Two eras meet in the 2019 edition of
CASACOR Santa Catarina | Florianópolis . On one side, the new multifunctional development Cidade Milano; on the other, the restored mansion where former governor Hercílio Luz (1860-1924) lived, a property listed as a historical heritage site. The 40 projects, developed by 70 professionals, are distributed across these two locations and complement each other, in a bridge that connects the future and the memories of the capital. Two forces that manifest themselves in various ways in the exhibition spaces. An important idea is visibility, thought of in a broad way. Everything is more visible, in environments without visual barriers, which allow for more intense coexistence. And also in the more direct exposure of materials in architecture, in peeled slabs, in exposed concrete and natural textures very evident in stones, wood and fibers. The colors follow the truth of these raw materials and recall the surrounding sea, in shades of sand contrasting with blues and greens. Sustainability is another demonstration of transparency, in more ethical choices, construction innovations and diverse initiatives of reuse.
Reflections on the city
One of the headquarters of
CASACOR Santa Catarina | Florianópolis is a gift to the capital. The Casa de Hercílio Luz was built in 1848 and belonged to the politician from Santa Catarina, who lived there until his death in 1924. At the time, the entire area around the square - known as Banco Redondo - was outside the urban perimeter, and the house was located on a farm. The property was listed in 2002, but only three years ago the restoration project was started by Milano Incorporadora, also responsible for the development built next door. The inauguration of the renovated property will take place together with
CASACOR Santa Catarina | Florianópolis and it will now receive the public for guided tours. The Cidade Milano, a multifunctional real estate complex, is the other venue chosen for the exhibition. Inside it, the Pátio Milano mall houses several spaces in the service wing and also in the gastronomic area, with 10 attractions that offer gastronomic options to visitors for the first time. It is with this atmosphere of novelty and nostalgia, which makes us reflect on the occupation of the city and the importance of preserving its memories, that
CASACOR Santa Catarina | Florianópolis reveals itself to the public once again.
