Gabriel Fernandes - Casa Veredas Simonetto. This 120 m² house, which pays homage to country life, aims to evoke memories of rural imagery. The entrance hall is connected to the act of sewing through the installation work A Costura do Erro, by Adrianna Eu; the stove is wood-burning; and an oratory at the exit reminds us of the importance of giving thanks. A technical challenge of the project, the shelf that goes all the way up to the ceiling houses blocks modeled by women assisted by the Maria do Barro Institute in Brasília. Each brick contained in the niches represents the way its author sees the house. Behind the sofa, another gem: the panel assembled with an old ceramic floor by Francisco Brennand.

Installation Holding the Sky by Denilson Baniwa at CASACOR São Paulo 2024.
01/75 -

Installation "Holding the Sky" - Denilson Baniwa . The universe of Baniua cosmology is made up of multiple layers, which in turn are linked to deities, spirits, other people and elements, connecting what is below and above the earth. One of these layers is the place of healing, where Nhiãperikuli lives, responsible for the shape of the world, shared with Kamathawa. Denilson Baniwa, an indigenous artist and activist, linked this cosmology with other productions – A Queda do Céu, by Davi Kopenawa and Bruce Albert, and Futuro Ancestral, by Ailton Krenak – to create his work Segurar o Céu, two special installations for CASACOR, providing visitors with a connection with other ways of living, understanding and sustaining the world.

José Roberto Moreira do Valle - Young Executive Loft
02/75 -

José Roberto Moreira do Valle - Loft do Jovem Executivo . Contemporary and classic come together in this 113 m² loft. The neutral palette ranges from black, beige and earth tones, suggesting a serene atmosphere. Modern furniture pieces contrast with traditional choices, such as the bombé dresser (made of wood and curved shapes) and the crystal chandelier. The cozy atmosphere is reinforced by the mosaic on the wall and the wooden panels that cover the space – which will be reused later, in line with sustainability.

Leo Shehtman Architecture and Design - Dell Anno Global Living
03/75 -

Leo Shehtman Arquitetura e Design - Dell Anno Global Living . The cosmopolitan air of New York lofts seduces in the 130 m² space. The fine mix of design and contemporary works of art coexists with the casualness of industrial finishes, so characteristic of this architectural style. From the black bricks covering the walls to the rough stones on the kitchen floor, to the combination of glass and metalwork in the closet, the project highlights the textures and tenacity of the materials. “We sought an intimate atmosphere that represents everyday life. The shapes, textures, light and shadow bring personality and sophistication”, says the architect.

Cacau Ribeiro Interiors - Our Own Time
04/75 -

Cacau Ribeiro Interiors - Nosso Próprio Tempo . Making the most of every day, entertaining friends and traveling: this lifestyle is a dream come true for a mature couple, who are the target of this 120 m² home. “We value comfort and good design. The inhabitants of this loft want to live surrounded by good memories,” summarizes the designer. Furniture pieces designed by her are accompanied by others by Alfio Lisi and Isabelle De Mari and the iconic Sampei lamp by Italian designer Enzo Calabrese. In the name of sustainable attitudes, only water-based paints, LED lamps and efficient electrical equipment are used in the space.

Brunete Fraccaroli Architecture and Interiors - Transcending Eras
05/75 -

Brunete Fraccaroli Arquitetura e Interiores - Transcendendo Épocas . This time, the architect's bold and colorful brand outlines a 74 m² loft, designed for a young, modern resident who is in tune with his time. The character is represented, on a 1:1 scale, by the paper sculpture developed in conjunction with visual artist Mariana Kamilos. The furniture features pieces by Jader Almeida and Roberta Banqueri. Note the unconventional rug and the chain curtain, as well as the sustainable decision to use only materials that can be reused when the exhibition closes.

Studio Ro+Ca - Loft Celmar - 2064
06/75 -

Studio Ro+Ca - Loft Celmar - 2064 . Combining ancestry and technology, leaving a memory for the day after tomorrow: from this thought came the proposal from the trio of architects Rodrigo Beze, Carlos Carvalho and Caio Carvalho. “We materialize our ideas in a capsule space imagined tailored for today or 40 years from now”, they explain. The contrast of rustic materials against modern ones appears with emphasis on the kitchen countertop, which combines stainless steel and raw stone in an unconventional way. An opening in the ceiling brings more natural light to the 193 m² loft filled with furniture from the Carvalho brothers' design line.

NJ+ Nildo Jose - LG House
07/75 -

NJ+ | Nildo José - LG House . Bamboo stems split in half served as the theme for the appearance of the sinuous volume of machined MDF that runs through the 340 m² of LG House. The Guarani indigenous people lent their knowledge, which revolves around the terms Ñe'é (soul) and Mbya (the principle of the person), so that the architect could interpret the theme From Present to Now. “We created a house in homage to the soul, where it is possible to breathe calm, positivity, delicacy and minimalism”, he says. Along with the light palette of neutrals and pinks, the lush green gains weight, as do the works of art made by representatives of native peoples. The curator is Mirtes Marins de Oliveira.

