CASA COR MG 2015 project wins the iF Design Award 2016

This week, the list of one of the most anticipated design awards in the world, the iF Design Award , was released. Of the 101 Brazilian entries, 38 projects were awarded, one of which was a space at CASA COR Minas Gerais 2015. In the Architecture and Interiors category, the Glass House , designed by Cristina Menezes, was one of the winning projects.

The space, as its name suggests, was a house made entirely of glass, measuring 60 m², which was intended to unite the interior with the flora outside. The material used for the construction was reflective glass that isolates 70% of the heat and 100% of the UV rays, keeping all the furniture protected from the effects of the sun and creating a pleasant ambiance. The glass also offered privacy for those inside the house: you can see the outside, but the outside cannot clearly see what is happening inside. The winning projects were chosen by an international jury of 58 design professionals who met in Germany from January 19 to 21 to evaluate the projects submitted from around the world. The best projects will be presented at a special ceremony on February 26 in Munich, Germany. The winning companies will use the renowned iF seal on their products and projects, in addition to being included in the iF online exhibition, which receives approximately 200,000 visits per month. They will also become part of the iF WORLD DESIGN GUIDE, a digital reference platform for companies, offices, agencies, institutions and design professionals from around the world.
