A bathroom designed for relaxation and releasing negative energy was the proposal of Bianca da Hora with Haman SPA . The architect took advantage of the natural light in the room and played with colors and textures to create the composition. In metals, the cortein finish, by Deca , gives an air of sophistication that contrasts with the simplicity of the natural stones, linen and furniture in neutral tones.
Architects Beto Figueiredo and Luiz Almeida innovated in their Deca Bathroom project. With long green curtains combined with classic elements, such as the marble bathroom that would have belonged to Empress Teresa Cristina, the project inspires elegance and refinement. In the center of the space, a jabuticaba tree was planted to bring nature into the project and plays with the cycle of life, since the water – which seems to come out of the trunk – is also reused for irrigation.
The Guest Suite was designed by Angela Leite Barbosa and Daniel Marques Mendes . The goal was to create a room with a contrast between the new and the old. The house already had palatial elements, and all of them were preserved. The idea was to include more minimalist furniture to integrate the décor in a subtle way. The Portuguese tiles fit well, and also created a perfect connection with the plants on the wall.
Urban Jungle is a strong trend and was not left aside in Bianca da Hora 's project. The final touch to the space was to include more cave-like plants that bring a true connection with nature during the moment of rest.
Art and architecture have always gone hand in hand, and in this case, in the project by Estúdio Manu + Ca Manu Cardim + Cataria Gouvêa , this is evident. Lavado e Galeria , as the name suggests, makes an interesting mix of colors and textures and incorporates beautiful pieces of art for a more playful look that plays with different eras and styles.