Bia Abreu - Garden the Tone of Tomorrow
08/75 -

Bia Abreu - Garden, the Tone of Tomorrow . What tone would you like for your future? In times of widespread automation of processes, reflecting on human relationships is what interests the landscaper. For this reason, she designed a place marked by manual work. “My gardens reflect the work of people and the power of transformation,” she points out. Species from the Cerrado and other tropical vegetation – such as pompom acacia, mango jasmine, lavender and grasses – contribute to the aesthetic and olfactory effect. The sculptural mirror by Thomas Graeff expands the perception of the 50 m² surroundings, with benches positioned to allow for prolonged contemplation.

Thiago Borges Landscape Architecture - Garden of the Four Elements
09/75 -

Thiago Borges Arquitetura da Paisagem - Garden of the Four Elements . The vast 250 m² garden balances the presence of water, fire, earth and air. Three water mirrors with waterfalls provide the pleasant sound of the rapids, while five fireplaces bring the warmth and comfort of the flames close by. The lush vegetation includes a section with date palms and is accompanied by the large roof that protects the area from one corner to the other. The structure, handcrafted with bamboo – one of the lightest and most renewable materials – adds points for sustainability due to its clean construction, as well as the lighting design, all specified with LEDs.

Gil Fialho Landscaping - Peugeot Functional Garden
10/75 -

Gil Fialho Landscaping - Peugeot Functional Garden . A garden tailored to the needs of birdlife: it provides shelter, fruit and nectar not only for birds but also for pollinators, increasing biodiversity in the surrounding area. “It is possible to create a micro-ecosystem where butterflies, hummingbirds and other animals feel at home in an urban area surrounded by buildings,” argues the landscaper. To house Peugeot's electric car, the garage with a retractable roof also functions as a place for socializing. The dense plant mass over the 200 m² celebrates tropical species, while the clothesline with epiphytic plants attests: a stretched wire as a guide is enough to ensure the presence of greenery.

Natan Gil Architecture - Peugeot House of Silence
11/75 -

Natan Gil Arquitetura - Peugeot House of Silence . In an era that produces such a large volume and flow of information, to which we are all exposed, offering silence is something valuable. By combining the palette of neutral tones with the minimalist design of the furniture – sofa, armchairs, chairs, bed and the sculptural mirror were specially developed by the office itself for the exhibition –, the intention of promoting a multisensory experience becomes clearer. The 142 m² space also features a suspended art installation: designed by the architect, the large stainless steel sphere reflects the green of the garden next door, home to Peugeot's electric model.

Monica Costa Landscaping - Vista Xingu.
12/75 -

Mônica Costa Paisagismo - Vista Xingu . By paying homage to the Xingu River, which begins in the Midwest and runs through the Amazon, the landscaper wants to promote dialogue about the conscious use of natural resources in her 265 m² garden. “It induces a disconnection from the urban environment. That’s where the desire to occupy it with plants and charred wood came from, used in the dividers and planters,” she reveals. On the side, the arrangement of the slats suggests a bar code – an allusion to legal trade. The cumaru deck and the bench carved from a fallen tree trunk exemplify sustainable ways of using the raw material.

ADVP Architecture - Refuge of Memories Studio
13/75 -

AD|VP Arquitetura - Estúdio Refúgio de Memórias . “We brought to light the essence of nostalgia, not as an evocation of what once was, but as a celebration of the present, enriched by the baggage of lived experiences.” This is how the duo Andressa Danielli and Vanessa Pasqual present their accessible 88 m² studio. The subtle references to the theme of this edition of CASACOR begin with the organic-shaped floor, which refers to the fluidity of time. On the backlit panel behind the sofa, the clay-based coating gives new life to gravel waste and rejects from the refractory plate industry.

Installation Cocoons and Wasps by Fátima Campos at CASACOR São Paulo 2024.
14/75 -

Installation "Casulos e Marimbondos" - Fátima Campos. Fátima Campos is the very expression of nature. A woman from the Northeast, bold, loose, free... Just like her art. Her repertoire of images is composed of small ceramic pieces that fit together and create feminine forms, at once sensual and aggressive, starting with figures that dissolve in search of the abstract and transform into elements with nebulous and strange aspects. Fátima has lived her entire life in intimate contact with the earth, with the plants and animals of Formosa, her piece of land, in Piauí. Her perception of beauty is always associated with this mythical place. In an almost sacred way, her clay sculptures are daydreams that seek to recreate textures, smells and sounds of the nature that has surrounded her since she was a girl.

