Maurício Nóbrega Arquitetura – Casa Bistrô. In the space previously reserved for the residence's garage, in a recessed area of its large garden, the restaurant features a mix of pieces of different styles – many of them found in the house itself and unused for years. The use of plants as dividers and the maintenance of coverings such as the old tiles in the space bring more personality to the environment. The furniture favors large and spacious tables that allow distancing even between people in the same group. (André Nazareth)
Called Casa UP , the architects behind the project, Michelle Wilkinson, Thiago Morsh and Cadé Marino, from UP3 Arquitetura, quickly created the space using a metal structure for the exhibition. Sustainable actions were combined with the project, which generated almost no waste. Stones, clay, wood and cotton were the materials used in the compositions that gave life to an environment reconnected with nature. And the decoration reflects this aspect. The forest green of the sofa is a beautiful choice to be used with the wood , while the velvet brings that touch of coziness that the furniture needs. In addition, it creates a beautiful gradient with the nature that comes from outside, and appears emphatically in the environment. 
Using just 20 m² of decorated space , architects Tatiana Lopes and Tatiana Pessoa Mendes showed that it is possible to innovate. The multifunctional living room has an integrated home office . The idea here was to create a colorful panel with an open space to incorporate a small desk. Inspiring, the space is in harmony with the colors of the rest of the room, whose walls are pink. Wood enters the scene again, allowing maximum comfort and a more natural atmosphere. 
A comfortable, modern and elegant space . These are the characteristics of the "Contemplation" Art Room designed by Mario Costa Santos. The space features a light décor, with a strong influence from the Slow Living movement, which values time and attention to detail. The furniture featured big names. The chairs by Sérgio Rodrigues and contemporary pieces by Jader Almeida contrast and create a more eclectic look for the space. The works of art reflect this ambiguous character, with a combination of baroque and popular art, and photographs by Miguel Rio Branco . 
The multifunctional environment created by Adriana Esteves shows a home designed for the post-pandemic period, in which spaces with reduced footage need to accommodate multiple functionalities. Named The Refuge , the name suits it well when you keep in mind that the objective is to create a place dedicated to rest and disconnection from the outside world. In this case, using a neutral base gives it a more sober character, while the blue carpet carries this calm characteristic.
