The compact spaces of
CASACOR Rio 2025 showcase how the
creative use of partitions can transform the living experience. More than mere elements of separation, they become
design resources that ensure comfort, fluidity, and well-being — even in reduced areas! Between lofts and studios, the exhibition presents projects that value the integration of the projects, without giving up functionality or privacy.

In many of these spaces, partitions appear as subtle and elegant solutions:
they define uses, suggest transitions, and preserve privacy in intimate areas without resorting to traditional walls. Lattice panels, shelves, curtains, and perforated elements create a permeable architecture, where light circulates and the eye rests. Below are some of the ideas presented by the professionals of the exhibition ensemble:
Lattice wood panels
In the Dream Room, architect Paula Neder chose a lattice wood panel with an open and vertical weave. With a certain sculptural character, the partition serves as support for artworks and also hides the resident's closet. PN+ | Paula Neder - O Quarto dos Sonhos.

Woven panels
In turn, Fernanda Medeiros opted for another type of panel to provide privacy to the intimate area: three wooden and woven panels that go from floor to ceiling that can be kept closed or open, according to the moment's intention.

Muxarabis
The muxarabis, classic elements of Arab architecture, appear both in Porto da Correspondente, by Anna Malta and Andrea Duarte, and in Loft Essência, by Sebastian Gomez. In the first, they separate the social area from the intimate one, but leave two large lateral passages open. In this way, the bed is protected, but the space remains open. In the second, the separation is between the bedroom and bathroom. A way to maintain privacy without losing natural light and ventilation. Anna Malta e Andrea Duarte - Porto da Correspondente.

Cobogós
Characteristically Brazilian, the cobogós are typical in the facades of many houses from north to south of the country. But, also in Loft Essência, they appear as a visual element of great impact: a perforated wall that subtly separates the living room and bedroom! Sebastian Gomez Arquitetura - Loft Essência.

Shelves
Functional, shelves are always wildcards when it comes to separating projects – since in addition to making a subtle division, they also expand storage space. No wonder they were used by several professionals: in Loft Semente, by Thimi Arquitetura; in Recanto Serrano, by Cadé Marino; and in Entreplanos: living in layers, by Isabella Lucena.

Curtains
Curtains are also great options when the desire is to maintain fluidity. These partitions can even be used in projects that require total privacy, such as bathrooms. Claudia Infante makes this clear with lightweight pieces used as doors in the suite of her Loft 50+, made in tribute to Ingrid Guimarães. Meanwhile, Anna Malta and Andréa Duarte were even bolder and opted for a curtain of metal links. Claudia Infante - Loft da Mulher 50+. Projeto da CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2025. (André Nazareth/CASACOR)