Pedro-Ariel-Santana-and-Rodrigo-Ambrosio-Exhibition-Ecos-Armoriais-CASACOR-Sao-Paulo-2024-1
15/75 -

Installation “Ecos Armoriais” - Pedro Ariel Santana and Rodrigo Ambrósio. The Armorial Movement, which emerged in Recife in the 1970s, solidified the image we have of the Northeast today. Led by playwright Ariano Suassuna, it brought together artists and intellectuals from various fields, such as music, visual arts, theater, dance and literature. What united them was the desire to create erudite art rooted in Brazilian roots, with the pamphlet of cordel literature as its main axis. The exhibition “Ecos Armoriais” brings together several active artists and designers who, 50 years later, keep the armorial flame alive by combining ancestral elements of Northeastern culture with contemporary language, creating poetics that dialogue with each other and form a current panorama of the Northeast – a region that is plural, lively and respectful of its traditions.

Fragment Architecture - Terra Vinum
16/75 -

Architecture Fragment - Terra Vinum . The focus of Bardega, a 230 m² bar, is on wine. Hence the association between its architecture and that of traditional wineries through stone walls, certified wooden ceilings and metalwork structures. Architects Andresa Frutuoso de Souza, Rudolf Andreas Riederer, Stephanie Lavos and Felipe Alves de Oliveira approach the connection with nature from an oenological point of view, in which the drink becomes cultural and social information by bringing people together in moments of conviviality and celebration. In the landscaping, which connects the interior to the exterior, the collective opted for native plants and intimate lighting.

Panapaná Studio - Syncretic Bathroom
17/75 -

Panapaná Studio - Syncretic Bathroom . By evoking the syncretism of Brazilians as a process of cultural intersection, architect Isadora Araújo glorifies two figures: Sant'Anna, mother of Our Lady in Catholicism, and Nanã Buruquê, the orisha of still waters. In the 40 m² unisex bathroom, calacata marble refers to Jesus' grandmother's mantle, and copper, an element of the African entity, appears on doors and metals. Floors installed by interlocking and the layout of coverings with minimal cuts help with the later reuse of the pieces. LEDs, automatic taps and dual-flow flush valves complete the range of sustainable solutions.

Fernanda Marques Architecture - Terrae Brasilis Hunter Douglas
18/75 -

Fernanda Marques Arquitetura - Terrae Brasilis Hunter Douglas . Taking a break from the daily rush for contemplation seems like an unrefusable invitation from the architect to those who frequent her 160 m² bar-gallery. The chosen furniture – the Landscape sofa and the Maxx armchairs –, also designed by the professional, becomes even more welcoming amidst the lush vegetation. Under the wooden vault, a symbol of union and transcendence, the diversity and talent of artists such as Angelo Venosa, Isabelle Borges, James Kudo and Sergio Lucena are in evidence. The art curation was in charge of Isabella Marques.

Renato Mendonça - Atimo House
19/75 -

Renato Mendonça - Casa Átimo . Recognizing history and looking forward to the future, but focusing on the present: this is the essence of the 110 m² with a living room integrated into the kitchen, a bedroom with a home office and a balcony. It is a possible empire, hence the choice of the large-scale painting from the Empire series by Tiago Mestre. The ceiling, which reaches 5 m, with a sloping ceiling, is accompanied by dark wood in the carpentry and contemporary furniture. In the closet, the sculpture by Gustavo Rezende reigns supreme: the man leaning towards the screen of his cell phone, framed in the gap in the wall of the headboard, seems to criticize our inability to disconnect.

(MCA Estúdio)
Bruno Moraes - Lullaby and Encounters
20/75 -

Bruno Moraes - Lullaby and Encounters . In the 59 m² living room, designed for visitors to enjoy as an island of comfort, the decor intersperses furniture and objects designed by Brazilian designers and artists from different eras, in a dialogue between the old and the new. One of the highlights, the recycled fiber rug celebrates ancestry, which connects us to the present and the future: the piece incorporates the sound waves of an old Tupi lullaby, transformed into designs, lines and colors through artificial intelligence resources.

Johnny Viana Architecture - Hive with Honey
21/75 -

Johnny Viana Arquitetura - Hive with Honey . The professional praises the important ecological work of bees on the planet in his version of the Badebec restaurant, as inspiration for a more sustainable human existence. In the 346 m² space, the design of several elements alludes to the universe of beehives, such as the furniture designed by the office (sideboard and bookshelf), as well as the tapestry by Geraldo Caraca, woven with waste from the textile industry, and the sculptures produced by Rapha Preto from leftover steel.

