Brazilian Room - Caroline Kreling. CASACOR Rio Grande do Sul 2019. The professional was inspired by Brazilian design to create a modern space with personality. The space combines well-known pieces of national design, such as the Bola de Latão armchair by Lina Bo Bardi, with contemporary items from the new generation, such as the Labirinto sideboard by the Nada se Leva studio.

The large concrete and wood panel connects the living room and bedroom, providing a sense of visual continuity. Next door, a bathroom is enlivened by blue tiles, also a reference to Brazilian modernism.

Half House - Mariana and Filipi Oliveira. CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2019. In the kitchen permeated by mashrabiyas, straight and concise lines come to life, inspired by country kitchens and the Brazilian way of living. The wooden ceiling and stone wall represent a desire to be at home disconnected, to contemplate and to welcome.

Living Perene - C4 Arquitetos. CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2019. In the fresh mood of the multipurpose living room, the selection of Brazilian design draws attention – works of art and big names in national design pay homage to the original architecture of the house. Prints and paintings by Bahian photographer Kiolo occupy the walls.

Lounge Bar - Angela Castilho and Alex Rodrigues. CASACOR Brasília 2019. In the 220 m² living space, the dry climate of the Cerrado inspired the composition with wooden trunks, rustic textures, warm tones, bamboo, sand, clay, stones and linen and cotton fabrics. The bar, which houses Mosaico, by chef Paulo Tarso, is intimate, minimalist and welcoming.

Family Home Office - Fernanda Moreira Lima. CASACOR São Paulo 2019. The taste for Brazilian design overflows in this space, designed as a haven of tranquility. Big names in design are present: the chairs are by Geraldo de Barros and Sérgio Rodrigues, the armchair by Zanini, the side tables by Jader Almeida and the sofa by Marcus Ferreira. The lamps also come from national studios.

Being Outside - Adriana Vasconcelos, Flávia Araújo and Flávia Carvalho. CASACOR Brasília 2019. Winter in the cerrado, the earthy tones and the rustic texture of its nature inspired the garden, which has a scenographic and intimate aesthetic to welcome the visitor. Its twisted trunks and geometric watercourses are conceptual, and reinforce a reconnection with nature.

In the Brazilian Room, the color palette with earthy tones was inspired by native tree seeds, bringing neutrality and lightness to the space where the Pau Ferro tropical wood fireplace stands out.

The contemporary furniture includes furniture from the Campana brothers to pieces from Romano's collections. Not to mention the Mole armchair, a classic by Sérgio Rodrigues in a color never seen before.

Roots - Adelina Feitosa and Manuela Cidrão. CASACOR Ceará 2019. The name itself indicates its vocation: Roots seeks to rescue the very roots of Ceará, in a reinterpretation of a hut that is structured on metal, covered by a sophisticated weave made of carnauba straw. The structure rests on a reflecting pool, providing visitors with the experience of contemplating the garden on cushions and hammocks, to the sound of birds from the backlands.

Living Room - Brenda Rolim. CASACOR Ceará 2019. The idea was to recreate the living rooms of the past, where all the decor communicated the tastes and values of the resident. Making regionalism its most striking feature, the space was entirely composed of local furniture, signed by several designers from the Northeast.

In the Living Room, a sculpture made from clay jugs gives new value to pots, usually used as refrigerators in the backlands of Ceará, but here reinterpreted as works of art.

Leroy Merlin Kitchen - Felipe Soares. CASACOR Minas Gerais 2019. The elements of traditional Minas Gerais cuisine are all there: the wood stove, the open cabinets, the rustic brick, the fruits and vegetables on display. The clean layout is what sets it apart, with a T-shaped central island, which houses the wood stove, the bowl and the table, with epoxy coated in red resin.

Senhora das Águas Hall - Weiss Arquitetura. CASACOR São Paulo 2019. Inspired by Brazilian rivers and their folkloric protector Iara, the duo Tide Junqueira and Bárbara Garcia highlight, in the 25 m², mermaid sculptures, which gave an extremely striking and elegant touch, works by the visual artist Daniel Paschoalim.

House 245 - Laís Galvão. CASACOR Bahia 2019. The uncomplicated loft was inspired by the simple and brilliant lines of architects such as Oscar Niemeyer and Lina Bo Bardi. The space takes us on a grand tour of Bahian art and Brazilian design, with highlights including the Oscar armchair, the Tripé chair and the works of Mário Cravo Jr. and Emanuel Araújo.

This question guided the architects, interior designers and landscapers of CASACOR to redefine traditional elements of the Brazilian way of living – which also reflect our culture, values and needs. The answer materialized in projects that pay homage to legends, local artists and Brazilian natural landscapes. In others, the idea was to pay homage to great national architects and designers, in a nod to their style and genius. Check it out![newsletter]
