Marilia Zimmermann, Daniel Kroth and Renata Marques - SPA Deca. The project guides the visitor through a fluid path, in a sensory experience of welcome and relaxation, coming from visual stimuli. The inspiration for the project was the Salar de Uyuni, a salt desert in Bolivia, with surface design created by nature. The result is a climate of tranquility that invites contemplation.

Lighting, layout, finishes, and even fixtures have gained new possibilities, allowing for customizations according to the lifestyle of the residents.

In this context, the concept of modernity is not only related to appearance but also to functionality and sustainability. Durable and low-maintenance materials, integration of technologies like automatic faucets and smart showers, along with a design that prioritizes space optimization, are key characteristics.

The minimalist style values simplicity, organization, and absence of excess. In modern bathrooms, this translates into projects with straight lines, a neutral palette, and few visible elements. Shades of white, gray, and light wood are common, as well as the use of built-in cabinets, large mirrors, and natural lighting whenever possible.
The focus is on creating a functional and visually clean space that conveys tranquility. Even the decorative items are chosen sparingly — a small plant, a diffuser, or a candle is enough to add a touch of personality without compromising the essential discreet style.

Inspired by New York lofts and urban warehouses, the bathroom with industrial style brings personality and a robust aesthetic. Burnt cement is the most emblematic finish of this style, accompanied by dark metals, apparent lighting, and elements of steel or iron.
To balance the coldness of the materials, it is common to include natural wood in details, such as shelves or frames. The result is a bathroom with a strong identity, ideal for those seeking a modern, creative space that is a little off the conventional track.

Transforming the bathroom into a true relaxation space is the proposal of this model inspired by spas. Here, soft tones, diffused lighting, natural finishes, and a layout that favors comfort and tranquility prevail. Materials such as wood, travertine marble, and natural stones help create this atmosphere.
The presence of plants, scented candles, and even soaking tubs complements the sensory experience. It is a perfect choice for those who want the bathroom to be more than just a place for practical use — but rather a space for daily self-care.
Sheila Teodoro - Banho Público. Inspirado na tranquilidade de um SPA e na conexão profunda com a natureza, o banheiro foi concebido como um espaço de pausa, contemplação e bem-estar em meio ao urbano. O revestimento de bambu natural evoca aconchego e frescor, enquanto a bancada em granito reforça o aspecto artesanal. Plantas naturais, iluminação suave e sons da natureza criam um refúgio urbano. Unindo estética, sustentabilidade e funcionalidade, o ambiente transcende sua função convencional e se torna um espaço de renovação, onde a natureza e o design dialogam para criar uma experiência única e memorável.

Wood continues to be one of the most used materials in bathrooms modern when it is desired to create a welcoming project with an organic aesthetic. With the proper treatments against humidity, it can appear in countertops, cabinets, niches, and even in decorative panels.
Coupled with stones, plants, and natural fibers, wood promotes a balanced atmosphere between rustic and contemporary. This type of bathroom combines well with those who seek visual comfort and a touch of nature within the house.
Max Mello - Spa Deca. Estando em perfeita sintonia com a CASACOR há 24 anos, o arquiteto assina um espaço que segue a linha de materiais rústicos e possui uma pegada clean, com destaques para o lustre da lightdesigner Cristiane Bertolucci de tecido de algodão natural, que traz uma sensação de leveza. No centro do espaço, junto à sala de banho, foi posicionada uma banheira de imersão, que transformou o ambiente em um oásis particular, oferecendo um convite ao conforto. Para finalizar, a decoração mescla trabalhos da artista contemporânea Nardelli e peças de artesanato tradicional de dois artesãos da prainha de Vila Velha, que remetem à tradição étnica local.

Lighting plays a fundamental role in modern bathrooms, not only functional but also aesthetic. Investing in recessed lights, side sconces, and LED strips is a way to highlight volumes, enhance finishes, and create different atmospheres in the project.
In more sophisticated projects, lighting is planned in layers, with different intensities and color temperatures, providing ideal scenarios for relaxation, skincare, or quick use in daily life. In addition to enhancing the design, well-distributed light amplifies the space and elevates the experience of the project.

Modern bathrooms can also be cheerful and full of personality with the use of vibrant colors. Finishes in shades of blue, green, yellow, or pink bring dynamism and make the project unique. Colorful tiles, glazed ceramics, and even colored sanitary ware can compose this look.
To avoid heaviness, it is ideal to combine colors with neutral elements and simply designed furniture. Boldness in the palette is welcome, especially in sinks, but it can work in any bathroom with proper planning.

The proposal to integrate the bathroom with the bedroom is increasingly common in modern and customized suites. This configuration enhances the amplitude and promotes a sense of visual continuity between the projects. The division can be made with transparent glass, low walls, wood slats, or even without barriers.
The idea is for the two spaces to communicate harmoniously, maintaining practicality and comfort. For this, it is important to invest in good ventilation systems, low-maintenance materials, and a lighting project that meets the different functions of these connected projects.