Juliana Cascaes Gallery - Martins&Montero
22/75 -

Juliana Cascaes - Martins&Montero Art Gallery . In the 150 m² loft designed for a collector, the gallery ambiance extends to all elements of the living room with home office, starting with the signed furniture. There are classic pieces and also surprising items, such as a furniture-sculpture by Jimmie Durham. Among the works of art at the Martins&Montero gallery (all for sale), the architect chose, for a corner, a blue site-specific painting by Lydia Okumura. Also check out works by Juraci Dórea and Ana Mazzei. A certain New York air emanates from the reclaimed wood flooring.

(Camila Santos)
Daniela Funari Architecture - Soil Environment
23/75 -

Daniela Funari Arquitetura - Ambiente Solos . The integration between the coast and the interior of Brazil is the hallmark of the arrival at CASACOR São Paulo: the sandy tones of the beaches color the lighter stretch and contrast with the burgundy of the land, which darkens as you move away from the ocean. Throughout the 115 m², the ticket office, cloakroom and a contemplation lounge display a selection of national furniture made with fine woods and stones. Take a look at the paintings by Annike Limborço and, especially, the Coragem rug, by Rapha Preto, which reuses fibers from old carpets and fishing nets collected from the sea.

Aline Borges Arquitetura - The Backlands are Inside Us
24/75 -

Aline Borges Arquitetura - The Backlands are Inside Us . Finding beauty in the wild that exists within each one of us is the implicit call in Grande Sertão: Veredas, by Guimarães Rosa, which architect Aline Borges takes upon herself in the design of the unisex bathroom with a family space and a place for breastfeeding. With earth-covered walls, a minimalist garden by landscaper Gabi Piccino and a mural by artist Speto, every detail of the 55 m² space sharpens the senses with its arid aesthetic combined with contemporary inserts that evoke Brazilian identity.

(Carolina Mossin)
Gustavo Scaramella - Apartment Hall
25/75 -

Gustavo Scaramella - Apartment Hall . The architect's creative universe, memories and eclecticism are the basis of the 44 m² area, where the alternation of new and old pieces creates layered stories. “The world and people are plural, and spaces should be too”, says the author. The result is an environment in which past, present and future horizons appear intertwined, as in the two-tone tauari wood floor with circles of national marble. Another point of interest, the ceiling painted yellowish-green received embossed MDF pieces.

(Bia Nauiack)
Gabi Pileggi and Luciana Bacheschi - Brazilian Courtyard
26/75 -

Gabi Pileggi and Luciana Bacheschi - Pátio Brasileiro . The European courtyards brought to Brazil by colonizers are given a new look in the 50 m² contemplative garden designed by the landscaper duo. Honoring biophilia and native vegetation in their natural aesthetics, they show that exuberant beauty and biodiverse flora can indeed feature in modern outdoor areas, as elements that recall our inner self and offer thermal comfort, visual welcome, peace and privacy. Handcrafted floors and vases make up the setting.

(Camila Santos)
DB Architects - Living by David Bastos
27/75 -

DB Arquitetos - Living room by David Bastos . Shades of gray contrast with primary colors – such as those in the mural painting by Fefe Talavera, which depicts four orishas – permeate the 173 m² living room by architect David Bastos, which blends classic minimalist style with Brazil's rich urban history. Sustainable choices are evident in the repurposed books and the choice of few construction solutions, which highlight the facilities of the listed building of Conjunto Nacional.

(MCA Estúdio)
Rosa May Sampaio Interior Design - Movement, Space, Time
28/75 -

Rosa May Sampaio Interior Design - Movement, Space, Time . Two square tables placed close together allow the dining room designed by Rosa May Sampaio to comfortably function as an office at certain times of the day. Together, they seat up to 12 people for festive meals, illuminated by blown glass pendants by Czech designers Michaela Tomiskova and Jakub Jandourek. Thus, the 50 m² mixed space, lined with a natural fiber rug and delimited by brick walls, accommodates more family occasions.

(Camila Santos)
Gabriel Rosa - Sacred Land Lavatory
29/75 -

Gabriel Rosa - Terra Sagrada Lavabo . In his debut at CASACOR, the architect was inspired by the tradition and spirituality of the Himba – inhabitants of northern Namibia and the last semi-nomadic people in Africa, they are deeply connected to the territory and their cultural references. Textures, earthy colors, artisanal ceramics, geometric patterns and natural materials orchestrate a sensorial experience and bring the 27 m² lavatory closer to this culture that reveres ancestors, gratitude and nature.

Rodolfo Consoli - Home Office
30/75 -

Rodolfo Consoli - Home Office . Designed to make a young man from Rio de Janeiro who works in São Paulo feel welcome, the 46 m² home office features light-colored oak panels on the walls, wooden blinds and several plants. “Everything to make the ambiance lighter,” says the architect, who designed the marble coffee and side tables. The furniture includes the Maralunga sofa (Vico Magistretti), upholstered in mustard velvet, the Commander chair (Jorge Zalszupin) and the Nelson Miniature Chest (George Nelson).

