7 lofts from CASACOR Rio de Janeiro translate contemporary living

The CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2025, occupying the Fashion Mall until October 26, features seven lofts that reveal the strength of this integrated living format – where the fluidity of the projects replaces traditional barriers and opens space for new ways of living. Each project stems from a particular narrative, highlighting desires, memories, and ways of dwelling that translate into architectural and interior choices capable of provoking warmth and surprise. More than just presenting trends, the lofts of this edition highlight how materials, color palettes, and design solutions can transform the relationship between the individual and their home. Whether through the rusticity of natural finishes, the freshness of earthy tones, or the imposing presence of authorial design pieces, each project expresses a unique vision of contemporary living. The result is a collection of spaces that inspire, inviting visitors to rethink their own daily lives. Check it out below!

1. Tom Castro – Loft Alento

Designed for a mature and introspective resident, the Loft Alento conveys warmth in every detail. Wood, stone, and brushed stainless steel offer tactile comfort, while striking tones like military green and brown appear in upholstery and objects, reinforcing the contemporary atmosphere. The intimate lighting creates layers of sensations and enhances the Brazilian artworks chosen for the space, making it a sophisticated and affectionate refuge.

2. Nando Grabowsky – Loft Atlas Urbano

In the Loft Atlas Urbano, the concept is to live authentically and comfortably. In 74 m², the integration of the projects brings fluidity, highlighting the central bookshelf that connects the living room and bedroom. Its colorful niches hold books and affection objects. Meanwhile, the open kitchen reinforces the idea of barrier-free living. The lattice ceiling with pinpoint lighting enhances the sense of well-being and warmth.

3. Fernanda Medeiros – Loft Dolce Vita

Inspired by the light life of Rio de Janeiro, the Loft Dolce Vita was created for a young couple who values social gatherings with friends and contact with the city. The palette mixes earthy and bluish tones referencing the sea, while textures such as rattan, wood, and clay bring the space closer to nature. The retro touch appears in the kitchen (filled with memories!) and creative solutions like the wine table attached to the dining table demonstrate how design and functionality can go hand in hand.

4. Sebastian Gomez Arquitetura – Loft Essência

In the Loft Essência, raw and refined materials coexist harmoniously. The integration of the projects is marked by smart architectural solutions, such as the use of cobogós and muxarabis that provide privacy without losing the permeability of light and ventilation. Stone and wood take center stage evoking the passage of time, resulting in a genuine, sophisticated, yet unpretentious environment.

5. Pedro Coimbra Arquitetura – Loft Joana

Designed for an independent and sophisticated entrepreneur, the Loft Joana values Brazilian design in iconic pieces by Sérgio Rodrigues, Mula Preta, and Gustavo Bittencourt. Self-care areas, a closet, and bedroom coexist with a living area and kitchen in a versatile and welcoming space. The wallpaper created by Dominique Jardy brings delicacy, while the use of gneiss as a sculptural element reinforces the aesthetic strength of the project.

6. THIMI Arquitetura – Loft Semente

With Mediterranean inspiration, the Loft Semente blends innovation and tradition. The neutral palette comes to life in various textures: bouclé, linen, and velvet contrast with chukum (an ancestral Mayan material reinterpreted in Brazil) in floors and countertops. The grayish tone used in walls and the ceiling creates visual unity, while the carvalho guaraná woodwork connects the hall and bedroom in a cohesive and elegant design.

7. Claudia Infante – Loft da Mulher 50+

The Loft da Mulher 50+ is a tribute to actress Ingrid Guimarães and all women experiencing transformations at this phase of life. With a soft palette of light greens and lilacs, the project invests in straight lines, discreet woodwork, and comfortable furniture to create functionality without excesses. The Brazilianness appears in weaves, textures, wood, and handcrafted pieces – composing a fluid space that privileges the essential with lightness and authenticity.
