Urban Refuge suggests, the space by designer Marina Linhares for
CASACOR São Paulo 2018 is a place designed for escapism from everyday life. Installed in the middle of the Jockey Club's greenery, the idea is that the 60-room project m² can be replicated in any place geared towards relaxation, be it a country house, a
rooftop or a beach retreat. “We created a space that speaks of small pleasures, that refers to the home as a sanctuary,” explains Marina.

The trees listed by the city hall serve as a backdrop for the refuge and also appear inside: trunks pass through the living room and end up functioning as sculptures.