Paulo Azevedo - Lake Cabin
31/75 -

Paulo Azevedo - Cabin on the Lake . Built for a couple of biologists to begin a new phase after their children's emancipation, this weekend getaway brings the traditional folk aesthetic (in a mix of checkered, floral and striped patterns) into the 21st century. Divided between a hall with a living room and a mix of studio and library, the 70 m² recall the past with an original decor, which combines wooden floors, antique furniture, old oriental rugs and oils on canvas by Bruno Passos (one of which is above the fireplace).

Weiss Architecture - Essere Gallery
32/75 -

Weiss Arquitetura – Essere Gallery . With the affectionate memories of old farm houses in their imagination, architects Bárbara Carvalho and Tide Junqueira propose an environment that passes through the rooms as an intimate gallery. The 70 m² room has a central fireplace and games table. Wallpaper with an aged appearance makes up the classic setting, reinforced by the low ceilings and the skirt-and-blouse lining, all in balance with works by contemporary artists Gabriel Nehemy, Isabella Forzza, Maysa Pettes and Ana Isméria.

Romário Rodrigues - Weather Pages
33/75 -

Romário Rodrigues - Pages of Time . The family reading room combines aesthetics and literature as records that span time. The 38 m² contain a fireplace and an illuminated floating bar, carved from pearl santana quartzite, extracted in Ceará. Maximalism translates the expansion brought by reading. Antique and design-art pieces – such as the Rio chaise, by Oscar Niemeyer, and the sculpture by Sérvulo Esmeraldo – highlight roots, memories and references.

Carla Felippi - Lounge Bar Happiness Alfa Realty
34/75 -

Carla Felippi - Lounge Bar Happiness Alfa Realty . Lighting, with its effect on our mood, plays a major role throughout the 85 m² lounge. Behind the muxarabi, which also runs along the ceiling, a large tensioned screen panel replicates the effect of natural light, while many other luminous scenes (including a stroboscopic section) provoke a sensorial experience that alternates between calm and excitement. The mirrors arranged on the pillars (in turn, covered in a slatted MDF capable of following its curvature) serve, in the architect's view, as a call to look back.

Studio Marca Architecture and Engineering - Refuge for Gabi
35/75 -

Studio Marca Arquitetura e Engenharia - Refúgio para Gabi . Project by CASACOR São Paulo 2024. A study of different pedagogies applied to design and architecture underpins the children's suite with balcony by Camila Vazquez and André Spadoni, in homage to the couple's daughter. “Prioritizing the child's development in a healthy way and in contact with nature is leaving a good legacy for the future”, explains the duo. To be comfortable, safe and free of screens, the 38 m² room favors loose furniture, wooden toys and natural materials, such as wicker, rattan and cotton.

Kesley Santiago - Quarto Njinga
36/75 -

Kesley Santiago - Njinga Room . The baby's room captures in 25 m² the sophistication, wisdom and beauty of the Mbundu people. This is one of the largest ethnic groups in Angola, represented by the figure of Queen Njinga, from the Ndongo and Matamba kingdoms, a symbol of resistance and leadership against Portuguese colonization. Imbued with her ancestry, the architect designed all the furniture, as well as wallpaper, carpet and trousseau, rescuing elements from that culture, such as straw, wood, iron, sisal and the landscape of the African savannah.

Adriana Valle and Patricia Carvalho - Master Suite
37/75 -

Adriana Valle and Patricia Carvalho - Master Suite . The carpentry is the star of the project by the duo behind Migs Arquitetura: the minimalist bookshelf tells the couple's story and the oriental-inspired mashrabiya lightly divides the 74 m² suite, which has a living room and closet. The furniture is made up of Brazilian designers, antiques and original pieces. Femininity, ancestry and sustainability permeate the works of art and the original collection of hand-embroidered black and white fabrics that adorn several items.

Mandril Architecture - Kitchen Lathe
38/75 -

Mandril Arquitetura - Lathe Kitchen . Partners Bruno Reis and Helena Kallas propose a kitchen and dining room for family gatherings. With 55 m², the project draws on the duo's experience in creating, especially for the exhibition, the collection of vases and lamp bases displayed in the space. Modeled on a lathe, an ancient instrument that invites full attention during manual activity, the pieces pay homage to the raw material and its history. The architects also designed the handmade tiles that make up the table top and use a 100% natural blue pigment.

Letícia Nannetti - EnCantos
39/75 -

Letícia Nannetti - EnCantos . Taking back what constitutes us to keep the movement of life and always moving forward is the message of the 35 m² laundry room, which displays charming details and welcomes those dedicated to taking care of the household routine with comfort and technology. “Our space rescues and values the culture of Minas Gerais as a treasure to be exalted and protected”, says the architect. In its conception, it brings together natural materials, art, history and artisanal pieces of ancient knowledge and crafts such as loom, embroidery and ceramics.

