Rustic style in decoration: the use of raw materials at CASACOR

01/12 - CASACOR Santa Catarina. Unilux Basement - Beatriz Zeglin, Mariana Maisonnave, Arthur Lins, Felipe Finger and Vitor Sadowski. A basement, a redefined space. Revealed in layers during the restoration process, the gloom gives way to lights that enhance the preservation of the listed property. Solid brick walls and arches reveal the construction techniques of the time – contrasted with concrete retaining walls and a sofa that permeates and integrates the environment. (Mariana Boro)

02/12 - CASACOR Espírito Santo. Cosmopolitan Escape - Italla Monti and Solana Marianelli. From sensorial to high-tech, several concepts come together in a living room that is ideal for relaxing and gathering people. The cosmopolitan tone comes from the contrast between materials, such as wood, burnt cement, stones and metallic finishes. The furniture selection is meticulous and includes the Hug sofa by Solana Marianelli and the Mush glass coffee tables by Jader Almeida. The artworks are curated by Lara Brotas, from Galeria Matias Brotas, and feature works by Antonio Bokel, Yuri Seródio and Rosana Paste. (Felipe Araújo)

03/12 - CASACOR São Paulo. Casa Sumê | LG Connected Space - Gustavo Neves. The architect is known for his raw, visceral style, which uses materials such as straw, leather and stones. The raw atmosphere is undoubtedly rustic, but in an unexpected way. (Divulgação)

04/12 - CASACOR Pernambuco. Café Santa Clara - Sandra Bione Arquitetura. The café promotes an experience in which visitors can take time to enjoy the flavors and enjoy the moment. There are 40 m² of sustainability and appreciation of hospitality, which also features works by artist Anna Guerra. (Denilson Machado)

05/12 - CASACOR Bahia. Cravo e Canela Bungalow – Jéssica Araújo. The contrast between the rough, industrial materials and the greenery that invades the space provides a unique experience for the occupant. José Paulo’s leather installation reveals the architect’s predilection for regional artists and completes the rustic and hybrid atmosphere. (Gabriela Daltro)

06/12 - CASACOR Rio Grande do Sul 2019. Mineral Studio and Plant With Me - Essence Store. Designed for an essence store, the space showcases a contemporary language with the painting Algozes V by Christus Nóbrega. The raw ceramics and landscaping indicate the natural aspect of the materials, in contrast to the technological and industrial materials marked by the color white. (Jomar Bragança)

07/12 - CASACOR Rio Grande do Sul. Nature Suite - Fernanda Paim and Elisa Martins. The professionals designed the space inspired by ballet, which seems to be a paradox with the rustic style. However, it is the rustic materials, such as demolition bricks on the burnt cement walls, that give the space a cozy feel. (Cristiano Bauce)

08/12 - CASACOR São Paulo. Casa Moysés - Triart Arquitetura. The protagonist is biriba, a twisted wood. It appears on the screen and makes up the panels that divide the spaces. The irregular shapes of the wood give texture and a rustic linearity to the space, which also features crystals in the decoration. (Divulgação)

09/12 - CASACOR Rio de Janeiro. Estúdio Elã - Toca Arquitetura. There are many references to Ney Matogrosso in the space created in his honor. Some are very subtle, such as the feeling of freedom in the integration between bedroom, living room and kitchen. The reddish terracotta tone is affectionate, sensual and at the same time represents the strong connection with nature. The kitchen is unpretentious, with open shelves, hanging objects and a large central island. (André Nazareth)

10/12 - CASACOR Brasília. VI+LA project by Moroshima and Priscila Gerardi - Pausa e Prosa. The space houses a café and invites people to feel at home, especially through the choice of welcoming and affectionate tones. The highlight is the terracotta walls, a rustic choice that refers to the ancestral nature of the buildings. (Jomar Bragança)

11/12 - CASACOR Paraíba 2019. It Lavatories - Adelle Mendes, Raphaela Vilar and Elba Araújo. Iron, metal and oxidized steel were the materials chosen by the architects to create a lavatory with the same contemporary style as the It Club. Colorful doors and industrial-style pendants sit side by side with greenery and golden elements. The entire set is immersed in a scent of wet earth. (Divulgação)

12/12 - CASACOR Brasília. Pied-à-Terre - Silvana Albuquerque and Luisa Albuquerque. The French expression means “down to earth” and refers to a small apartment or a temporary second home. In this setting, the wood (from reforestation) and the stone wall bring a rustic and cozy touch to the elegant design of the furniture. (Jomar Bragança)
