09/48 - Ap. Y - Studio MH Arquitetura | Monique Pampolha and Hannah Cabral.

For this, openwork iron panels and carpentry are also used. The color palette brings a contemporary and industrial atmosphere. In the suite, the bed was raised, providing a better view of Guanabara Bay. (André Nazareth)

10/48 - Art Consultant's Refuge - Studio 021 Arquitetura - Paula Wetzel and Camila Simbalista.

The art pieces are the protagonists in the space, not only being displayed, but also arranged to reveal their relationship with the character. (André Nazareth)

11/48 - Pool Bar - Fabio Bouillet and Rodrigo Jorge. A casual environment, with the feel of a hotel dedicated to socializing and leisure. Inside, the style is contemporary, with rougher finishes.

One of the project's distinguishing features is the various levels created by the pools, with hydromassage, infinity edge, and reflecting pool. (André Nazareth)

The largest wall of the space was covered with a large bookshelf, with a central space, which is the entrance to the space. (André Nazareth)

Paintings by Tomie Ohtake and Rubens Gerchman and a sculpture by Amilcar de Castro make up the décor. (André Nazareth)

20/48 - Play House - Leila Bittencourt and Cristiana Spinola. The space features two small houses connected by the wires of a large "cat bed", a work by artist Danielle Cukierman.

A colorful panel, made of lambe-lambe posters, tells a little about the history of Porto do Rio (André Nazareth)

21/48 - Investor's Loft – Ana Lúcia Jucá. The wonderful view of Guanabara Bay inspired the professional to design a loft for an investor who works in the building, consisting of a bedroom and a living room.

Three contemporary paintings by Daniel Lannes complete the space. (André Nazareth)

Other textures stand out in the space, such as white marble, mirrors and coverings such as leather and linen. (André Nazareth)

30/48 - Cinema + Art - Bianca da Hora and Jacira Pinheiro. With the aim of awakening sensations, the professionals create an environment that was conceived in two areas: a concrete box that functions as an art gallery and a lounge with screens that interact with visitors.

The cinema is marked by the industrial style, with exposed pipes on the ceiling and furniture that highlights the feminine atmosphere, with pieces designed by designers such as the Joy Sofa and the Shell Armchair, by Estudiobola, the PK6 Armchair, by designer Paulo Kobylka and the Jabuticaba Wall Lamp, by Ana Neute.

(André Nazareth)

32/48 - Flower workshop - Vera Rebello. The most important thing about the space is the beauty of the flowers, which is why the professional invested in a lighter and more fluid decoration. Antique furniture serves as obvious shelves, which can be a buffet, a desk, stairs and a bookcase. The old table and benches, made of Riga pine, serve both to display the flower species and as a bench and seat for workshop participants on class days. (André Nazareth)

33/48 - 9th floor - RAF Arquitetura. On the 9th floor of AQWA Corporate, CASACOR Rio occupies the entire floor, where the office that designed it offers spaces aimed at companies.

This space features furniture by the Swiss company Vitra and has a meeting room and café. (André Nazareth)

34/48 - Glasses Gallery - Emerson Araújo and Lenora Lohrisch. Brazilian designer Gustavo Gonçalves' glasses are the works of art on display in this space.

To highlight the pieces, the space is bright, with wood-effect porcelain flooring, walls covered with MDF panels and the use of natural light. (André Nazareth)

35/48 - CoLab Space - Paula Neder and Luiz Fernando Grabowsky. With 90 m², the living room for receiving friends brings together art and invites those present to admire the beauty of the view.

Finally, the works of art bring charm and color to the decor: the mosaic panel by Paulo Werneck, highlighting Christ the Redeemer and the paintings by Coletivo Muda. (André Nazareth)

36/48 - Café CASACOR - Bel Lobo, Bob Neri and Mariana Travassos. In the 112 m², the professionals maintained the original characteristics of the enterprise, demarcating the occupation with a kind of “suspended environment”. The trio used a structure of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), or cross-laminated wood, which creates this effect. In addition, the floor design rises to the upper faces of the furniture. The walls charmingly expose the concrete and exposed pipes. The place is operated by Deli Delícia. (André Nazareth)