Pedro Alves, Ana Brandão and Amanda Zillig - Espaço Zenith
40/75 -

Pedro Alves, Ana Brandão and Amanda Zillig - Espaço Zenith . Distributed between spa, gym and bathrooms, the 95 m² wellness space interprets the highest experience of well-being and self-care: one that values a healthy mind in balance with the body and spirit. In the finishes, natural stones, water mirrors, vegetation and handcrafted macramé shades make up a set that reflects warmth and luxury. “The pleasant aesthetics provide a deep sensorial experience”, says Pedro.

Paola Ribeiro - Coral House Place of Affection
41/75 -

Paola Ribeiro - Casa Coral Lugar de Afeto . In each scene of the 244 m2 house, the theme Of Present, Now emerges from affectivity. Antique objects, which suggest they are family heirlooms (plates, teapots, retro lamps, a canopy), and a wide variety of fabrics with reinterpretations of classic prints bring memories, roots, childhood references and a feeling of welcome. Living, dining and TV rooms (with office), bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lunch room boast the geometry of stripes on the ceiling, fabrics, carpets, lamps and furniture.

Renata Guastelli Landscaping - Natural Connection . Located at a strategic point that forms the connection between six environments of the exhibition, the 100 m² garden is a peaceful setting, with drainage floor, water fountains and rich in tropical plants (such as miniguaimbê, hybrid guaimbê-do-brejo and cipó-imbé ) arranged in beds organized in metal boxes. Everything for a relaxing experience, completed by rich aluminum furniture, nautical rope and natural stone. “Essentialism is a premise in the project, created to stimulate visitors’ connection with nature and encourage introspection”, says the landscaper.

Carol Miluzzi Architecture - Legacy House
43/75 -

Carol Miluzzi Arquitetura - Casa Legado . In the living room and kitchen designed by architect Carol Miluzzi and her partner, engineer Willian Vasconcelos, the fireplace, housed in a piece designed by Gustavo Neves, is central. Around it, the walls are decorated with digitalized paintings by artist Dominique Jardy. The careful selection of inherited and repurposed items makes up the majority of the furniture, which ranges from 1950s Brazilian furniture, 19th century French furniture, family furniture and contemporary design pieces. Thus, the 56 m² space highlights the memory of ancestors and the desire for a future that takes only what is necessary from nature.

Ana Weege - Âmago Studio
44/75 -

Ana Weege - Estúdio Âmago . In the 67 m² living room with pantry, the proposal is to transcend time and delve into the heart of the present. Based on the choice of sustainable materials produced by artisans in the interior of São Paulo, which highlight the care for nature, the intimate environment encourages observers to reflect on the heritage we will leave for the next generations. In the decor, with original and period furniture, the cattail straw screen and the walls covered in coconut fiber stand out.

Gabriela Prado - Ancestral Refuge
45/75 -

Gabriela Prado - Ancestral Refuge . The intervention in the ceiling, which resembles a stained glass window, gains modernity when the LED strip that runs through its structure lights up and illuminates the 152 m² space. There, the Caracol Bar operates on a mixed ceramic and porcelain floor, with an organic design in shades of gray and blue. Two curved slatted walls give movement to the space, marked by straight-lined furniture. An exception is the oval sofa in the entrance, which is designed by Egyptian designer Karim Rashid and is an exclusive launch at CASACOR São Paulo.

Viganó Architecture - Ties of Art Studio
46/75 -

Viganó Arquitetura - Estúdio Laços da Arte . Representing art passed down from generation to generation, many works by renowned artists are spread across the 55 m² of the studio designed by Luciana Viganó. Comprising a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and garden, the space reflects the individuality of the resident in the choice of furniture and objects. The ease of contemporary life is presented in the automation of systems and the use of surfaces such as steel and glass, in contrast to the textured mass of the countertop – a tradition in the homes of descendants of Italians in Caxias do Sul, RS, the architect's hometown.

Barbara Dundes - Casa Tao
47/75 -

Barbara Dundes - Casa Tao . Understanding the universe, the nature and the constancy of its cycles is the purpose of this 60 m² house, guided by a term from Chinese philosophy: tao, which in Mandarin can mean path or method. The concept encompasses the journey that makes each thing what it is – including the history of its raw materials and the labor used in its construction. “The breathing of each person involved in these processes also contributes to the uniqueness of an environment”, explains the architect. A tree brings a feeling of freshness and relief. The stainless steel walls draw sober reflections and highlight the colors of the surroundings.

Monik Architecture and Interiors - Roots . The hand-painted design on the tiles at the entrance and the organic-shaped wood panel in the cabins are the focal points of the 36 m² functional bathroom designed by Monik Santos. Principles of biophilia justify the traits that refer to forms of nature, adopted to rescue our origin and create a scene of contemplation. The architect aims to instigate a reflection on the current multicultural society: in it, having roots is what makes us individual and, at the same time, plural beings.

