The coronavirus pandemic has created a new reality and, as a result, it will create a new architecture. Even now, during the period of social isolation, the needs of residents are already beginning to change, as we are spending more time at home. The home takes on a new role central to the routine, transforming itself into a true living planet, which needs to be versatile and adaptable.

House in metamorphosis

It became a place to socialize and sleep; it became a classroom for children and an office for adults. Today, the house is multifunctional and houses functions that once seemed antagonistic. Perhaps the most radical metamorphosis is the idea of housing as place of both work and rest. With 8.4 million Brazilians working from home, according to data from Ipea, it is expected that the comfortable “office” has appeared in many homes, even if spontaneously, in other environments. However, it is not only for work made the post-pandemic home. Pinterest - a network that many turn to for inspiration - has seen record numbers of searches for topics related to well-being, such as meditation, positivity and gratitude.

A necessary break

This means that people have also been looking for ways to create spaces for relaxation and decompression. This makes a lot of sense, since mental health is understandably affected in times of such uncertainty. It was with this new need for housing in mind that professionals Angela Castilho and Alex Rodrigues proposes his space for the Janelas CASACOR Brasília edition .

Natural materials, such as stones on the walls and thin eucalyptus branches and twigs from the Cerrado on the ceiling, create a rustic atmosphere that alludes to ancestry. The wooden stools were created by Zulmar Candeeiro and carved like real sculptures by the artist.
