01/46 - Duda Porto - NAU. The building frames the beautiful view of Guanabara Bay and forms a large living room. It was built using only a few materials: mainly Brazilian stones and a metal structure that appears to float. The furniture features design classics by Sergio Rodrigues, Jader Almeida and Carlos Motta. The colors are predominantly green and gray, reproducing the colors of the space where the house is located. (André Nazareth)
02/46 - Mauricio Nóbrega - Deca Balcony. A dream come true is the 320 m² SPA balcony facing Guanabara Bay. The building's architecture provided inspiration for the project, which was inspired by buildings in resorts around the world. From inside, the view is of the pool that seems to merge with the sea. (André Nazareth)
03/46 - Alexandre Lobo and Fábio Cardoso - Premium Loft. With parquet floors, high ceilings and boiseries on the walls, the space was balanced with a contemporary ambiance. The aesthetic is minimalist and enhances circulation, with little furniture and a bold volume - the bathroom and kitchen surprise by occupying the central area. (André Nazareth)
04/46 - Claudia Pimenta and Patricia Franco - Oásis Carioca. Two balconies are connected to the living room, where you can enjoy the view of Praça Mauá, Guanabara Bay and the Museums of Tomorrow and Rio Art. It is no coincidence that the space is designed for contemplation. To create this atmosphere, the duo invested in white. Among the exclusive details are the metal profile shelves and the galvanized steel perforated sheet lamps. (André Nazareth)
05/46 - Deise Maturana - Gourmet Kitchen. The chef is the star of this kitchen designed to host gastronomic events. Everything he needs to work and live is around him: a collection of memories, utensils, flavors, smells, music. The furniture includes open shelves, cabinets, a wine cellar and plenty of countertops. In the background, a more intimate space with a patio for small meals. Elements in black metalwork, combined with glass and stone, symbolize Porto in transformation, giving the space an industrial and contemporary identity. (André Nazareth)
06/46 - Paula Neder and Coletivo PN+ - Estúdio HUM for Leroy Merlin. The space is designed for a naturally chic and laid-back chef, who lives close to the sea. Here, the high-low concept guides the mix of sophisticated pieces with affordable items. The lighting is simple and efficient, the coverings are easy to maintain and there are low-cost creative solutions throughout the space, without giving up on designer furniture. The artistic painting that takes over the ceiling and walls sums up the color palette of the project. (André Nazareth)
07/46 - Jacira Pinheiro - Casa DOA. Minimalism is the style chosen to highlight the essential: the home as a private temple. Few pieces of furniture and objects were arranged comfortably, combined with light colors and few partitions in the 90m² loft. Leather is used in the details of the upholstered furniture, and the plants help to bring even more life to the space. (André Nazareth)
08/46 - Mario Costa Santos - WineLiving. Air-conditioned as a wine cellar. Set as being. WineLiving is a space to welcome and enjoy good wine. The decor is cozy and versatile, with loose furniture that allows for different configurations. Inspired by ancient underground cellars, the highlights of the space are a large shelf that serves both to store wine and display other objects and the use of Matrix stone, with a volcanic appearance. It appears on a large carpet that serves as a tapestry running up the wall to the ceiling. And it also “invades” the coffee table, designed by the architect. (André Nazareth)
09/46 - Arc Studio Arquitetura - Archa Connect. This is a space for architects to connect and network. The office delves deep into the world of the profession, but presents a concise language as a result. The walls are a reference to mood boards, which are reference panels for architects. The furniture features pieces designed by Brazilian designers, including young talents. The relaxed ambiance accompanies the dynamic layout, which allows for different configurations. (André Nazareth)
10/46 - Lao Design and Planting Ideas - PORTODOSNÓS. The Rio way of being and living inspired the setting of this large living area. With playful experiences for people of all ages, the space celebrates outdoor life, whether by the house, the square, the sea or the river. “The project was designed to bring the feeling of welcome that we have at home to the outdoor space, which could be the living area of a condominium, a backyard or a public square”, explains architect Lao Napolitano. (André Nazareth)
