewelry store in the exhibition. The marble table white and the acrylic displays also carry the design of the office, which is participating in CASACOR for the second time, created in architecture down to the small details of the jewelry on display”, says Gabriela. (Renato Navarro)

54/59 - Samuel Angelo - CASACOR by Hybrida store. The store's style is defined as bare and raw by Samuel Angelo. "The space highlights the shapes and soul of the original Conjunto Nacional project while contrasting with cozy elements," says the architect. An example of this is the adobe reproduced in fine fabrics, which make up an installation in homage to handcrafting. Another highlight of the ambiance is the scenography of the Mannequins and Stone set, produced with biodegradable thermoplastic of plant origin — derived from cornstarch. (Salvador Cordaro)

55/59 - Daiane Antinolfi - Restaurant Gallery. Creating the identity of a space that connects environments is always a challenge. In her first CASACOR, Daiane Antinolfi managed to give the path between the restaurants in the exhibition a gallery feel. In the 75 m² area, the circulation area is decorated with wood panels, including on sections of the ceiling, to create a welcoming feeling. Big names in photography fill the walls - Akira Cravo and Juan Esteves among them - until reaching the small lounge that precedes the unisex bathroom. “The idea is to share spaces with more equality and without taboos”, says Daiane. (Renato Navarro)

56/59 - Francisco Cálio - Studio 11. What if the walls didn't reach the ceiling? The 96 m² space designed by Francisco Cálio uses transparency and integration to compose the universe of a couple who loves to welcome family and friends in a relaxed atmosphere. Only glass panels delimit the terrace, favoring the connection between the interior space and the garden. The beige and gold tones color the palette softly, faithfully conveying the identity of the office in its eighteenth edition of CASACOR. (Salvador Cordaro)
