CASACOR São Paulo 2019. Casa Pausa - Michel Safatle. To create the space, Michel Safatle was inspired by the silent purism of colors and shapes, conceptualized in Zen-orientalist-influenced constructivism, expressed through a monochromatic palette, always with black as the base and touches of Beijing red.

CASACOR Santa Catarina | Florianópolis 2019. Unplugged - Ana Luiza Tomasi. The wabi sabi philosophy defined the project. The space reinforces the message that the best can be found in the simplest materials and compositions, which express the essential. Natural materials and indirect lighting were used to convey coziness, in addition to the asymmetry in the shapes, textures and volumes of the space.

CASACOR São Paulo 2017. CASA Niwa - Yamagata Arquitetura. Straight lines and well-defined architectural features come together with deep, dense tones. The highlight here is the bookcase with small niches, which open and close with doors that fit together, to store collections and affective objects. The Japanese word Niwa refers to the house's garden, designed in partnership with Alex Hanazaki.

CASACOR São Paulo 2017. Sustainable Home - Mariana Crego. The idea for the space came about after a trip the professional took to Thailand. The local culture caught her attention, both for its spirituality and for its contact with nature and attention to detail. The architect then wanted to use the space to discuss the importance of being concerned with the chemical process of materials – where they came from, how they were extracted and where they go.

CASACOR São Paulo 2016. Shoji 04 - Yamagata Arquitetura. Traditional Japanese architecture was on the minds of Paloma Yamagata, Aldi Flosi and Bruno Rangel. Especially the structure of the shojis, panels or sliding doors made of wood and translucent paper, to which the project alludes. Light wood appears at various times and is joined by marble and metal.

CASACOR Brasília 2018. Tree Balcony - Carolina Nathair. The tree in the central space is the main attraction of the 90 m² space and was the starting point for the project. The plasterwork is used on the walls and highlights the wabi sabi trend. The effect contrasts with the delicacy of the Buriti straw lamps, produced by a craftswoman from Brasília based on the professional's design, above the reclaimed wood tables.

CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2019. Shanti Room - Bianca da Hora. Minimalist, the space combines the warmth of wood, the lightness of natural fabrics and the functionality of furniture by young Brazilian designers. The window is covered with an overlap that allows light to flow through. The slatted wall is another permeable element, used on the sides of the space. The swings contribute to the playful, cozy and romantic atmosphere.

CASACOR Pernambuco 2019. Espaço Zen Deca - André Carício. Clean and geometric lines, flanked by neutral tones, illuminate your pieces and give value to the natural fiber weaves and artisan work. Surrounded by a reflecting pool, the space has automation technology as a counterpoint.

CASACOR São Paulo 2019. Nohara Terrace - Lucas Takaoka. The materials chosen help to create a light look, such as pine, concrete and metal. The wooden and metal sheet brise-soleil, reminiscent of a Japanese rice paper door, stands out, creating a pleasant shade. “It’s like a terrace in the middle of nature, hence the name Nohara, which means field in Japanese,” says the architect.

CASACOR São Paulo 2017. Zen Space - Alalou Paisagismo. Felipe and Maria Lúcia Alalou propose a new way of contemplating the view of Jockey, from a Japanese garden. Rustic stones refer to mountains and sand, to the journey of life. The protagonist is bamboo, in logs that form a curtain.

CASACOR Brasília 2019. House - Barone Arquitetura. The integrated layout combines a minimalist environment with a clean and balanced atmosphere distributed throughout its 45 m². Neutral textures, such as wood and stone, are close to a Mediterranean aesthetic, yet with an oriental feel. The gabled ceiling with slats stands out, reminiscent of a traditional and rustic house.

Therefore, more and more people are trying to understand the Asian lifestyle to incorporate it into homes on this side of the ocean. Terms such as wabi-sabi and zen have spread significantly in the world of interiors – a demonstration of the strength that the concepts of harmony and minimalism have on decor. The first refers to the beauty of imperfection and materials in their natural form, focusing on what is indispensable, without excess. The second, even more popular, is associated with Buddhism and concerns the feeling of deep peace and tranquility. In the gallery, we highlight CASACOR houses, living rooms and gardens whose ambiance demonstrates a strong Asian influence. With overlays, monochromatism and geometry, there are many ideas for completely remodeling your home. Get inspired!