11/46 - Cristina Côrtes and Claudia Sant'Ana - Loft for a Cycling Couple. With double-height ceilings and stunning sea views, this loft was designed for a young couple who love sports and are super connected to the world and the latest technology. The spaces are integrated and provide the comfort needed to live well. (André Nazareth)
12/46 - Paola Ribeiro - Cais Hall. For years, the pier welcomed those who arrived in the city. Here, the large 250 m² space continues its welcoming vocation. Crystal chandeliers wrapped in metal screens and pillars embraced by wood update the original architecture and further enhance the Art Deco style. The decor is geometric, playing with the shapes in the overlapping rugs and the symmetry of the spaces. Another key element is the latticework, which acts as dividers and to lower the ceiling. (André Nazareth)
13/46 - Sandro Ward - Jardim do Cais. A space for contemplating nature and human ingenuity, facing Guanabara Bay and the Museum of Tomorrow, with the Rio Niterói Bridge in the background. The classic Portuguese stone sidewalks inspired the garden of exotic plants. In the decor, nautical ropes and reclaimed wood create the mix that defines a light and colorful space. (André Nazareth)
14/46 - Lia Lamego - Fragrance Space. In the center of the store, the living room welcomes visitors and frees up circulation around it, where the modular shelves are located. With illuminated niches, they occupy the walls and enhance the products for sale. Another exclusive creation by the architect was the large rug, which helps preserve much of the original burnt cement floor. On the ceiling, wooden panels dilute the lighting and reduce the ceiling height, to bring comfort. (André Nazareth)
15/46 - Adriana Esteves and Mariana Junqueira - Docas Lounge. The space invites people to leave their own living rooms and socialize in this common space that could be in the lobby of a building, a shopping mall or even a museum. A very light curtain delimits the kitchen from the living room. The wooden shelves and plants make the scale of the space more welcoming. The furniture features pieces of Brazilian design. (André Nazareth)
16/46 - Mônica Gervásio - Wellness Loft. A loft with all the practicality that life in a big city demands. And also with all the comfort and comfort needed after another busy and stressful day. Architect Mônica Gervásio created a true refuge to recharge your batteries, with space for therapeutic treatments. The contemporary and practical décor features bold proposals such as the bathroom in the center of the room, and a color palette that focuses on natural elements: green, wood, stone and lots of light. (André Nazareth)
17/46 - Tripper Arquitetura - Bathroom Elements. The men's and women's bathrooms will be the only spaces that will remain after the event. Therefore, the option was to use durable and timeless elements, such as wood and Deca sinks with a simple design. The large mirror gains a new look with metalwork frames. Some of the coverings were made with recycled materials and handcrafted. (André Nazareth)

19/46 - Tripper Arquitetura - Bathroom Elements. The men's and women's bathrooms will be the only spaces that will remain after the event.

20/46 - Jean de Just - Beyond the Kitchen. Living, kitchen and laundry integrate social and service areas. Functional, the space reserves space for the vegetable garden and for bathing, toys and pet accessories. In the center, the island organizes circulation and is the highlighted element amidst the composition of warm colors, such as mustard on the walls and oak veneers. Green and navy blue are in the details, such as the artistic painting on the ceiling. (André Nazareth)
21/46 - Dorys Daher and Guilherme Pereira - Glasses Gallery. In this mix of store and living room, the home atmosphere helps to create a closer relationship with the customer. To create this atmosphere, the architects invested in neutral colors and light woods, which further enhance the products on sale. (André Nazareth)
22/46 - Sergio Novaes - Bookstore. More than a sales space, it is a reading room for those who love art books. The inspiration is the large international bookstores of this genre, where the works are everywhere: on the shelves and shelves that take advantage of the ceiling height, but also on the tables and benches. Paintings, sculptures and other works of art contribute to this cultural and intimate atmosphere. (André Nazareth)
23/46 - Bianca da Hora - Shanti Room. Minimalist, the space combines the warmth of wood, the lightness of natural fabrics and the functionality of furniture by young Brazilian designers. The window is covered with an overlap that allows light to flow in. The slatted wall is another permeable element, used on the sides of the space. The swings contribute to the playful, cozy and romantic atmosphere. (André Nazareth)
