Nildo José | NJ+ Arquitetos - Casa Coral Celeiro Alvorada. De um lugar íntimo vem o projeto do arquiteto Nildo José: uma homenagem à memória de seu pai. O verbo selar, ou guardar o que importa, guiou as escolhas, tomando a arquitetura como suporte para o que permanece. No living, uma estante ocupa o pé-direito duplo com livros e fotografias de pai e filho – para alcançar a porção mais alta, há um mezanino, acessível por uma escada helicoidal pintada de roxo. Lembranças da fazenda se expressam na bancada de travertino com figuras rurais esculpidas. Cores terrosas e naturais tingem a área de 213 m², que contém ainda quarto e banheiro.

CASACOR São Paulo 2026 presents an edition that invites the public to slow down and reconnect with what is essential. In its second appearance at Parque da Água Branca, the show proposes an experience deeply connected to nature, well-being, and human relationships, translating the theme Mind and Heart into a journey that integrates architecture, landscaping, design, culture, and affection. With more than 10,000 m² of built area, the event presents 70 projects that blend architecture, landscaping, design, and art, harmoniously integrating houses, studios, lofts, tiny houses, and installations amid the preserved vegetation of the park. Of this route, 40% of the show is open to the public, expanding the integration between CASACOR and the daily life of the park.

Amid the increasingly accelerated presence of artificial intelligence in daily life and the effects caused by information overload, this edition of CASACOR proposes an invitation to the senses: a pause. The theme Mind and Heart reveals the strength of other intelligences — organic, psychic, ancestral — as paths to reconnect us with ourselves, with others, and with the space we inhabit.

Upon arrival, visitors are immediately enveloped by the atmosphere of the edition through the mashrabiya façade developed by José Luiz Favaro and Yuri Matsui Ramos. Like a membrane between the park and the show, the structure outlines the perimeter without completely concealing the interior, preserving transparencies and creating a sensitive transition between two universes. Its organic cutouts filter the light and project shadows that blend with those of the vegetation, inviting the public to slow down and gradually cross over into the CASACOR experience.
The first garden of the edition, designed by Ana Lui and Karen Marini, leads visitors along a path among flowers and foliage to one of the symbols of the show: the ticket booth created by Viviane Teles. Seen from above, its structure forms a great mandala. The project explores what the architect calls organic intelligence, in dialogue with bioarchitecture and experimental bamboo constructions. These two introductory projects set the tone for Mind and Heart, a theme that investigates the purpose of the materials, symbols, and gestures that make up the Latin American home.

Conceived from a seminar held at Sesc Pompeia, with the presence of Teles, Maria Homem, and the indigenous leader Carlos Papa, the theme presents itself as a counterpoint to the modern ideas of the home as a support for progress, efficiency, and the maintenance of a productive life.
Continuing along the route, Pam Faccin's project addresses one of the central issues of heritage: how to preserve a park that, over time, has also incorporated exotic species? The landscaper responds with an investigation of the original biome of the territory, using exclusively Atlantic Forest species and treating landscaping as a form of listening to and acknowledging the place. The large square in front of the historic buildings, created by Maria Fernanda Marques Paisagismo, expands this relationship between architecture, nature, and care. Among centuries-old trees, the project proposes insect hotels — structures designed to attract, protect, and shelter pollinators, such as solitary bees, and beneficial insects, such as ladybugs and lacewings.

The entire outdoor project was executed on a raised floor, preserving the soil and minimizing environmental impacts, while the gardens were implemented in pots. The lighting was also carefully planned to avoid interfering with the local fauna, especially nocturnal animals.

Throughout the route, CASACOR São Paulo 2026 brings together projects that translate the theme Mind and Heart into different scales of experience — from house to garden, from contemplation to encounter. In Building 23, visitors enter the show through a hall featuring an installation by Paulo Azevedo, conceived as a cabin of affective memories and contemplation. Highlights include the Casa Magma Portinari, signed by Suite; the house with a veranda created by Dado and Guilherme Castello Branco for Deca; the projects by Gabriel Fernandes for Simonetto, in tribute to architect and designer Janete Costa; and the spacious house by Nildo José for Coral, in which paints and textures highlight the brand's trends.

The experience continues through projects that explore different ways of living, such as the studios by Felipe Saurin and Studio Costa+Azevedo for Mercado Livre, the loft by Léo Shehtman, the Casa Jacob | Itaú Personnalité by Felipe Carolo, the Carioca bossa loft by PN+ | Paula Neder, and the Casa Brastemp, signed by Marcelo Salum, with a pop atmosphere, red tones, neons and playful references. In the outdoor area between the buildings, highlights include the Refúgio Fleury, created by Estúdio Musgo by Denis Bessa in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Fleury group, and the glass house by Felipe Rossi, which integrates indoor and outdoor areas and lets nature in.

