Luis Alves + Samuel Resende - Lavabo Casulo. O projeto é um convite a desacelerar. O espaço foi criado para ser um verdadeiro refúgio de permanência, onde a luz quente envolve de forma sutil, revelando cores profundas e linhas contínuas. Sem contrastes bruscos que quebrem a paz do olhar, a iluminação suave desperta a vontade de tocar e sentir o ambiente. Tudo ali sussurra conforto e intimidade de forma silenciosa, oferecendo uma pausa introspectiva e relaxante no meio do dia. A ambiência se constrói pela continuidade visual e pela sensação de abrigo, criando uma experiência sensorial que acolhe sem excessos. A percepção do espaço é gradual, permitindo que o usuário se conecte ao ambiente de maneira natural e fluida. A proposta é criar uma atmosfera de permanência e bem-estar, onde o tempo parece desacelerar e a experiência se torna mais contemplativa. (Felipe Petrovsky/CASACOR)
The modern winter garden is a landscaping solution applied in indoor or transitional areas of the house, combining vegetation with decorative elements. Unlike traditional models, which used to focus exclusively on growing plants, current versions integrate aspects such as lighting, materials, circulation and integration with the projects.
The composition of this space varies according to the architecture of the location, the availability of natural light and the desired effect in the project. Below, we list 7 elements that help define a modern winter garden!
The vegetation is the central point of any winter garden, but contemporary projects often explore more varied combinations of species. Instead of gathering only small plants, the composition can include foliage of different sizes, creating movement and depth.

Tropical species, such as monstera, ferns and palm trees, can bring a more exuberant feel, while plants with discreet foliage help create minimalist proposals. The choice depends on the light conditions, ventilation and maintenance of the space.
Wood, stone, ceramics and natural fibers are frequent elements in modern winter gardens. These materials help create a visual transition between the construction and nature, reinforcing a sense of balance.

Beyond aesthetics, materials also influence the perception of the space. Surfaces with different textures make the projects more interesting and create a more sensorial relationship with the garden.
Lighting plays an important role in transforming the winter garden, especially in projects used at night. Well-positioned light points can highlight plants, textures and architectural elements.

In addition to artificial lighting, the entry of natural light must also be considered. Skylights, glass covers and large openings help maintain a closer relationship with the outside and favor the development of plants.
The pots are no longer just supports for plants and have become part of the visual composition of the projects. Models with sculptural shapes, natural materials or differentiated finishes help reinforce the style of the garden.

Structures such as vertical gardens, shelves and green panels also appear as alternatives to make better use of smaller areas, bringing landscaping to walls and surfaces that were previously underused.
Fountains, small reflecting pools and other elements featuring water can complement the modern winter garden. In addition to the visual aspect, the sound and movement help create a more peaceful atmosphere.

This resource appears especially in proposals that value contemplation and the creation of sensory projects, bringing the indoor space closer to the experience of being in an outdoor garden.
The modern winter garden can also be designed as a space for staying. Benches, armchairs, side tables or small resting areas allow the space to be incorporated into the daily life of the home.

The choice of furniture should consider resistance to humidity, proportion and relationship with the other elements of the garden. Pieces in wood, natural fibers or materials with a light appearance usually dialogue well with the proposal.
One of the main characteristics of contemporary winter gardens is the ability to connect different areas of the home. They can function as a transition between living room and balcony, as an extension of a hallway or as a highlight in social areas.

More than an isolated space, the garden becomes part of the domestic experience. The presence of greenery, combined with well-planned architectural choices, contributes to more welcoming projects and with a greater relationship with nature.