24/46 - Leo Romano - Leo Club. In his first participation at CASACOR Rio, the architect brings his interpretation of blue and green, considered the colors of Rio. They predominate in various tones, defining scenes with references to Leo's childhood and imagination. The contemporary furniture includes furniture by the Campana brothers and pieces from Romano's collections. Not to mention the Mole armchair, a classic by Sérgio Rodrigues in a color never seen before. (André Nazareth)
25/46 - Cristiana Mascarenhas and Mariana Mascarenhas - Billiard Room. Instead of going heavy on the colors, the duo opted for pink and a tropical atmosphere. The mix of elements makes everything more interesting, featuring fabrics, ropes, natural fibers, recycled wood and antique pieces. Glass shelves fill the high ceiling with ease. On the windows, fabrics with leaf prints continue the green landscape outside. (André Nazareth)
26/46 - Jorge Delmas - Casa do Bem. The contemporary loft captures the eye with deep blue and furniture without excess. On the walls, an exhibition of photographs by Beto Gatti. Another attraction of the project is the structure. It was built in just four days and, in total, the 145 m² took just over a month to complete. The dry and clean method used metal parts with drywall walls and a cement board covering. (André Nazareth)
27/46 - Isabelle Cassani - Public Restroom. The contemporary style benefits from the Art Deco that defines the original construction. Brazilianness is assumed in the straw partitions and design elements. As demanded by the new times, the choice of coatings and Deca metals followed sustainability parameters. The focus on diversity is expressed in the accessible cabin and in two others that are freely usable, without gender demarcation. (André Nazareth)
28/46 - Tiana Meggiolaro and Bia Mayrinck - Home Bazaar. The store was designed like a living room, displaying objects as if they were in a real home. That's why the furniture is versatile and the color scheme is neutral. Each week, the space features a different décor. There's no shortage of inspiration in the various ways of living in Rio de Janeiro - classic, casual, urban, with a mountain or beach feel. (André Nazareth)
29/46 - Marcia and Manu Müller - Collector's Room. To ensure that the works of art take center stage, an environment that combines intimacy and minimalism. “We created an almost transparent ambiance,” says Marcia. The furniture and fabrics are white or in light shades of gray. Some of the furniture is new and others are recreated from old pieces. All of the works were loaned by Cássia Bomeny Galeria. (André Nazareth)
30/46 - Diego Raposo - Traveler's Studio. In this minimalist studio, natural materials provide the comfort that young people seek when returning home. Suitcases, books and works of art reveal what is essential for travelers. The signature design has a different role and is presented as a family heirloom, linked to affective and quality pieces shared by several generations. (André Nazareth)
31/46 - Kilze Guimarães - Café do Porto. The space was divided into small areas with different configurations, ideal for meetings or informal gatherings with friends. In addition to what can be seen, the project offers functional solutions such as USB cables for customers and the correct management of waste generated in the kitchen. (André Nazareth)
32/46 - Carmen Mouro - Varanda do Cais. The natural wooden deck is an extension of the house and creates a living environment, with sophisticated furniture that would normally occupy internal spaces. The highlight is the 21 m² vertical garden, full of exuberant species such as Costela de Adão, boa constrictors and ferns. (André Nazareth)
33/46 - Victor Niskier - Leituratech. In technological times, an automated reading room divided into five zones. There is room for dynamic, intimate, comfortable reading, sitting and writing. The decor is a reinterpretation of art deco with well-defined geometry, taking advantage of the height of the ceiling to add another ambiance. The space offers audiovisual content and allows each visitor to interact with the place. (André Nazareth)
34/46 - Toca Arquitetura - Estúdio Elã. 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)
35/46 - Leila Bittencourt - Loft Coral #Co.living. Good design, color and humor, in this space to hang out. With an open plan and furniture that can be grouped in different ways, this room could be in a single-family home, multi-family home or co-living. Another detail is the way the architect took advantage of and redefined original elements of the building, such as beams and pipes. (André Nazareth)
