01/45 -

Ney Lima - Casa Capital. The presence of technology in the home flows in this wall-free space, which establishes an organic connection between the living room, bedroom, bathroom and closet in 92 m². The modular sofa and furniture by Jader Almeida allow for various compositions, and this is the intention. To maintain privacy in the bathroom, the ultra-thin display inserted between two sheets of glass becomes transparent or opaque when activated. In the background, the highlight is the 21 m² LED panel with images of nature.

Walléria Teixeira - DECA Kitchen. Divided into a gourmet space and a living room, the 100 m² space reflects a modern and minimalist-inspired style. Through the essentials, it promotes physical and emotional interaction with the public. Gray extends from the wooden floor to the walls, forming the light and welcoming base of the space, along with other textures, such as linen and leather. In the foreground, the Mush pendant light is by designer Jader Almeida.

Orla Studio by Carla Monza and Isabella Souza - Handmade. The 100 m² space breathes design, fashion and craftsmanship. Whoever thought the place looked like a museum store was right on target. This was the inspiration for this simple and dynamic project, which creates a flexible architectural experience with the optional use of walls and prefabricated modules that adapt to the products and space used in practice.

Mauro Barros - Jardim Oásis. Mauro was interested in the deserts of Mexico and Phoenix, in the United States, which inspired the 220 m² space. Here, existing jabuticaba trees mix with new species. Some of them are housed in Mendo Barreto's ceramic pots, found in the backlands of Ceará. Draining floors and a floor made of soil-cement, without the use of washed sand, are practical and sustainable options. Another detail is the old wrought-iron headboard, used as the back of the Mexican-style bench. It is reminiscent of adobe buildings, plastered with the help of hands.

Roberto Lecomte and Sheila Beatriz - Terraço Amazônia CIPEM. The work developed by the Center for Timber Producing and Exporting Industries of Mato Grosso is honored in the project, which is essentially made from Amazonian wood. Several pieces were prefabricated, without the use of hardware, which allows for quick assembly and disassembly and almost zero waste generation. The glass enclosures and roof maximize the entry of natural light.

06/45 -

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. Terracotta is one of them and is used in an unusual way, adding color to the metalwork. Other elements bring back memories of the 1960s. Among them are the slate floor, the rounded furniture and the wood-effect MDF.

Karla Amaral - Lounge Metrópoles. The monochrome concrete covering the entire space was enhanced by the color red in specific elements, in addition to highlighting important pieces by Oscar Niemayer, Jorge Zalszupin, Ricardo Fasanello and Zanini Caldas. The brise-soleil installation was developed by the architect herself, forming a panel that creates a beautiful play of light and shadow.

08/45 -

Deborah Pinheiro - Casa Finitura. The starting point was to enhance the original features of the house designed by Oscar Niemayer. The existing concrete structure was reinterpreted with contemporary materials that reference modernism, such as the cement flooring and walls. Wood also covers most of the surfaces, while touches of aquamarine green add lightness to the details in the 307 m² space.

Larissa Dias - Our Nook. The 128 m² space brings people together and reconnects with nature. Super bright, it has walls and ceiling heated by wooden panels. On the ceiling, the tensioned screen acts on the lighting and brings natural light. Poufs, blankets and pillows in raffia and fibers make up a comfortable seating area, where there is also an irresistible hammock. In it, the hammocks were fixed to wooden logs, supported on the pebble floor. The beige cement slabs remind us of the sand on the floor.

10/45 -

Angela Castilho & Alex Rodrigues - Lounge Bar. The duo returns to the exhibition with the Lounge Bar, a 220 m² living space. The professionals were inspired by the dry climate of the Cerrado to create an environment with wooden trunks, rustic textures, warm tones, bamboo, sand, clay, stones and linen and cotton fabrics. The Wabi Sabi philosophy is the major trend presented, in which authentic beauty, simplicity and elements in their most natural state gain strength and protagonism. The bar, which houses Mosaico, by chef Paulo Tarso, is intimate, minimalist and cozy.

11/45 -

STUDIOVRM by Rafael Motta and Victor Milani - Casa Aromas. The open bookshelf and cobogó wall facilitate cross ventilation and the spread of essences in the 37 m² space. The style was inspired by the boho atmosphere, in a natural and uncluttered setting that uses raw wood, caramel leather and touches of green in harmony with the plants.

