Estilo brasileiro contemporâneo

The contemporary Brazilian style is an authentic expression of our cultural identity that combines modern elements with regional references and natural materials. This style values integrated spaces, comfort, and functionality, without sacrificing the sophisticated and welcoming aesthetic. Clean lines, natural lighting, and the use of textures and colors inspired by nature are trademarks of this concept. Check out the main characteristics of this style and how it translates into amazing projects:

Characteristics of the contemporary Brazilian style

1. Natural and regional materials

The use of wood, stone, straw, ceramics, and natural fibers gives authenticity and warmth to the projects. These materials are often combined with sophisticated finishes that create a balance between rusticity and modernity.

2. Colors inspired by nature

Earthy tones, greens, blues, and tropical hues are common in the style as they evoke Brazilian landscapes and bring an organic touch to the projects. This palette reinforces the connection between the internal and external projects.

3. Integrated and fluid spaces

The integration between projects, like the kitchen and living room, is a hallmark characteristic. This enhances interaction and the spaciousness of the projects, as well as providing better circulation of light and ventilation.

4. Authorial and artisanal design

The furniture and decoration highlight the work of Brazilian designers and artisans by bringing unique and personalized pieces to the projects. Handmade elements add identity and sophistication to the projects.

5. Sustainability and efficiency

"Besides conveying tranquility, biophilic design can reduce stress, increase productivity and creativity, among other benefits for those who live or frequent these projects."" data-image-title="" data-image-source="CASACOR" />

Low environmental impact materials, utilization of natural lighting, water reuse, and use of sustainable technologies are fundamental in the contemporary Brazilian style. Concern for the projects reflects more conscious choices.

6. Natural lighting and cross ventilation

Large windows, glass doors, and cobogós are used to take full advantage of natural light and air circulation, as they reduce energy consumption and create more pleasant projects.

7. Integrated landscaping

Greenery plays an essential role in the projects, whether in indoor and vertical gardens, balconies, or green roofs. The presence of plants in the decoration enhances well-being and brings freshness to the projects.
