01/09 - Weaving Architecture - Casa Duraplik. The craftsmanship, together with sustainable materials, give a touch of Brazilianness to the project, which forms a tropical landscaping when combined with the tree that already existed in the space. The proposal is to create a home that welcomes, embraces and rests. The highlight is the Duraplik coverings, which provide refinement to the environment. The details invite you to a moment of rest, while the luminosity of the environment creates an atmosphere of freshness, well-being, warmth and relaxation. (Esdras Guimarães)
02/09 - Milena Holanda - SPA Deca. A refuge for a much-needed break from the immediacy and fatigue of everyday life. This is where Spa Deca came from, a space designed to bring out the sensations. The textures, the smells, the sounds, the cozy lighting, the sober color palette… Everything encourages you to move your eyes more slowly, your breathing to be more controlled and slow, and your walk through the space to be slower. The plants bring well-being and the furniture and metals were designed to convey tranquility and heighten the senses. (Esdras Guimarães)
03/09 - Lia Sampaio and Erasmo Pereira - Casa Malta B&S Home Natuzzi. Casa Malta means “safe haven”. The archipelago located in the Mediterranean Sea was the inspiration for an environment that brings lightness, uniformity and welcoming, without giving up charm and elegance in every detail. Touches of Brazilianness are present in the architecture, furniture and landscaping, with transparency and fluidity standing out. The beach house, located in a gated community, allows you to find yourself, but also opens the doors to coexistence and contemplation of moments, people and life. The integration between the spaces is the heart of the house, from the pool and the outdoor area, to the integrated kitchen and the wine cellar. (Esdras Guimarães)
04/09 - Lara Sousa and Paloma Estrela - Janela de Memórias. The dining room is a multifunctional space for entertaining, socializing and living. The architects debut at CASACOR Ceará with a playful, functional and personality-filled space for two children between the ages of 4 and 7. The name is a connection with the theme of the edition of the show and reflects both Lara's relationship with her two children and scenes from Paloma's childhood. The large window with light and soft colors is the highlight of the project and acts as a screen, illuminating and organically enveloping the space, in addition to tracing the paths between playing, sleeping, studying and the other daily activities of the children.

05/09 - Joana Figueirêdo - Meu Íntimo Lavabo. Much more than a lavabo, a living space to connect with yourself, contemplating your own soul. The style of the space arose from the idea of materializing the personality and temperament of the inspiring woman who lives there. With lightness and delicacy, the space conveys fluidity and movement. The curves represent femininity, while imposing and unique elements symbolize character and a strong personality. The space reflects the energy and 90 years of history and legacy, perpetuated by the women descendants of Némora Britto Figueirêdo, Nena. (Esdras Guimarães)
06/09 - Lina Eleutério and Liana Meireles - Lavabo Origens. Using the infinity symbol to design the project's shapes, the architects created curved cabins. The idea is to bring the coziness of grandma's house to the show, using simple and easily accessible materials, such as brick, tile and metal. Technology and tradition are combined in the internal and external coverings and the lighting brings focal points of light that enhance the architecture and objects. The curved wall of the main façade has a bench and a reflecting pool, transforming it into a place of calm and contemplation. Pendant lights at different heights and lots of vegetation are the project's strong points. (Esdras Guimarães)
07/09 - Natália Medeiros - Nina's Garden. Joy, serenity and connection with nature gave rise to a delicate space, full of life and color, with shades of pink and pastel green conveying serenity. The animal wallpaper adds a childlike touch and the woodwork is easily complemented by other materials, providing an extra cozy feel to the space. Highlights include the velvety finish of the beige wall and the natural light, which can be replaced by indirect and intimate lighting. The idea of the project is to grow with the baby, with elements that can be adapted to their future needs and desires. (Esdras Guimarães)
08/09 - Manoela Corrêa - Collector's Suite. The space was created for a sophisticated, discreet couple who appreciates good art, has a delicate and refined taste for culture and who enjoys traveling. The spaces are integrated and versatile, interacting with each other. Residents have countless possibilities for rest and relaxation. The use of natural materials, such as wood on the floor and in the carpentry, the straw on the headboard and the unpolished stone, reinforces the concept and contributes to providing comfort. (Esdras Guimarães)
09/09 - Iully Maia - Laura's Suite. The TikToker Laura is the guest of honor in this space, which reflects the teenage universe. The strong color right at the entrance, where the vanity and study table are located, features an original, organic-shaped mirror. The closet follows the open concept, inspired by influencers, as does the bathroom. In the spa style, it has lighting directed to the edges, focusing on the counter and bathtub. The romantic touch is given by the regional headboard and natural materials, such as linen and straw. The colorful and variously shaped pillows represent the young woman's childish side.
