Maria Fernandes Marques Paisagismo - Da Terra ao Solo. Um portal de cobogós assinala a chegada a este jardim de 330 m², que leva à tiny house vizinha e a mais duas áreas externas antes de desembocar na entrada monumental do primeiro casarão. O projeto nasceu após harmonização prévia do terreno de acordo com a medicina do habitat – daí a presença de três rochas maiores em locais estratégicos. Colmeias do artista João Machado reiteram o papel das abelhas nativas na manutenção da biodiversidade, enquanto totens da série Verdades, de Carol Ambrósio, ampliam a relação entre arte e paisagem.

The gardens of CASACOR São Paulo occupy a prominent place in the 2026 edition. They take on the role of projects capable of building narratives, awakening perceptions, and bringing visitors closer to biodiversity. In tune with the theme Mind and Heart, the landscape appears as a tool to stimulate deeper connections with the surroundings.

Throughout the show, landscaping moves away from the idea of a backdrop and starts to act as the protagonist of the experience. Reflecting pools, native species, sensory paths, lounging areas, and educational proposals reveal different ways of thinking about the relationship between nature and built space. The result is a set of gardens that translates some of the most relevant discussions in contemporary landscaping.
One of the common points among various gardens at CASACOR São Paulo 2026 is the appreciation of Brazilian vegetation. Instead of seeking imported references, many projects turn their gaze to species adapted to the ecosystem of Parque da Água Branca – reinforcing the importance of biodiversity and the unique characteristics of each territory!
This choice also appears associated with strategies of lower environmental impact. Soil preservation, respect for existing drainage, encouragement of pollinators, and proposals to reuse species after the show demonstrate an approach that understands landscaping as part of a broader system. At different scales, the gardens reveal a growing concern with the relationship between project, nature, and permanence.
The projects presented at the show explore different ways of building this relationship with the landscape. Among contemplative, educational, and sensory proposals, the gardens reveal multiple interpretations about the role of nature in contemporary life.
Right at the beginning of the route, the projects by Ana Lui Paisagismo and Karen Marini present a botanical curatorship dedicated to unusual Brazilian species, organized according to principles of contemporary naturalist landscaping. The project values the natural dynamics of the terrain by preserving both the soil base and its original drainage.

Amid the vegetation, the reflecting pool, the sculpture Geometry of the Soul, and the meliponary expand the visitor's experience, reinforcing themes related to biodiversity and the coexistence between landscape and natural life.
The square-garden created by Pam Faccin proposes an immersion in the complexity of the Atlantic Forest. The route leads the visitor through a composition formed by native vegetation and a draining floor that creates a mosaic along the path.

The educational character appears clearly in the project, especially through the Biodiversity Tunnel, featuring images of Brazilian flora and birdlife. The garden transforms the landscape experience into an opportunity for closer contact with one of the country's most important biomes.
The garden designed by Maria Fernanda Marques establishes a constant relationship between nature, art and memory. The arrival takes place through a portal of cobogós that leads the visitor through different outdoor areas before reaching the first mansion of the show.

Along the route, strategically positioned rocks, artistic beehives and sculptural totems broaden the reading of the landscape. The presence of native bees reinforces the importance of biodiversity, while the artworks deepen the connection between human intervention and natural projects.
Designed as an interval in the middle of the show's circuit, the Estúdio Musgo project explores small shifts in perception through vegetation, light and textures. The composition uses geometric shapes that unfold into cutouts on the deck, creating a rhythmic and precise landscape.

Mirrors and armchairs distributed along the path encourage lingering and observation. More than a passing garden, the project presents itself as a space dedicated to reorganizing attention and to sensory experience.
A centennial fig tree organizes the entire composition of this garden. Around it, Alexandre Galhego builds a landscape predominantly made up of native vegetation, installed in a way that preserves the existing soil.

Wooden panels act as visual filters and help create an introspective atmosphere. Among lingering areas, ecological fireplaces and resting nooks, the project invites the visitor to slow down and observe the natural elements that structure the experience.
Starting from the idea that the home can be a territory of healing, Pedro Rabelais transforms a corner into a meeting point. From the central vertex of the space, the vegetation spreads in different directions, creating a sense of continuity with the neighboring projects.

The composition brings together species such as fan palm and frangipani in a lush landscape. The commitment to sustainability also guides the project, which provides for the use of organic materials, reused water and the reuse of all plants after the show.
Inspired by the Japanese concept of ikigai (that is, that which makes life worth living), the garden signed by Vitor Kodama explores the relationship between purpose, affection and nature. Totems clad in stone, mirrors and vegetation create plays of reflections that bring visitors and landscape closer together.

Distributed along the deck, these elements structure the path and reinforce the contemplative character of the project. The ikebanas broaden the connection with family and cultural tradition.
The project understands landscaping as a tool to stimulate mindfulness and balance. Organized into different projects, Bia Abreu's garden brings together areas dedicated to physical activity, relaxation and contemplation.

Water, stone, wood, natural aromas and layered flower beds contribute to a sensory experience that dialogues directly with the theme of the show. The space proposes a conscious pause amid the visitation route.
