Ap. Y - Studio MH Arquitetura | Monique Pampolha and Hannah Cabral. The duo's big bet in this project is the sectorization of spaces using the unevenness of the spaces between them, instead of the masonry that would divide the rooms. 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.

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. Women are the central point of this space and are honored through design and architecture. 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.

The vertical gardens, designed by Simone Granjeiro, with dehydrated plants, are particularly striking, and are given a charming touch by the lighting design. The bar is operated by Cooking Buffet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

Loft (U) - Studio ro+ca | Rodrigo Béze, Carlos Carvalho and Caio Carvalho.

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.

CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2017 will be held for the first time in the city center, in the AQWA Corporate building , designed by Foster+Partners, by award-winning architect Norman Foster, and executed by Tishman Speyer. The project is the only one in Brazil designed by the firm, has LEED Gold pre-certification in sustainability and is located in the Port region, offering a unique view of Guanabara Bay, the mountains and the city. The show is not to be missed and will take place between October 24 and November 30 , with 42 environments designed by around 40 teams of architects, interior designers and landscapers. "In such a turbulent world, it is necessary to focus on what really matters to each person, letting go of excesses. What is essential to live well? It could be silence, location, time...”, highlights Patricia Quentel, managing partner of CASACOR Rio de Janeiro , who believes that Foster's building synthesizes the essential as its architecture brings simple lines, without excesses. On the ground floor is the entertainment area, which is open to the public. The areas can be visited even by those who have not purchased a ticket and include the Pool Lounge , the Grocery and Pizzeria , the Design Store , the Toy Library and the Renault Living Garage . In the lobby, visitors to the exhibition will find the Restaurant , the Wine Bar , the Café , the Bookstore and a few other shops. The event will also occupy the 21st floor with seven lofts (69 to 99 m²), four studios (51 to 62 m²), six living spaces with different concepts and a gourmet kitchen. A multimedia room and a meeting room are the spaces intended for lectures, workshops and chats. The projects will take advantage of the characteristics of the floor, which has a high ceiling, in a penthouse style. The two ends are occupied by a spa, on one side, and by a cocktail bar and an observatory, on the other. The large windows in the building's architecture make the beauty of Rio de Janeiro the centerpiece of some of the spaces. Creative solutions for optimizing small spaces are a trend, as is the integration of spaces. Exposed bricks and pipes, wood, metal and lots of concrete highlight the industrial style, which is accompanied by shades of gray and pink. In terms of furniture, pieces from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s stand out with their rounded shapes and organic lines.
