Modernist house comes to life with interiors full of art and design

Located in Curitiba (PR), between araucarias and humid breezes, this modernist residence of 580 m² was originally designed by architect Oscar Mueller, with a modern and timeless architecture, intended to interact with the tropical climate. The generous roof protects the masonry from rains, and the construction details - such as the delicate carpentry - allow the house to breathe.

Decades later, the Elmor Studio - from the cast of CASACOR Paraná - was invited to carry out the interior renovation, respecting the essence of the house, updating spaces and connections without breaking its original soul. The intervention did not impose - it simply revealed more clearly what the house already possessed.

The intervention reorganized the flows and tightened the links between inside and outside. The old service area gave way to a patio between the kitchen and the gourmet space. An engineered wood pergola and a retractable roof provide shade, comfort, and flexibility. The vegetation surrounds, breathes, and completes the architecture.

The new kitchen, integrated with the gourmet area, has become the heart of the house. The intimate sitting area was redesigned for the daughters, providing autonomy and comfort. The new annexes complete the existing construction, designed to celebrate permanence and gathering.

The property also serves as an art gallery: the resident collects stories - and each piece in her collection carries one. The walls, like skins, reveal layers of time. Among books, photographs, sculptures, and signed furniture, the composition is maximalist, yet never excessive.

Inside, the curation prevails and highlights Brazilian design in the furniture, as well as showcasing art pieces. There are works by Tomie Ohtake, Vik Muniz, Martin Chambi, Poty Lazzarotto, among many other great names.