36/46 - Miguel Capanema - Being on Pause. Comfort, well-being, peace and freedom are the basis of the Danish Hygge philosophy and this environment. Everything invites you to disconnect and live in the present moment by reading, listening to music or meditating. To ensure comfort, a combination of warm colors, fabrics, handmade elements. Note that the hexagonal layout of the wooden floor is repeated in the closet. At the top, proof that urban jungle fits in any space. (André Nazareth)
37/46 - Lívia Quintella and Ricardo Gutemberg - Casa Zoo. To awaken reflection and work on creativity, a jungle that invites you to interact. Wall panel, ball pit, message tree, a climbable wall and other ideas guarantee fun moments between parents and children. The carpentry shop values demolition wood as a raw material, including in the partition that stacks several boards. (André Nazareth)
38/46 - Emerson Araújo, Lenora Lohrisch and Ana Cano - Cine Lounge. The classic movie theaters of Old Rio are remembered for their irresistible charm. This space invites you to relive that time with the use of updated elements from the period, such as leather, wood, carpet and tufted bar counter. The lounges were separated into three levels, which also recall the way old movie theaters in Rio were occupied. (André Nazareth)
39/46 - Roberta Nicolau - Wine Bar. The art-deco architecture of the Touring building, where this year's exhibition takes place, served as inspiration for the creation of a friendly wine bar. And the result was a dive into the past. Geometric references are everywhere. They appear on carpets, lamps and most furniture. But the decor is current and features several of the current trends: wallpaper imitating burnt cement, Chevron flooring and coral, the color of the year, dotted here and there. (André Nazareth)
40/46 - Mariana Magalhães Costa - Loja da Casa. The colorful pieces of Italian ceramics for sale in the space were the starting point of the ambiance, which is more reminiscent of a living room than a store. Green and coral appear on the walls and in some details, but white prevails to ensure that the ceramics stand out. (André Nazareth)
41/46 - Maritza de Orleans e Bragança - Sculpture Garden. Corten steel is a heavy and resistant material, but in the sculptures it expresses lightness in its play of shadow and light. The delicacy of the plants also contrasts with the geometric design of the pieces created by the landscaper herself, who is also a visual artist. (André Nazareth)
42/46 - Studio RO+CA - RO+CA Terrace. The view and the original Art Deco architecture make this the perfect space for a late afternoon drink. To avoid competing with so many important elements of the landscape, the ambiance is clean and relaxed. The living room features the new line of outdoor furniture by architect Arthur Casas. The panel was created by architect and artist Ani Cuenca. (André Nazareth)
43/46 - Gisele Taranto Architecture - CH'A Bar. The world of teas has its own bar. The menu includes traditional teas – hot and iced –, alcoholic drinks, desserts and even snacks. In the decoration, color palette influenced by the different types of drink. The furniture and floor tiles are a reference to black and white teas. The landscaping alludes to the third type of tea, green. And the cachepots were inspired by the traditional sieves used to select leaves. The architecture of the space was also enhanced with an intervention by Marcelo Catalano in the Clock Tower, which can be seen from across Praça Mauá. (André Nazareth)
44/46 - Cité Arquitetura - Layers Reception. The many historical layers of Rio's port region inspired the reception, which takes on the blue tones of the sea. And the new project was born to be part of this memory, preserving and interacting with the building's original architecture. The panel is the main element, overlapping linen fabrics. The embroideries tell of the formation of the city and the port. (André Nazareth)
45/46 - Rodrigo Barbosa - PIERG 21. In the best style of condominiums in Miami, Ibiza and Croatia, the 520 m² space follows the concept of a beach club. As a result, the outdoor area was enhanced by becoming a leisure space and meeting point. Sustainability guided the choice of synthetic materials, from the wood and stone used on the deck to the coverings, including the ropes and fibers of the furniture. (André Nazareth)
46/46 - Isabella Lucena - Bahia Restaurant. The art-deco style, with its circular shapes, was the great inspiration for the creation of this edition's restaurant. It appears in the hollow arch-shaped elements that serve as partitions, in pendant lamps and in some pieces of furniture. The pillar in the center of the space was transformed into a kind of green island with two huge four-meter-high palm trees and many plants around it. The lounge also took on a different format: an L-shaped grandstand offers a more relaxed way to wait for a table and enjoy the view of the Bay. (André Nazareth)
