Women have made (and continue to make) history in the most diverse areas of knowledge, and in architecture and interior design this is no different. With modern, strong and stylish projects , they make their presence felt and leave plenty of inspiration that spans generations. For this reason, we have selected great Brazilian architects who have left their mark on CASACOR and are true veterans of the exhibitions. Check them out!

Brunete Fraccaroli

For over 30 years creating and innovating in her projects, architect Brunete Fraccaroli sets trends and is highly sought after for her characteristic colorful look. The architect was present at CASACOR São Paulo 2022, showing off a powerful look in which white prevails. The project signed as Through the Eye transcends the rustic and the contemporary. In her projects, Brunete explores colors, textures and shapes in a harmonious mix full of contrasts. A practical example of these characteristics can be seen in her project Acqua Que Te Quero Água , designed by the specialist for CASACOR São Paulo 2015. The 300 m² were very well used in a space designed for a chef. The color Acqua Fraccaroli , by Silestone, was chosen to compose the look and make the space cozy and harmonious. Mixing green, blue and other incorporated hues is a challenge, but also Brunete's trademark. Here we can see that, even in different environments, the architect was able to create a dialogue between all the spaces in the project. Shades of gold contrast with green and blue and bring sophistication to the bathroom design. The veteran has already been confirmed to be part of the CASACOR São Paulo 2023 squad .

Clarisse Reade

Clarisse Reade 's work could not go unnoticed. With 15 participations in CASACOR São Paulo , the architect continues to be an inspiration for women in architecture. The Couple's Studio was a project created by Clarisse together with Adriana Pereira and Carolina Reade for CASACOR São Paulo 2016 . Works of art took center stage in the space and were responsible for the inspiring atmosphere of the décor . In addition, the right choice of furniture focused on pieces with a unique design, but which are also comfortable. Called Studio 4 , the space was designed by Clarisse Reade, alongside the Pereira Reade office (made up of Carolina Reade and Adriana Pereira), and was exhibited at CASACOR São Paulo 2018 . The space was designed for a young person who loves books and entertaining friends . Art, sober colors and contemporary furniture were chosen for a unique composition full of personality.

Debora Aguiar

With over 20 years of experience in the national market, architect Debora Aguiar has already confirmed her presence at CASACOR more than seven times . In 2021, this was no different: the veteran once again made her presence felt at the São Paulo show with the charming and elegant Riserva Todeschini project, which reflects her striking style and values sophistication. In 2019, the architect presented Dolce Villa Todeschini . Contemporary and timeless features gave the space a unique charisma and a cleaner atmosphere, where plants add color. It is worth highlighting the cascading light fixture in the dining area. The neutral base worked beautifully in Debora Aguiar's project for CASACOR 2012. The architect once again invested in a clean environment where plants brought the space to life. Focusing on coziness, sofas were arranged symmetrically throughout the space and show in a practical way how to ensure good circulation in a space.

Denise Barretto

With 17 confirmed appearances at CASACOR , architect Denise Barretto innovates with each appearance. With projects for the commercial and residential segments, the specialist follows a contemporary line in her spaces. Brazilian art was the great inspiration for Denise Barretto in her living room Atelier de Morar , exhibited at CASACOR 2019. She invested in more subtle furniture, with less flashy and more sophisticated colors. “Fellowship and introspection alternate in this composition, with a theme of comfort, timelessness, few elements and respect for sustainability”, says Denise Barretto . The kitchen was one of the project's favorite spaces. In a modern composition, earthy tones and wood combine to bring charm and originality to the decor. Practicality was the most important pillar. The island fulfills a dual function : it supports residents when cooking and also serves as a counter for quick meals.

Fernanda Marques

The loft was designed to masterfully integrate the interior and exterior with contrasting materials and a harmonious base. The sofa in front of the fireplace is a great choice for enjoying good times in an intimate atmosphere. The space for rest and work is the dream of many who are experiencing the home office experience. With an inspiring view of the outside, the architect invested in a light wood annex to give the space a sense of tranquility and a more natural look. In addition, books took center stage in the space, with a very creative asymmetrical layout.

Marina Linhares

Combining sensitivity and mastery with each project, Marina Linhares has over 20 years of experience with CASACOR, creating original projects that reflect the personality of the resident. In his last appearance at CASACOR São Paulo last year, Linhares presented a cozy, modern home for a creative person who loves reading and appreciating art and design. With colorful pieces arranged on a neutral base, the project surprised visitors - and made them want to stay there. Named Casa da Gente , the project exhibited at CASACOR 2015 prioritizes simplicity without sacrificing elegance in 70 m². The space features a natural palette , wooden elements and warm tones of red and white. Indigenous references were incorporated to create a more rustic look – with photographs, ornaments and a wood-burning stove. The nautical style was very well represented in the Casa da Praia Decortiles project. “In this environment I wanted to portray what I have always sought in my work: a fresh atmosphere , with a selection of what makes sense in a given space and always following the intuition honed over these 20 years”, says the specialist. With a predominant blue and white palette, the space evokes the colors of the sea . The duochromatic look ensures a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for the beach house.

Paola Ribeiro

With delicate and surprising projects, Paola Ribeiro shows the power of simple things. The veteran works with timeless looks that draw attention to the details. During her participation in CASACOR Rio 2022, she designed Living da Fonte, a space designed to host meetings, meals, reading, rest and leisure moments. This year, the professional will be present at the São Paulo show. With works that move between the contemporary and the timeless, Paola Ribeiro is one of the great names to have passed through CASACOR . In 2021, the architect became famous at the show with her project for the Master Bedroom . A true temple of comfort that serves as a "blank canvas" for a series of bold works of art incorporated into the project. Detail: all the works are by women! With over two decades working on unique and sensitive projects, the architect develops her creations thinking about a strong relationship between the past, the present and the future . An industrial kitchen full of style and practicality was the result of Paola Ribeiro 's project for CASACOR São Paulo 2018. The space was named Casa Terra and the aim was to create an integration between the internal spaces and nature. This is highlighted in the kitchen by the choice of practically integrated niches around the entrance, which allow a wide view of the outside. The architect was able to incorporate two trees into the project and integrated them into the composition with harmony and respect for nature. To achieve this, she opted for more sober tones on a base in which wood is very present. The feeling of being in a garden is reinforced by the use of glass and large frames , inviting greenery into the space.

Rosa May

With over three decades of experience, interior architect Rosa May Sampaio has already won 14 awards and made five appearances at CASACOR throughout her career. The architect also has projects throughout Latin America. During CASACOR São Paulo 2022, the veteran presented a classic living room, but with contemporary touches such as the integration of spaces - especially the living and dining rooms with an office. Filled with works of art, the space brings together the concept of art in connection with architecture. Studio Minimal was Rosa May's project for CASACOR 2013. Here, the minimalist style was very well represented through furniture with very elegant, classic features. What could have been a traditional black & white look was broken up by the use of leather armchairs, which made the space even more charismatic and sophisticated. Another project designed by the architect, this time for CASACOR São Paulo 2018 , was the Library Room . The 50 m² were well used and reinforced the elegant look in neutral tones that contrast with pieces that were hand-selected. Rosa May explores a mix of pieces to create a more eclectic look . The Sputnik chandelier in darkened bronze is a characteristic element from the 70s that, despite being classic, combines well with more timeless and modern furniture.