37/48 - Mercearia da Casa - Roberta Nicolau. The space functions as a grocery store and a pizzeria, and the two are separated by a laser-cut wooden sculpture in the shape of pivoting panels, located right at the entrance. The mix of textures in the coverings – burnt cement, bricks, stone – results in a very contemporary combination. In both spaces, there is a sculptural iron structure on the ceiling and the counter is covered in hydraulic tiles, creating a unique style. The furniture features pieces by Brazilian designers. The menu and the grocery store are run by Deli Delícia. (André Nazareth)

38/48 - Exit Lounge - David Defizio. The space of the exhibition that “says goodbye” and invites visitors to wait for the next edition features vibrant tones and a cheerful atmosphere. In the CasaShopping lounge, dark green becomes the base of the project, which receives noble and neutral finishes, such as marble, stainless steel, wood, linen and velvet. The furniture has an Italian essence, but Brazilianness is also present in several elements, such as the Burle Marx painting, in shades of green. (André Nazareth)

39/48 - Tishman Speyer Space - RAF Arquitetura. The 115 m² reception lounge, which welcomes and provides access to other spaces such as a living and meeting area, bar, multimedia room and projection room, tells the story of Tishman Speyer and its famous buildings, such as the Rockefeller Center and the Chrysler Center in the USA. The entire space was covered in planes and geometries that suggest taking the visitor to an “outside the box” dimension. These elements were decomposed from the company's logo, the "T" and the "S". (André Nazareth)

40/48 - Ticket Office – Raul Moras and Fernanda Bessone. Using a modern and inviting industrial style, the exhibition ticket office brings the concept of self-storage to the exhibition: offering spaces for visitors to store their own belongings. To this end, boxes were positioned along the side wall. Also noteworthy are the cement cobogó wall and the stone counter. (André Nazareth)

41/48 - Loja da Casa - Thais Parahyba. Inspired by the building's architecture, the architect designed a project where carpentry, walls and ceiling interact, also integrating decorative objects into a single language. Wood is present in the furniture, in various tones. The ceiling stands out, where “floating” triangles were created. (André Nazareth)

42/48 - Indio da Costa Design Shop - Guto Índio da Costa. A sloping wall torn with backlit niches, like a wave, is the gallery that exhibits several products from Indio da Costa Design for the first time. With 72 m², the store features new releases such as the line of concrete benches and the commemorative edition of ICZERO1. (André Nazareth)

43/48 - Wellness Space – Angela Leite Barbosa. The professional created this creative space to present the Lapinha SPA, located in the city of Lapa, Paraná.

Light tones contrast with the wood and gray tones used on the walls and floor to create a peaceful atmosphere. The humorous touch of the sculptural ants by artist Antônio Carlos Laet stands out. (André Nazareth)

44/48 - Island in the Heights Booking - Mario Santos. The 140 m² space, created by the professional in partnership with Booking.com, meets consumerism and the rush, seeking a more balanced and peaceful life. The space includes a suite, living room and dining room. Wood is the protagonist of the project. The highlight is the access corridor, which takes place through a tunnel made of wooden slats that is combined with the lighting design to create an even more interesting atmosphere. The sunshades, also made from the same ecological material, run through and connect the areas of the loft. (André Nazareth)

45/48 - Loft (U) - Studio ro+ca | Rodrigo Béze, Carlos Carvalho and Caio Carvalho. The industrial atmosphere of the loft also reflects the concept of the space: an environment without gender or sex, for a U (Undefined) couple. The structures of the building that houses the exhibition are exposed, with a mix of floor coverings, sometimes cemented, sometimes wooden. To delimit the spaces, iron and corrugated glass partitions. The view of Guanabara Bay invades and complements the decor of the room. (André Nazareth)

48/48 - Box 21 - Beta Arquitetura - Bernardo Gaudie-Ley and Tânia Braida. The professional duo was inspired by New York lofts to create the ideal space for a businessman from São Paulo. The gray and black tones with touches of green and pink add delicacy and create a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The high ceiling was the motivation to design the bathroom inside a glass box, the box. Highlights include the garden designed by landscaper Carmen Mouro and chairs by Jader Almeida. (André Nazareth)
