Designed by Duda Porto, the
country house Bruno Gagliasso and
Giovanna Ewbank and their three children began its story at CASACOR São Paulo 2019. The modular and sustainable construction system developed by the architect from Rio de Janeiro was presented at the São Paulo exhibition under the name
Casa Lite . And, in the first few days of the event, the project caught the attention of the artist couple who bought the house that was built in Membeca, in Paraíba do Sul, in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro. “We used 70% of the structure of Lite, launched at CASACOR SP, and implemented the house with clean and sustainable construction. The floor plan is extended because we added two more bedrooms”, explains Duda Porto. And to finalize the interior design project, architect Hana Lerner came on board. Bruno and Giovanna asked her for a
cozy decor that integrated all the rooms in the house – dining room, kitchen and living room – since the family loves to welcome friends into the social areas.
The
contemporary rustic style is present throughout the décor: in the furniture, chosen to bring comfort to the family, and in the colors chosen for the living room (terracotta, dark blue and green), as well as in the choice of specific pieces that brought a casual look to the ranch.
The chairs designed by
Sergio Rodrigues in the dining room stand out, bringing a contemporary touch to the project. Trunks, personal objects and lots of art brought the owners'
personality and
individuality to the house. And there are also two iconic pieces of furniture in the living room: the Mole armchair and the Jangada armchair.
The spacious spaces were visually integrated through the choice of warm tones for the décor. The kitchen, for example, has a shade of petrol blue and gray tiles. In the TV room, a large rug in shades of red warms up the spacious living room.
"For me, a home is a place where
the soul of the person who is going to live there must be reflected in every corner and interior design is the translation of this look, the look of the soul", concludes architect Hana Lerner.
