Sustainable Home: discover CASACOR's projects

01/06 - Casa Grão by Starbucks at Home - Très Arquitetura. This is the first complete house built at CASACOR by the young trio of architects Fernanda Tegacini, Fernanda Morais and Nathalia Mouc, who were guided by the concept of grain, which gives the project its name. In addition, the premises of a generation seeking a more detached, altruistic and humanized life, and the lines of the Mies Van Der Rohe pavilion in Barcelona, also inspired the 100 m² glass box-shaped home, which includes a living room, dining room with a small kitchen and master suite. The light, dry and sustainable iron structure was reused from an old shopping mall mezzanine, and demonstrates the technical expertise of the office. (Divulgação)

02/06 - Lite House - Duda Porto. The idea behind the space is to present the perfect balance in the 190m² house, built in just 40 days. With a restless mind that seeks new solutions, Duda states that the Lite system, which gives its name to the space, brings the concept of modular homes updated with the new way of living. The house can be dismantled and can be easily transported to other plots of land, if the family so wishes. With modular architecture, the unit presented during CASACOR São Paulo has a total area of 190 m² and was built in just 40 days. It will be transported to Gagliasso and Ewbank's summer home. "We will use 70% of the Lite structure, creating a clean and sustainable construction. On the plot, the house will have an extended floor plan, adding two more bedrooms", explains Duda Porto.

03/06 - Shelter - Júnior Piacesi. Detached from the ground, six meters above solid ground, the house encourages connections. The metal structure (which differs from traditional masonry) exudes lightness and transparency, minimally interfering with the landscape. The mimetic façade covered in mirrors plays a game of hide-and-seek in the eucalyptus forest. Inside, the kitchen, table, bed, closet, bathroom and meditation space are integrated. This construction technique is a trend to be followed in Brazilian architecture. “We are moving away from traditional methods towards faster, more economical and sustainable constructions.” (Divulgação)

04/06 - Bauhaus House | Deca Space – Rosalinda Pinheiro. In the year of the Bauhaus centennial celebration, a 52m² modernist house pays homage to the school that revolutionized global design and still influences many designers today. It has two levels: the ground floor, loft style, with an integrated gourmet kitchen and large living room, and the upper terrace, with a gourmet counter, a large table and a living room with comfortable chairs. The vegetable garden is one of the highlights of the project. The project was recognized and awarded as the most sustainable house in the Ceará edition of the exhibition. “The house produced by Sthaus had 50% less noise than the conventional masonry house, thanks to the insulation provided by EPS (expanded polystyrene),” explains Morgana Holanda, partner at Sthaus responsible for the construction of the clean project. “Building homes in record time with greater resistance, durability and without generating waste is a reality revealed by CASACOR Ceará,” she adds.

05/06 - Casa do Bem - Jorge Delmas. It took just four days to build the structure and 35 to complete the construction of Casa do Bem. The project, by architect Jorge Delmas, in partnership with CasaShopping, was built using a dry, clean and sustainable method that uses metal parts as a structure, drywall walls and a roof with cement plates that combine practicality and sustainability and bring more efficiency. A clean project that generates almost no waste and uses little water. Inside, the high ceilings and 145 square meters of space make up a large loft in a contemporary style that features signature design pieces, as well as a photo exhibition by Beto Gatti. (Divulgação)

06/06 - Country Loft - AS FERREIRAS Arquitetura. Installed in a maritime container, the loft proposes a quick, functional and sustainable construction. MDF trusses set the tone for the decor, as well as softening the lighting. Wood stands out as the main covering of the space, which received thermal and acoustic insulation, ideal for a small family.

01/06 - Casa Sumê | LG Connected House - Gustavo Neves. Redefining the use of materials and highlighting the traditions, customs and memories of ancient peoples, Gustavo Neves brings Casa Sumè in partnership with LG, a connected space that exalts true sustainability in all its pillars: social, economic and environmental. Highlighting the ecological Straw Bale construction method, commonly used in natural constructions, which uses straw bales as a sealing element, given the renewable nature of the material.