In Building 22, the route begins with the Arena do Conhecimento, signed by Senac-SP + Estudio Guto Requena, in an unprecedented action that brought together students to create a space dedicated to lectures, meetings and debates on innovation, sustainability and technology in architecture. With the support of Lar Center, the program will be open to the public and starts with the Senac Knowledge Week, between June 9 and 12.
The building also brings together projects dedicated to new ways of living, working and coexisting, such as the universal studio by Letícia Nannetti Arquitetura, designed from the perspective of timeless accessibility; the restaurant Mesa Viva, by Marta Martins Arquitetura; the Show Kitchen by Brastemp, by Beatriz Quinelato Arquitetura; and the co-living by Eduardo Baldelomar, from Bolivia, inspired by a historic region of his country, marked by Baroque architecture and Guarani heritage. The CASACOR mall expands the experience with stores and cultural spaces, such as the Gustavo Eyewear store, signed by HM Arquitetura, and the MASP store space, developed by Studio Garoa. In the final stretch of the building, the Café Livraria with Chocolat du Jour and UniSaber, signed by Studio Sitta+Barbo, proposes a space for staying and gatherings.

The route returns to the outdoor areas with projects integrated into the park, such as the tiny house with gym and sauna designed by Carol Barreto Arquitetura for Denza, the bar designed by Aria Studio, the garden by Pedro Rabelais Paisagismo and the last tiny house of the circuit, designed by Volar Interiores. The closing passes through the garden by Alexandre Galhego Paisagismo, which leads the public to Forneria San Paolo, by Stage.AEC, and through the installation by Hugo Ribas, with commissioned works by indigenous artist from Manaus Auá Mendes.

The edition also reinforces the dialogue between art, territory and creative process. In 2026, CASACOR São Paulo commissions works by artists Charles Lessa, from Ceará; Jorge Souza, from Pernambuco; and Carol Ambrósio, from São Paulo, following the production of the works in their regions of origin and expanding the presence of art as a narrative axis of the show. Sustainability and environmental impact
CASACOR São Paulo is currently the only cultural exhibition in Brazil with zero-waste operation. All waste generated by the show is diverted from landfills and reinserted into the production chain or directed to social impact initiatives.
The landscaping of the 2026 edition follows even stricter guidelines to ensure the preservation of the gardens at Parque da Água Branca. There was no interference with the park's trees, which are part of the listed environmental heritage and whose management is carried out exclusively by the concessionaire responsible for the space.

Also following the guidelines of the previous edition, all vegetation used in the show was kept in pots placed on the ground, without direct planting in the beds, allowing its removal after the end of the event. The species chosen follow specific criteria and cannot be toxic to animals nor have thorns.
The lighting of the outdoor areas also followed specific parameters aimed at environmental preservation, designed by Estudio Carlos Fortes. The projects use light with a color temperature of 1,800 K, in a yellowish-red tone, and CRI above 90 — characteristics that reduce impacts on local fauna. Unlike white light, which can be interpreted by animals as sunlight, the lighting adopted by CASACOR seeks to preserve the natural cycles of the wildlife present in the park.
Estúdio Carlos Fortes - Iluminação das fachadas e áreas externas. Ao anoitecer, praças, jardins e fachadas dos prédios que abrigam a mostra reluzem graças ao projeto luminotécnico de Carlos Fortes, arquiteto especializado em iluminação, e Débora Espósito, sua sócia. “O objetivo é integrar as intervenções realizadas pelo elenco ao conjunto arquitetônico e paisagístico do Parque”, comenta ele. O tom amarelo-ocre das paredes fica ainda mais vivo com a luz das lâmpadas de led de baixa temperatura (1 800 K) e índice de reprodução de cores (IRC) acima de 90%, que também atende aos parâmetros relacionados ao baixo consumo de energia e à proteção dos animais que habitam o entorno.

From restrooms with accessible cabins to ramps and free circulation for wheelchairs, accessibility remains one of the keywords of CASACOR São Paulo. In 2025, the event received, for the third consecutive year, the Accessibility Seal from the Permanent Accessibility Commission (CPA), reinforcing the show's commitment to a more inclusive and comfortable experience for different audiences.
The event is not pet-friendly. Due to the contemplative nature of the show and the high flow of visitors, the entry of animals is not allowed, except for guide dogs and emotional support dogs.
