While the days indoors are longer, the tendency is for us to turn to gardens, terraces and balconies to enjoy the best of outdoor life. These essential spaces for contemporary living now take on a new meaning.

At the Chef de Cozinha Receiving Space , a unique space designed by Marcelo Diniz, Mateus Finzeto and Deise Pucci, the idea was to extend the vintage kitchen to a covered terrace. The wooden brise set the tone for the decoration, which included a garden of spices and vegetables organized on shelves .

When it comes to rest, there is nothing better than a series of chaises arranged on the porch of a house surrounded by greenery . UP3 Arquitetura's complete residence for CASACOR Rio 2021 mixes the Scandinavian way of living with the Rio way, creating an unforgettable experience of reconnection with nature .
In the woods of the Jockey Club in São Paulo, Marina Linhares' refuge allows connection with the pre-existing trees and the natural light , which bathes the entire house. The glass enclosures allow the interior to flow out onto the terrace, where earthy colors cover the versatile and multifunctional furniture, which can be rearranged in different ways.

In Bahia, the Varanda Gourmet by Daniela Lopes brings the breadth of white to a balcony that integrates a gourmet space, bar, TV and a charming reading corner. Outside, the sumptuous green of the garden gains even more projection given the clean decoration, which flows without hindrance. The linen shawls and freijó give a welcoming atmosphere to the environment.
In external areas, where solar incidence tends to be greater, it is important to incorporate elements that filter light , such as brises and muxarabis , to guarantee thermal comfort. At Balcony Pôr do Sol, wood was used in panels on the ceiling and walls, highlighting the greenery and, in addition, leaving the area super fresh and calm.

A space for decompression and peace , the Verdejantes Tempos, Changing Winds balcony... combines all the comfort of the indoor area with the view from the outside. Here, Mariana Pesca, Elise Lacerda and Ivana Bernart's focus was on furniture that could be used both inside and outside the home , without compromising either area. The trio opted for a sea green upholstery that brightens the entire decor.