27- Lounge PS - Studio Arch+ - credit Jomar Bragança
12/45 -

Studio Arch + by Renata Vieira, Juliana Velloso and Laísa Figueiredo - PS Lounge. With references to minimalist architecture, the 120 m² space is defined by its pure and straight shapes. Some pieces of furniture break the austerity of the lines and the lean color palette, such as the organically shaped sofas and the fun Peacock armchair in blue, designed by Dror Benshetrit for Cappellini. The original wooden floorboards were restored on site.

29 – Living Space - Elaine Verçosa _ Yeda Garcia - credit Jomar Bragança (4)
13/45 -

Elaine Verçosa and Yeda Garcia - Living Space. The Eastern philosophy of Wabi Sabi extols the beauty of elements considered imperfect. With this starting point, the architects used materials such as perforated metal sheets and covered large surfaces in gold, without excessive finishing.

14/45 -

Vivian Maia - Public Restroom. The classic French style is given a contemporary twist with gold details, velvet-effect paint and boiseries. The 20 m² space appears larger thanks to the choice of light colors, the strategically placed mirror and the identical covering applied to the wall and floor. A wooden slat also demarcates the washbasin area.

15/45 -

Adriana Vasconcelos, Flávia Araújo and Flávia Carvalho - Estar Lá Fora. Winter in the cerrado, the earthy tones and the rustic texture of its nature inspired the garden, which has a scenographic and intimate aesthetic to welcome the visitor. Articulated in warm colors and textures, in nuances of brown and the natural green of vertical gardens, the space proposes a reconnection with nature. Its tortuous trunks and geometric watercourses are conceptual and reinforce an innovative style.

16/45 -

Cybele Barbosa + Arquitetos Associados - Casa Dell Anno. The dynamic of the reception area inspires the spacious 110 m², facilitated by the integration between the spaces. A pebble panel stands out, stones normally used on the floor, but which surprise when placed on the wall. Lacquer, wood and porcelain are the predominant materials, also present in the recycled elements from the previous year, and which, due to the finish and their easy-to-remove assembly modules, can be reused after the show.

17/45 -

Studio Ark - HOME. Vintage pieces and contemporary design come together in this 62 m² space, which reveals its modernist inspiration in its bold shapes and punctual colors, in a minimalist style of living that values the little things. The slate floor in the shape of a parquet floor, the volume and textures of the bathroom, with a structure formed by gabion stone, are eye-catching. The art is provided by photographs by Fernanda Naman, paintings by Sando Gos and a sculpture by Paula Juchem.

18/45 -

Rosana Brasil and Lara Trajano - Chocolate Shop. With 27m², with a jewelry concept, chocolate is displayed as something rare and special. The light wood of the furniture forms a very modern base together with the cement texture. The cocoa farm where the product is produced, located in a preserved area of the Atlantic Forest, served as inspiration for the use of vegetation, inserted in the furniture in niches and suspended on the metalwork shelf.

18 – Mirrors of the Soul – Estar das Artes - Helio Albuquerque and Sonia Peres - credit Jomar Bragança
19/45 -

Helio Albuquerque and Sonia Peres - Mirrors of the Soul. In honor of João Caetano, the space is full of simple memories and affection, in which each piece and detail plays a prominent role. The honoree's passion for art and design was the great inspiration, a reflection of his good life through references such as Oscar Niemeyer, Lina Bo Bardi and Jorge Zalszupin. Highlight is the covering on the walls, in which the porcelain tiles emerge from the floor like a large panel of metal profiles, resulting in a unique design.

20/45 -

Gustavo Barone – Home. With 45m², the space brings an Asian feeling with a hint of minimalism. He walks through the familiar textures of wood and stone, in environments that connect with sliding panels. Highlight is the gabled ceiling with scissors, which refers to a traditional and rustic house.

21/45 -

Studio Freijó by Nathalie Tramontini and Thalita Gonçalves - Loft Una. The 42 m² space focuses on an independent woman, combining natural elements and technology, without resorting to futuristic airs. Quite the opposite. The layout is open, with few walls, and uses neutral colors and wood to create a sense of visual organization. The hexagonal porcelain tiles in a cement tone brighten the space, applied from the floor to the walls. The bathroom occupies the smart glass box, which transforms from transparent to opaque, and the lighting on the ceiling is reminiscent of a skylight.

