CASACOR São Paulo's tiny houses combine practicality and sustainability traduzido por: OPENROUTER

The discussion about new ways of living has expanded interest in compact residences capable of combining comfort, practicality and sustainability in reduced areas. More than a response to space optimization, these constructions also serve as a field of experimentation for materials, construction systems and solutions aimed at well-being.

At CASACOR São Paulo 2026, this theme appears in four proposals spread throughout Parque da Água Branca. Among cabins, pavilions and tiny houses connected to nature, the projects present different interpretations of contemporary living and demonstrate how technology and sensitivity in architecture can coexist even in streamlined footprints.

Among the tiny houses at CASACOR São Paulo 2026, Casa Ecomorada stands out for its direct relationship with sustainability. Designed by Erica Gonçalves and Cinthia Gontijo, the 60 m² project uses a modular construction system and relies on solutions that seek to optimize resources without giving up comfort.

The small cabin houses an integrated living, dining and kitchen area, as well as a porch and a side ramp for accessibility. Inside, the skylight expands the entry of natural light and creates a constant connection with the sky. Another highlight are the floor and countertop coverings, handcrafted with clay developed from the reuse of discarded porcelain tiles.

Cubijoo Pavilion, by Edward van Vliet

Developed by Dutch designer Edward van Vliet, the Cubijoo Pavilion explores the potential of modular and demountable architecture. With 50 m², the construction combines a prefabricated steel structure with wood and ceramic finishes.

The space was conceived as a retreat focused on well-being. In the indoor projects, a large rug organizes the meditation area, while the outdoor part works as an extension of relaxation activities. Wood, glass, brass and ceramic help reinforce the proposal of bringing together architecture, nature and sensory experiences.

Casa Limiar R., by Felipe Rossi Arquitetura

Casa Limiar R. starts from the idea of reducing the boundaries between interior and exterior. With 80 m², the project uses large glazed surfaces to bring residents closer to the preserved landscape of Parque da Água Branca, incorporating vegetation into the everyday experience of the house.

The distribution of the projects includes a hall, gourmet living room, suite and closet. Among the highlighted elements are the walls in travertino rosso, which run through different spaces of the residence, and the stainless steel countertops, responsible for creating a contemporary counterpoint. On the ceiling, a skylight frames the treetops and expands the entry of natural lighting.

Samádi House, by Carol Barreto

The Samádi House was born from a reflection on well-being, spirituality and connection with nature. Inspired by experiences lived in Bali and by references from Bahian culture, Carol Barreto created a 114 m² residence dedicated to rest and contemplation.

The program includes projects focused on relaxation, such as a spa, sauna and lounge areas designed to slow down the routine. The presence of stones, natural fibers, ceramics and wood reinforces the principles of biophilic design. The light steel frame structure contributes to faster execution and less waste generation during construction.
