“Pandemic” “uncertainty” “new normal”. The words seem to echo in everyone’s minds right now. After several months of social isolation, it’s natural to wonder what the future will be like. Will cities, buildings, and homes be able to adapt to the our new habits? While the doors remain closed, CASACOR has proposed an innovative project: a glimpse into the future of living. Janelas CASACOR is a true creative and reflective exercise, with the aim of making tangible concepts and ideas of those who think about the house, transforming all of this into solutions. The best professionals in the area were invited to the challenge of creating a container that reflected an aspect of this new time. These spaces will be spread throughout Brazil, so that everyone can contemplate the windows of the houses of tomorrow. “For CASACOR , 2020 is not a lost year. It is a turning point. Of great reflections and of showing the creativity of the entire team. It is the first time in 34 years that the event does not take place and we have learned that every crisis brings opportunity to do something new. New ideas, new paths, a new project emerge. The proposal for the Janelas project emerges to show that it is possible to translate the spirit of CASACOR into formats beyond the traditional, maintaining the brand's personality while proposing something unprecedented for the segment”, explains Livia Pedreira, Managing Director. Brasília is the first city to receive containers from Janelas CASACOR . Based on the idea that we are spending more time at home, check out what proposals architects and designers have come up with for the post-pandemic period.

Therefore, clean decorations, such as Miguel Gustavo's Sleeping Box , and Estar em Entrequadra House Architects are trending. In them, each object is thought out, useful and meaningful. In addition to the aesthetic aspect, minimal environments are more practical when it comes to cleaning, therefore more convenient.

Workspaces

The most obvious trend to be incorporated into new homes is the workspace. Whether in the form of an entire room, or just a space with a computer and desk, the home office is the reality for thousands of workers. However, this environment does not It doesn't have to be boring, quite the opposite. It’s important for offices, especially those at home, to be stimulating and comfortable. Architect Leo Romano breaks expectations with his Office Afeto , a home office with the personality of its occupant represented in the details.

Decompression spaces

For this reason, architects and designers foresee the need for places of true decompression and relaxation incorporated into homes. Spas, bathrooms and small retreats bring for the resident a little valuable calm.

Shopping malls, concerts and cinemas are still restricted activities, so homes also need to be places of work, as well as places of socializing and entertainment. The projects: CARADECASA , by Zardo Arquitetura; Infinito Particular , by Alf Arquitetura and Family Space , by MAAI Arquitetos Associados, presents places where a resident or an entire family can chat, video conference with friends, or simply settle down on the sofa and browse social media.

From a historical perspective, the kitchen has increasingly entered the domestic nucleus, ceasing to be a shed for employees and becoming an integrated part of the living space.