03/06 - Cosentino Container House - Marilia Pellegrini. In her sustainable project focused on reusing materials, two containers were joined together to create a 60m² house, which features an integrated living room, kitchen and laundry room, as well as a suite with an incredibly comfortable bathroom. The rooms are decorated in shades of white, with a minimalist feel and pieces by great designers, such as Oki Sato, which bring surprising sophistication to the space. The container house also has a 100m² outdoor area with White Lava Granite flooring, a self-irrigating hydroponic garden and an unmistakable bamboo garden. (Divulgação)

04/06 - Mobili Loft - InTown Arquitetura. Mobility was the main starting point for Mobili Loft, a space created by architects Hugo Schwartz and Alexandre Gedeon, from InTown Arquitetura. The Loft's main trend is the viable solutions of habitable modules and their diverse possibilities for adaptation and versatility. The architecture is innovative and itinerant, as the fast and intelligent construction system allows its metal structure to be transported semi-finished to be reassembled anywhere within a period of three to four months, depending on the chosen interior finish. With sustainable architecture in vogue, the use of cobogós allows for natural ventilation and skylights allow for the entry of light. The entire roof of the space is flat and received a blanket that reflects 95% of the sunlight and reduces the thermal sensation inside. (Divulgação)

05/06 - Eucaliptos House - Janaína Pacheco and Maurício Bonfim. With 130m², the project's main differentiator is sustainability. Proof of this is that the metal structure construction system allows for cleaner construction, with virtually no waste, providing larger spans than conventional construction methods. The end result is that the construction site is leaner, thus avoiding waste of mortar and bricks. According to Maurício Bonfim, responsible for all the interior design and furniture for the project, the space will be a refuge for people to relax. "We won't even have a television in the scene. We'll place mirrors in nature to make people look at themselves, in a deep connection with the environment." (Divulgação)

06/06 - Urban House - Sergio Paulo Rabello. The 110 m² house has a living room, bedroom, bathroom and hall. Everything was built with beams, pillars and metal alloy tiles reused from a steel mill. Large slabs of translucent marble serve as cladding and illuminate the walls. A crane helped with the task of arranging the material, sheet by sheet, in the property. All the wood used in the ceiling lining and carpentry is also reused, while the glass is 100% recyclable. (Felipe Araújo)

01/05 - Living - Estela Netto. The largest space in the show (250 m²), designed by architect Estela Netto, prioritized sustainability in its creation. The use of drywall, popularly known as “dry technology”, makes construction more efficient, due to its speed and, mainly, because it is a cleaner working method, drastically reducing waste and leftovers that are harmful to the environment. In addition, the space has pergolas and large glass spans to prioritize the entry of natural light into the space and is composed of numerous natural materials and textures that complement the layout with design, beauty and awareness.

02/05 - Nomad House - Ramiro Mendes. Inspired by the Beat Generation, a group of young North American writers and poets from the 1950s and 60s with a nomadic lifestyle, influenced by Jack Kerouac's On The Road, the house is the place where concerns can be calmed. The space was designed for everyone who is passionate about literature, jazz, meditation and who in this house find the ideal space for a moment of pause and reconnection. The nomadic structure of the container allows the house to be reassembled on any other land, neighborhood or city. Ideal for those who need to feel free to explore new adventures. (Divulgação)

03/05 - Mariana Orsi - Loft DECA. The 56 m² expand and acquire the size of the garden that enters the integrated space. Glass panels are responsible for the closure, while the ceiling, cut by some openings, is covered in solid Tauari. A material that reminds us of a house on stilts. The Diz armchairs are by Sergio Rodrigues. (Felipe Araújo)

04/05 - Casa Basalto - Fernando Luiz Dal Bosco. With 80 m² of internal area and 200 m² of external area, this contemporary home is housed in a cement box quickly built with a steel frame. The rigidity of stones, such as basalt, is contrasted with the use of straw and natural fibers, in pieces with a delicate design. (Lio Simas)

05/05 - Refuge of the Senses - Gouveia and Bertoldi Interior Design. In the center of the lake, this refuge is a sensory island framed by natural greenery. The old structure was updated with integrated elements, automation, water and sewage treatment, an ecological roof and glass skins. Aromatic plants, sophisticated furniture and diverse textures mark the space. (Lio Simas)
