Peugeot reinforces design, technology and sustainability at CASACOR SP

At the top of the terrace of Conjunto Nacional overlooking Avenida Paulista, small birds, butterflies and hummingbirds fly over the tropical species brought together by landscaper Gil Fialho for the Peugeot Garden , at CASACOR São Paulo . The aroma of passion fruit, the lush foliage, the abundant blossoms and the fruit trees offer a real respite from the fast-paced daily life of the surroundings and interact with the main protagonist of the space: the New Peugeot E-2008, the brand's electric model . “We created a pergola to store the car. From there, people walk on a brick floor, made of clay, to feel that they are in contact with the earth. This [Peugeot Garden] is a backyard, which has a collection of tropical plants, useful for fauna and pollinators,” says Gil Fialho, with 30 years of expertise in landscaping. Positioned, therefore, in a kind of square surrounded by benches made from recycled wood and ceramic lamps, the car appears specially designed for the exhibition with art by Ikaro Cavalcante. This initiative at CASACOR reveals Peugeot 's connection to the world of design, technology and innovation – in addition to pointing out possible and environmentally friendly paths for urban mobility. According to the brand, the presence of the electric car strengthens the space's character and sustainable commitment. After experiencing this garden full of life, visitors enter an environment of profound silence, elegantly marked by the choices of architect Natan Gil , who designed the interiors. Measuring 142 m², Casa Peugeot comprises a spacious living area, with a living room, dining room and kitchen, as well as a comfortable suite.

Throughout the journey, the absence of noise instills a sense of peace while keeping the view focused on the outside. This is thanks to the architect Natan Gil, who placed a large stainless steel sphere on the roof to reflect the green landscape around the car. This intentional monotony, in turn, is broken only by the art curation and specific choices of furniture, such as the blue mandala, by artist Marcos Coelho Benjamim, and the minimalist pieces with brown finishes, designed by the architect himself exclusively for the space. For Peugeot, this commitment to original creation, art, design and environmentally responsible solutions expresses a vision of the future. “We wanted to bring together sustainability, the future and speed and we believe that participating in CASACOR is an opportunity to present our ideals to the public and potential consumers through a visual experience”, says the brand. About the New Peugeot E-2008 The silent New Peugeot E-2008, a 100% electric SUV, was chosen by Peugeot to star in the brand's environments within the CASACOR circuit precisely because of its sustainable appeal.