22/45 -

Casulo by Anna Albano and Camila Abrahão - Subsersivo Lavabo. The architects are the winners of the 7th São Geraldo CASACOR Brasília Young Professional Award and took over the 44 m² space. It has only two coverings, tiles and mirrors, and there is no distinction between the floor and ceiling of the space - one seems to reflect the other. In the center of the space, the internal garden separates the women's bathroom from the men's bathroom, establishing another symmetrical axis.

Leo Romano - Galeria Só Reparos. The 300 m² space was built over the old swimming pool. The tour begins under the house's awning, with objects created by the architect and artist Ieda Jardim. Between bricks and white elements, the path runs through minimalist architecture. The free layout is accentuated by light colors, few pieces of furniture and objects that contrast with the natural elements of the place. At the end of the journey, Leo provokes desire and defines an intense, introspective and peaceful atmosphere.

Choque Arquitetura e Design - Living Casapark. Openwork architectural elements of different shapes and proportions take over the 177 m² space, composed of a color palette that ranges from brown, through green and blue, to gray. The furniture revisits the history of Brasília and highlights contemporary Brazilian design. Exposed concrete and stone benches join artistic installations, such as the openwork mirror sculpture that gives visitors the impression of blending into the space. A new work of art by artist Christus Nóbrega crowns the space, as does the grandstand inspired by the design of Burle Marx.

25/45 -

Paisagem Studio - Urban Landscape. Inspired by the High Line park in New York, the space combines external and internal elements in an urban atmosphere reinforced by the suspended walls with graffiti. In this space, design, landscaping and art harmonize, in a philosophy that believes in valuing the city's assets as the first step towards raising awareness in favor of environmental preservation.

26/45 -

Juliane Vargas and Tainá Moi - Best of Us Studio. Finding beauty in simplicity, a principle of the Japanese wabi sabi concept, is crucial for the studio. The philosophy that values the imperfect is translated into natural, unpretentious elements, in 83 m² monochromatically colored. There are a total of six environments that encourage slow living, with emphasis on the paint on the walls made from recycled rubble sand, the stone scraps on the kitchen countertops, the reused furniture and the bamboo lamps and bicycle.

21 – Bathroom S Two - Studio 2 by Alex Claver and Wilker Medeiros - credit Jomar Bragança (3)
27/45 -

Studio 2 by Alex Claver and Wilker Medeiros - Bathroom S Dois. The duo visited the city of Tulum, on the coast of Mexico, and from there came the beginning of this 70 m² space. The coastal mood comes from the combination of sand-toned porcelain tiles, the bamboo-lined ceiling and the use of wood and straw in the accessories. The handcrafted pieces highlight the production of various regions of the country, such as the wooden sculpture made exclusively for the project.

28/45 -

Alf Arquitetura - On/Off Loft by Criare. Proof that it is possible to create a comfortable and relaxing environment without giving up technology, the project balances the concepts of connection and disconnection that are necessary in contemporary times. In the 125 m², natural elements such as wood, straw and natural stone provide a counterpoint to a video wall. Further reinforcing the naturalness, the bathroom has an integrated garden and a water feature.

29/45 -

Thales Zago and Mara Magalhães - Garagem Ella. 144 m² dedicated to her – the woman, the project's great inspiration. Modern, a lover of art and four wheels, this woman is interpreted through natural textures, such as stones and wood veneers, and landscaping, which brings the space to life. Marble elements share space with Brazilian design, organized beyond gender standards.

30/45 -

Ângela Cambraia Arquitetura - Sossego Room. An invitation to tranquility, the room is designed as a universe far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a haven of calm and rest. The furniture ranges from contemporary to vintage, and features pieces from the architect's own personal collection. Soft colors such as light blue and ecru give the composition a light feel, combined with natural materials such as linen, stone, wood and straw. Special attention should be paid to a German rocking chair and a kneeler, both from the 19th century.

Ciccarini.Januzzi - Influencer Girl's Suite. Aimed at children of this generation, the room has an automation system to keep the little influencer always connected. The star of the room is the suspended bed, which gives the impression of floating and has a cobogó as a headboard. Pink appears in various shades, and provides a backdrop for the study bench, which has a monitor with a lift and organizes a multifunctional space.