The lightweight galvanized steel structure speeds up assembly, enables dry construction and reduces water consumption and waste generation, in addition to allowing the house to be reassembled elsewhere. Among the highlights are the glasses (round window) in the living room and the paper lamp by artist Thomaz Velho in the bedroom.

Installation Ocupação Terreiro - Alexandre Salles. A circular structure, covered with flags reminiscent of Umbanda and Candomblé terreiros, invites visitors to linger and participate in conversations, activations with artists and moments of connection, such as stepping on the dirt floor, playing capoeira and doing batucada – after all, another great reference is the backyard of Tia Ciata, an influential figure in the emergence of Rio de Janeiro samba. The works include everything from Candomblé objects to contemporary pieces by artists such as Moisés Patrício, André Ricardo, Diambe and Soberana Ziza, who developed the work Matriarca especially for the occasion, reinforcing the importance of women and feminine energy for an ancestral future.

Red Square Arquitetura - Islands of Reflection . Fluid circulation and well-thought-out lighting are two attractions of the 48 m² functional bathroom, designed by architects Débora Pinheiro and Renata Nascimento. The central cabin arranged as an island, highlighted by light sources directed from above, carries the concept of introspection and retains design intelligence by discreetly housing the hydrant point, which could not be moved.

Altera Arquitetura – Echoes of the Past . As if tracing a timeline from prehistory, architect Renan Altera adds examples of humanity's architectural legacy in contemporary living to this 71 m² loft. Textures that refer to caves, arches from ancient Rome, stained glass from the Middle Ages and even neoclassical symmetry in the kitchen dialogue with homages and reinventions of elements from different eras and traditions. A skylight introduces natural light in a soft and diffused way and the garden fulfills the intention of promoting health and well-being. The future is portrayed in the sustainable approach of suppliers.

Around it, several models of Dekton and Silestone coverings, by Cosentino, appear on the floors, walls and pieces of furniture. Launched in Brazil, the Khalo pattern covers the countertops and the island. A linen panel, on which a landscape was hand-painted, complements the landscaping designed by Alex Hanazaki.

59/75 -

Installation "Memento Habilis" - Henrique Oliveira. Memento Habilis (2023) takes us to a monumental fossil, whose forms evoke plants and animals from past eras. The work provokes in the observer a feeling of familiarity and strangeness in the face of an enigmatic entity, whose existence transcends time. The title suggests a connection with Homo habilis – one of the first human ancestors to master stone tools, who lived approximately between 2.4 million and 1.4 million years ago – and reflects on human capacity and the intrinsic strength of nature.

Gabriel Fernandes - Casa Veredas Simonetto . This 120 m² house, which pays homage to country life, aims to evoke memories of rural imagery. The entrance hall is connected to the act of sewing through the installation work A Costura do Erro, by Adrianna Eu; the stove is wood-burning; and an oratory at the exit reminds us of the importance of giving thanks. A technical challenge of the project, the shelf that goes all the way up to the ceiling houses blocks modeled by women assisted by the Maria do Barro Institute in Brasília. Each brick contained in the niches represents the way its author sees the house. Behind the sofa, another gem: the panel assembled with an old ceramic floor by Francisco Brennand.

Adriana Farias - Hutukara . In Yanomami culture, hutukara means mother nature and mother earth, the one who feeds, welcomes and heals. The translation of this concept into a functional environment results in a 37 m² bathroom whose aim is to create the feeling of being inside the forest. The curved ceiling in shades of brown, green and blue symbolizes the tree canopy, the walls in the Jatobá wood pattern refer to trunks, and the quartzite in the sink reproduces the colors of the water lily, a species that is born and flourishes in the waters of Rio. Black, in Amazonas. Hydraulic tiles with indigenous graphics form a large panel that expresses thoughts, experiences and experiences.

It’s impossible to enter the Ristorantino dining room without looking up: designed using parametric techniques and artificial intelligence, the imposing MDF ceiling that soars above the 339 m² like a gigantic cloud is what first catches your eye – probably followed by the deep blue quartzite countertops and tops. The futuristic atmosphere with touches of maximalism designed by the Guardini Stancati studio is bathed in abundant natural light and biophilic principles.

LP+A - Conexão by Minimal Design . Five architects are responsible for this 143 m² coworking space: Isabella Leonetti, Mariana Paquier, Alessandra Ruiz, Pierina Piemonte and Carolina Correia. Therefore, choosing the power of the feminine as the theme for the language seemed like a natural path. “Just as the uterus shelters and nourishes life, our space is a sanctuary of affection, a welcoming womb that celebrates the energy of women and the power of creation,” they explain. To orchestrate this sense of belonging, the office used curved and organic shapes, warm and neutral colors and a mural with urban art. The furniture is by Minimal Design.

