Originally, the building that now hosts CASACOR Minas Gerais 2024 was a motel. This historical past was the starting point of the project that Marcelo Alvarenga and Juliana Figueiró, from Play Arquitetura, conceived for the Minas Gerais exhibition. Without falling into stereotypes, the proposal of Suíte do Amor is to evoke an interior architecture that is seductive and combines sensuality with hospitality .

A giant bed , pieces that inspire fetishes, velvety textures , provocative works of art , a practical cabin and finely tuned light : from these elements, architects show that architecture is capable of instigating sensations and creating fantasies .

The chosen furniture plays with the human senses , whether through materials — such as leather, silk, velvet and polished steel — or through shape, such as chains and the transparent bathtub. The artistic pieces instigate the imagination , together with a soundtrack that "reminds us of the delights and pains of love today and yesterday", as Marcelo and Juliana describe.

In the Love Suite, Eros is represented in a very high style, say the architects: "What interests us is that architecture can affect and embrace varied, simple and real ways of loving."