RARE Architecture Studio and Sandra Russomano Arquitetura - Espaço Semente. With 90 m², the environment has a scenography that stimulates children's imagination, like an enchanted universe made by hand. The furniture was developed especially for the exhibition. Highlights include the MDF used as a blackboard, the vegetation made from more than two thousand sheets of hand-cut paper and the gourmet space inside the wooden house.

Choque Arquitetura e Design - Ticket Office. The large glass openings arouse the curiosity of visitors who are welcomed by an inviting space inspired by the concept of biophilia. Plants and cozy furniture make waiting at the ticket office a pleasant moment. The duo composed of Dimitri Lociks and Simone Turíbio chose modern coverings, such as porcelain and synthetic surfaces, to interact with the automated lighting that changes according to the movement of people. In the 90 m², other materials are also found, such as mirrored glass, steel, wooden carpet and aluminum profiles. Highlight goes to the scenic ceiling, formed with wooden pieces.

Marina Pimentel, Eduardo Sainz and Lilian Glayna Sainz - Pavilhão São Geraldo. The 680 m² space connects nature with the urban, mixing Sainz's straight-line architecture with the dense vegetation of Marina Pimentel's landscaping. The idea was to create an almost labyrinthine route and loose benches. They slow down their walking and gaze to contemplate the broad leaves, the lightness of the bamboo, the huge Flamboyants that exist. The geometric paths were covered in dark porcelain tiles, exactly to contrast with the intense green.

35/45 -

Studio Gontijo Arquitetura e Interiores - Planeta Brasília. Architect Gabriela Gontijo designed the 145m² space, prioritizing comfort and technology without losing the connection with the history of Brasília. The space is a mix of office, lounge, sales stand, living room and dining room, all with a residential feel. Pivoting mashrabiya panels integrate the spaces while providing privacy to the different areas. Carefully chosen vegetation, a reflecting pool, natural light, suspended marble benches and Brazilian-designed furniture complete the setting.

36/45 -

Elder Galvão - AVIVA Lounge. Water, sea and nature are the inspirations for the design of this 90m² space. The space explores beauty and simplicity with sophistication. The furniture, developed by great international designers such as Philippe Starck, is transparent, giving a light feel in contrast with the colorful walls and lighting. A three-meter-long aquarium is the main feature of the space. Works of art by national artists such as Sonia Menna Barreto and methacrylate paintings by photographer Bento Viana complete the composition.

37/45 -

Lez Arquitetura - Entre.Quadros Gallery. The sunset in Brasília, captured by Bento Viana, was the inspiration for the design of the space. With 85 m², the space is composed of bright colors and earthy tones. The artistic curator is the photographer himself, who has his works exhibited there. The project goes beyond the obvious with the use of colors on the floor, ceiling and walls. The floor, in fact, is covered with two models of porcelain tiles in five different colors.

Miguel Gustavo - Cine Gourmet - CLX. Technology is the main element of the environment, which includes a cinema room and a gourmet kitchen for meetings and light meals. The 129 m² are fully equipped with impactful lighting, which contrasts with natural textures and materials such as stone and wooden coverings. Automation allows the 5x3 meter LED screen to broadcast programming with films and television programs throughout the exhibition.

39/45 -

Choque Arquitetura e Design - Façade. The traditional modernism of Brasilia and the building designed by Borsoi inspired the project conceived by designer Dimitri Lociks and architect Simone Turíbio. The duo used glass and porcelain tiles to cover the exterior. The various openings in the structure ensure the entry of natural light.

07 – Gabbro Loft - Guel Architects - credit Jomar Bragança (3)
40/45 -

Guel Arquitetos - Loft Gabbro. Raw materials find a lighter interpretation in this loft, arranged within hollow metal structures. This technique, in addition to having a low construction cost, has little environmental impact. The 90 m² of the space was designed in a minimalist way and with contemporary furniture. Only a few pieces stand out, such as the gabion wall, which divides the spaces and gives the setting an unusual permeability.