Zanardo Paisagismo - Tekohá Square . In Guarani, tekohá means the place where we are what we are: land, forest, fields, waterways and plants, in short, the territory where the indigenous way of life develops. This notion gives rise to the 129 m² square, which also has an entrance hall and a large living room. The bridge with nature is created by the furniture made from fallen trees, the chandelier made from a branch, the wooden mashrabiya and, of course, the photographic panel O Tronco, by Marcelo Menezes. There are also examples of benches sculpted by Kulikyrda Mehinaku, which represent the native animals of the Xingu Indigenous Territory.

Renata Patelli Arquitetura - Espaço Brennand . Several religions and beliefs suggest that human beings were born from clay, and the divine breath in a handful of damp earth also produced art, culture and love. Wet earth, loaded with this symbolism, is used to make clay: a basic ingredient in ceramics. This material has marked the entire life and career of Francisco Brennand (1927-2019), founder of the workshop named after him, who is present at the exhibition with the 48 m² store. In the center of the space proposed by Renata Patelli and her partners, Victor Linhares and Ivan Farha, the oven represents the process of firing the pieces and refers to the heat of the nest. After all, the egg is a recurring element in the work of the artist from Pernambuco.

Eduardo Baldelomar - Ceiba Camba . Bolivia's cultural and natural diversity shines through in the 54 m² optical shop built for Gustavo Eyewear, which takes a tree that is emblematic of its flora as its starting point. The palette uses the colors of Ceiba camba, a type of silk-cotton tree, and tints the furniture pink and yellow. The mosaic, made in ceramic by the artist Andrés Fenix, a fellow countryman of the architect, appears on two panels. At the end of the event, they will be donated to an NGO that works to preserve the biodiversity of the Andean country.

Marina Salomão - Sertões do Saber . Influenced by the classic Brazilian literature Os Sertões, by Euclides da Cunha, the 68 m² Unisaber bookstore invokes the history of cangaço to reflect on the passage of time. Thus, elements of northeastern constructions take center stage, reflecting regional climate conditions and using raw materials such as clay, fibers and wood. Straw covers the lower part and columns of the shelves, which display publications of the most diverse genres; the caramel leather armchair alludes to the sertanejo clothing; and the curved off-white sofa provides coziness, in addition to contributing to the setting with a dose of modernity.

The use of natural materials in everyday life dates back to the dawn of civilization: earth, fibers, stone and wood function as tools and are still part of the architecture of our homes today. Based on these techniques and reiterating the interconnection between people and nature, Trees Arquitetura designed this house, which will function, during the event, as the office of the entertainment platform Aviva. In 109 m², reforested wood, clay vases and chandeliers, as well as sisal and recycled leather rugs, make up a cozy environment.

Henrique Oliveira brings to the exhibition the work Memento Habilis (2023), an artistic installation of organic forms that resemble plants and animals, without, however, defining themselves as such. Made from wood waste from siding and construction sites, Oliveira challenges the dichotomy between natural and architectural space, between nature and human. Pedro Ariel Santana , who is part of the curatorial team, also joins Rodrigo Ambrósio in the collective exhibition Ecos Armoriais , which brings together 25 artists from the northeastern hinterland who, 50 years after the beginning, keep alive the flame of the Armorial Movement, founded by Ariano Suassuna in 1970, with the intention of creating authentic Brazilian art based on popular roots. Upon access to the space, the ceramist from Piauí Fátima Campo s shows two new works from the Casulos and Marimbondos series.

Sustainability and social impact


A fundamental part of CASACOR's DNA, sustainability continues to be not only the biggest trend in the segment, but the driving force of the entire exhibition, which has reached surprising levels with its waste management program, which today has a mark of 99.7 % reuse. In addition to adopting measures such as dry works, saving and reusing water resources, energy savings, selective collection, a recycling program and an adequate disposal for waste promoting the circular economy, the exhibition also makes donations of construction materials resulting from the dismantling of the event to NGOs.
Studio Ro+Ca - Loft Celmar - 2064. Project by CASACOR São Paulo 2024. Studio Ro+Ca - Loft Celmar - 2064. Combining ancestry and technology, leaving a memory for the day after tomorrow: this idea gave rise to the proposal by the trio of architects Rodrigo Beze, Carlos Carvalho and Caio Carvalho. “We materialized our ideas in a capsule space imagined to be tailored for today or 40 years from now”, they explain. The contrast between rustic materials and modern ones is highlighted by the kitchen countertop, which combines stainless steel and rough stone in an unconventional way. An opening in the ceiling brings more natural light to the 193 m² loft filled with furniture from the Carvalho brothers’ design line.
