Denis Joelsons won in the Residential Kitchen category, with the Cozinha Casa dos Terraços project, which considers the kitchen as a living space. In it, the floor has a dark tone that refers to the earth, the walls are painted in an earthy red that contrasts with the green of the forest. As it moves away from the ground, the house becomes brighter, culminating in the translucent wired glass membrane that marks its access facade.

Evandro Melato and Pabrício Amaral were the winners in the Residential Bathroom category, with the project O Banho de Tuia, which reinforces the idea that we are nature itself. Thus, the project floats over a lake and finds shelter in the dense Atlantic Forest. The modern architectural volume, installed on the bridge, rescues the memories of traditional tuias, the name given in the interior of Minas Gerais to spaces dedicated to food storage. In the two bathrooms and on the countertops, Deca products reinforce the project's concern with pioneering choices in sustainability.

Danielle Bellini was the winner in the Corporate category. Her geometric design for a “children’s center” uses architecture as a teaching tool through a playful game of figures. The gray soapstone countertop was designed asymmetrically to accommodate children of all ages in a school. The architect used four round sinks with a Decamatic Eco 1175C high-spout faucet with automatic closing, whose shape follows the design of the mirrors.

Giuliano Marchiorato won in the Product category, with the project Urinal Nºum, which presents a proposal for pure and minimalist design, with purpose, prioritizing privacy and well-being. Between form and function, the project was born from a formal angled design, in order to provide privacy without the need for a screen, that is, the object itself protects the user. The inspiration was in the strong geometric features present in Brazilian modernism.

It is a recognition that reflects much of our beliefs, always based on valuing people, their talents and the capacity for creation focused on technology, innovation and well-being ”, says Fabiana Melo , Branding, Communication and CRM manager at Deca.