41/45 -

Mauro Barros and Mendo Barreto – Jardim Bosque das Jabuticabas. The duo of landscape architects created a backyard in this 560 m² area. It harks back to the days of childhood, when people would climb trees to pick fruit and play. Reclaimed wood creates solid furniture in the living room. And, around it, the jabuticaba trees on the land meet species such as Rabo de Raposa palms and clusias.

42/45 -

Entrequadra Arquitetos by Bárbara Alvarenga, Deborah Torres and Rafaela Gravia - Party room and wine bar. The professionals laid their foundations on the characteristics of the cerrado, its variety, color and plurality. This resulted in a welcoming feeling and appreciation of the presence of nature in the 490 m². Another welcoming option is the glass wine bar, which is more reserved and brings a contemporary touch to the place.

43/45 -

Priscila Gabriel - Arauco Restaurant. The architect looked around and chose as her starting point the elements of the building designed by Oscar Niemeyer and the mood of the 1970s. She looked for furniture in antique shops, made up of items by Sérgio Rodrigues, Joaquim Tenreiro and Liceu Arte e Ofício, with an air of of nostalgia. The space is open to the garden and looks like a balcony, with hollow wooden panels providing natural light. Highlights include the 230 m² slab and all restored pillars, making the material from Casa da Manchete, from 1978, present again.

44/45 -

Silvana Albuquerque and Luisa Albuquerque - Pied-à-Terre. The French expression means “down to earth” and refers to a small apartment or a temporary second home. The important thing is to be cozy, like in this 108 m² apartment. There are practically no walls or pillars, but openings for light and elements that create connections. One of them is the rustic stone panel that visually unites the living room, bedroom and bathroom. The living room has a sloping ceiling with acoustic lining made of reforested wood. The furniture includes classic pieces by national and international designers, such as Ricardo Fasanello and Jorge Zalszupin.

45/45 -

Helaine Caloête - Loft Essência. Measuring 120m², the space is entirely focused on integrating with the garden. On the longest wall, Lucerna stone, brought from Rio de Janeiro, prolongs contact with nature, with the texture accentuated by the lighting. The other surfaces have other stone finishes, and the ceiling is covered in wood. The space dispenses with partitions and reveals a preference for looser structures, such as the curved lacquered slatted wall that makes the room more private.

(Jomar Bragança)
CASACOR Brasília reaches its 28th edition in 2019 inspired by Oscar Niemeyer 's curves at Casa Manchete. The building, built in 1978 to house the Brasília headquarters of the now-defunct magazine and TV station of the same name, is reinvigorated for another year by receiving the exhibition's spaces and innovations. This time, there are 45 spaces distributed across 8,000 square meters of area, with self-confessed inspiration from the theme Planet Home . The 69 professionals, each in their own way, related affection, sustainability and technology, presenting trends - and without forgetting the important legacy of modernist architecture by Niemeyer and other great names.

Free plants of modernism


In the federal capital, modern architecture seems inevitable. Everywhere you look, there are several landmarks of this school in which Brazil is a world reference. This year, one of its main precepts, the open plan, is recurrent in most spaces. Walls and beams that separate and interfere give way to the fluidity and freedom of large spans. They inspire one of the great ideas of this edition, which are the integrated spaces that can be easily modified. Partitions and even smart glass are used in a specific way, if the desire is for privacy. It is the choice of furniture that will define environments and their uses, if still necessary. The main thing is to expand the possibilities of living, interacting and occupying spaces.

Integrated nature


Another advantage of the perspective of freer plants, well explored in the environments of CASACOR Brasília , is the creation of brighter and more open spaces. They are generally integrated with the nature that lives around the house, especially the old jabuticaba trees, preserved in the entirety of the landscaping projects as part of the affective memory of the place. As an extension of the house, nature also guided the choice of various materials, such as generous wooden panels, open elements that filter the light, linen and cotton fabrics. A visual repertoire that also approaches the cerrado biome, with its rawness that highlights one of the great paradoxes of nature, between fragility and resilience.

A look at the details


The beauty of the imperfect, extolled by the oriental concept of Wabi Sabi, inspires various environments and enhances the materials in their truest form. On the other hand, gold is gaining space in various finishes, but with a discreet proposal that revalues the tone. The mix of contemporary and vintage, especially from the 1960s and 1970s, is on the rise. And, of course, the use of concrete, an element so characteristic of Oscar Niemeyer's work, is strong.
