[galeria-abril id="81760" type="slider" showtitle="false" data-restrict="false"] Minas Gerais is all about hospitality, art, nature, good food and an irresistible accent. In addition to these traditions, there is a very important historical, architectural and landscape heritage. These and other attractions are present in body and soul in the 59 spaces of CASACOR Minas Gerais , which is celebrating its 25th edition in grand style. In total, 94 professionals from architecture, interior design and landscaping are participating. In 2019, the chosen headquarters is the famous Palácio das Mangabeiras, inaugurated in 1955 to be the official residence of the governors of Minas Gerais. Its initial design was designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, with gardens planned by landscaper Roberto Burle Marx. The listed complex is located at the foot of the Serra do Curral, which is the main feature of the landscape that embraces the environments.

Simple and welcoming

How many stories have been told in those gardens and rooms? A place for major events, meetings and receptions, the Palace welcomes the 59 rooms of CASACOR Minas Gerais to bring new narratives. Without forgetting to value restored details, such as the walls covered in Riga pine and the flooring in peroba parquet. National design enhances each setting, from Jorge Zalszupin to Sergio Rodrigues, in the company of international names such as Ferrucio Laviani, Flos, Vitra. Simplicity - which sometimes leans towards minimalism - guides many projects and reinforces the importance of good design and precise choices. Welcoming and natural textures create spaces that are designed to welcome guests, such as wood, linen fabrics and leather. Local materials, such as soapstone, could not be left out. Sustainable ideas are constantly emerging, such as the ubiquitous eco-granite, water-saving equipment and drier, cleaner construction practices.

Nature and tropicalism

Houses that float in the landscape and blend in with the eucalyptus forest also draw attention to the presence-absence of transparencies. The permanent connection between landscaping and architecture is fundamental in this edition, in which Burle Marx's work is recreated and revered in so many ways, in tropicalism and in Brazilian species. In this edition, the tradition and culture contained in Palácio das Mangabeiras and in Minas Gerais dialogue with traits of contemporary culture in global times, and this is what guarantees one of the most emblematic CASACOR Minas Gerais .
