With a touch of modernity in each new project,
Toninho Noronha shows all his talent and versatility when creating. His visionary, trend-setting compositions are the architect's trademarks.
Graduated from the
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro , the architect invests in a
more contemporary atmosphere in all his projects. And this is reflected in his participation in CASACOR.
The architect has already been present at 20 editions of
CASACOR São Paulo , and was even part of the first edition of the event. In addition, he was also present at one of the exhibitions at
CASACOR Rio de Janeiro . Below, we will
recall 7 works already presented .
CASACOR 2001
Back in 2001,
Toninho Noronha predicted that integrating an
office into the bedroom would be a good idea. With a
futuristic feel, the space showed that it is possible to be versatile, welcoming and, to top it off, have an inspiring design that reflects the elegance of his work. Clever ideas incorporated into the design can be seen right here: be it on the
acrylic and gray lacquer shelf next to the raised bed.
CASACOR 2008
Investing in a
contemporary base , Toninho Noronha showed that he can surprise. Straight lines, diverse volumes and bold materials make up the
Master Bedroom and create a balanced mix of colors and textures. “I created a space for a young couple who want to live in the third millennium with pure luxury, without giving up the practicality that modernity offers.”, says the architect.
The choice of
gold in contrast to beige was Toninho's strategy to create a
neutral and cozy base , but with a modern touch, using a color that is simply "a classic" in the expert's view.
CASACOR 2009
Named
Loft do Casal , the space is an annex attached to the
country house to enjoy moments alone or with friends. Betting on a
rustic chic look, contemporary touches were incorporated to make the space light and cozy.
The living room was
integrated with the dining room, fireplace and kitchen, making the space more welcoming and intimate.
CASACOR Sao Paulo 2010
The 70 m² were very well used in this loft created for a young person, just over 20 years old. The composition invested in contrasting colors to the neutral base, with
different patterns and fashionable prints . The idea was to create a
comfortable and beautiful space , but above all practical for a young woman who works and wants to be closer to her clients.
The space harmoniously integrates
the bedroom, living room, home office, bathroom and kitchen . A feminine atmosphere mixing floral fabrics and shades of green creates a beautiful and personalized space.
CASACOR 2014
Strongly influenced by the
Art Deco style of the 1930s, Toninho Noronha innovated with modern pieces in a very contemporary space.
“Art Deco is one of the styles that has survived the most over time due to the modernity of its designs and shapes,” says Toninho, “the glass bricks on the walls, the iron window sills with geometric motifs, abstract nature (foliage) and vertical stripes, the beautiful green color of all of this, are very striking elements of the style and that guided the entire project.” The eye-catching
carpet (Santa Monica) steals the show and stands out in the space. It was custom-ordered for the event and featured a
pattern designed by Toninho in partnership with architect Renato Andrade .
CASACOR 2015
Back to its roots, Noronha rescues its classic palette in
shades of gray - from light to graphite . Still, the composition featured an unexpected
combination of gold, bronze and blue . According to Toninho, "the best thing about our Brazilianness is our mix of cultures, races, styles and concepts. The mix of what is original to our land with what we have managed to absorb from the rest of the world, and it was in this aspect that I was inspired."
In addition to the bedroom, the suite includes a
bathroom with a walk-in closet and a small space for a home office . All without obvious partitions so as not to compromise circulation and furniture layout.
CASACOR 2017
The
Dining Room designed by Toninho adhered to the concept of
"simplicity, comfort and lightness" and was successful in reconciling these three pillars. “I don’t like following trends because they stifle creativity and make the environment temporary. But of course trends end up guiding the project in one way or another, and there’s no problem with that, as long as it happens naturally, not forced, because ‘living’ should be pleasant and light,” says Toninho Noronha. For the architect, after decades of individualism, the proposal for the space is to create a
welcoming atmosphere, integrating the environment to share experiences .
