Sustainability is the key word in 8 environments at CASACOR SC 2021!

Sustainability is one of the pillars of CASACOR 's exhibitions: it is through sustainability that it is possible to ensure that projects are built and dismantled with the minimum amount of waste and residue . The principle also encourages architects, decorators and landscapers in the cast to seek sustainable alternatives. to non-ecofriendly materials . But with the pandemic, sustainability has become not only a guideline, but also a lifestyle. In the words of Beto Gebara , who writes for Espaço Plural in this edition of CASACOR Santa Catarina , "the current reality of the pandemic has made us realize how much It is important that we create an even greater connection with nature , and value the simple and light things in life, but without losing elegance." See below the sustainable solutions in the environments of CASACOR Santa Catarina | Florianópolis 2021 !

1. Suna Reveev Room, Osvaldo Segundo Architects

The Suna Reveev Room incorporates sustainability in every detail – from the wallpaper to the wooden ceiling, from the bathroom floor to the sculpture that decorates the 60 m² space. The 40 ceramic vases that make up the environment come from a cooperative of artisans from the Serra da Capivara National Park , in Piauí, which is home to more than a thousand archaeological sites and is recognized by UNESCO as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The manufacture of ceramics complies with environmental licensing and sustainability standards , in addition to employing around 30 artisans, former park employees, now excellent ceramists. The environment reflects the needs of the new times, which call for peace, calm, comfort, and a call for the return of essence . “It is at this point that architecture can influence people’s lives. The time has come to awaken our consciousness to sustainability , to empathy and caution against excesses”, considers Martina Hasse , the project’s coordinating architect.

2. Loft Naturalle, Michael Zanghelini

At Loft Naturalle , two materials stand out: certified tauari wood , handcrafted from floor to ceiling and untreated; and marble , applied using pieces recovered from the supplier's disposal area. Architect Michael Zanghelini 's idea is to highlight the ancestry of these natural materials , which bring a unique, rustic, elegant and sensorial character – aspects that become even more evident with the lighting in LED profiles, which create the sensation of gaps of light “from the old wooden houses”. Looking to the past, however, does not leave aside the premise of a sustainable future . “When the exhibition ends, each piece already has a certain destination . The entire process is designed to be useful, to have an awareness aligned with the suppliers and avoid any type of waste”, emphasizes the architect.

3. Plural Space, Beto Gebara and Marila Filártiga

More than minimizing impacts, Espaço Plural was designed to have a positive impact , following the concept of regenerative architecture. The duo Beto Gebara and Marila Filártiga designed the space that houses The Hungry Sailor restaurant at CASACOR SC | Florianópolis. The wood used in the panels installed on the walls and ceiling is duly certified , as is the wood mix used in the "monobê" bench (in Tupi Guarani, to gather, to assemble), created and designed by the architect duo. “We used three different types of wood in its composition , peroba mica, black sucupira and jatobá, all certified”, explains Marila. The MDF for the carpentry, from renewable sources , came from a local supplier. Among the decorative pieces, pendant lamps and mandalas produced with waste from the paper factory by the Tramatusa group of artisans, from Lages, in Santa Catarina, and handmade ceramics by Duas Studio de Cerâmica, from Florianópolis. Even the marble for the countertop was chosen because it was in the store's stock, challenging the use of a material that had already been cut and could end up being discarded .

4. Bird House, Tufi Mousse

Architect Tufi Mousse translates this year's CASACOR theme, The Original House , as being "what is enough to make us feel good and happy, without excesses and unsustainable luxuries". The spacious Casa dos Pássaros uses tauari wood from sustainably managed forests certified by Ibama . In these areas, trees are removed using low-impact techniques that maintain the forest structure and allow the forest to recover naturally.

Anyone who enters the Architect's Private Room is immediately drawn to the carpentry that covers an entire wall with slats of sustainably managed tauari wood , and also creates niches for plants, books, decorative objects and an ecological fireplace. The office desk, another unique piece, is the result of reusing waste from an imbuia tree trunk . LED is the main lighting element in the room – including in the piece Abajur Garden, by designer Mauricio D Avila , with a ceramic structure that accommodates a mini garden.

6. Paths Authorship Design, Natália Xavier

In the Veredas Autoria Design space, the freijó panels that cover the walls and ceiling were designed with disassembly in mind. "I designed straight lines, with larger panels, precisely so that I could make better use of the wood in other projects after the show ," says the architect. Natalia Xavier. LED lighting, water-based terracotta paint, ceiling fan with natural straw blades, bamboo blinds, Brazilian marble, reclaimed wood and dried annatto arrangements complete the eco-friendly choices.

7. Loft Íris, Maria Graziella Oliveira and Allan Chierighini

Loft Íris is the perfect combination of technology and sustainability. Designed by Maria Graziella Oliveira and Allan Chierighini , the 110 m² space includes a home theater , office, dining room, gourmet area, master suite, closet, bathroom and guest bathroom. Certified sucupira wood makes up the lining and panels . The project also prioritized sustainable fabrics, produced from leftovers and scraps, as well as natural ventilation and lighting , favored by the integration of the environments.

8. [my.heart.burns], Jeferson Branco

The [meu.coração.queima] project portrays Brazilian living from the perspective of social inequalities: objects from popular culture – such as an orange-framed mirror, a clay water filter and cobogós – are mixed with pieces of renowned and sophisticated design, from of brands chosen for demonstrating socio-environmental responsibility . In the 51 m² space, part of the floor and walls were covered with terracotta ceramics. "After the exhibition, all the material will be ground to be transformed into ecological bricks that we will donate to needy families", says Jeferson Branco, revealing the partnership with the Santa Catarina company EcoMáquinas .
