PUC Lourdes once again hosts CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. The 31st edition, which runs until October 6, occupies the 1941 building designed by Italian Raffaello Berti, further highlighting its grandeur and historical relevance. From its entrance to the end of the exhibition tour, however, the public will encounter a scenery completely different from the previous year, one that promises to surprise. This edition features 40 projects, signed by a team of 54 professionals from the fields of architecture, design, and landscaping.

The lineup includes renowned names, rising professionals, and also new talents. "This is an edition completely different from the previous one, with new spaces, a renewed dynamic, more generous projects, and truly surprising designs signed by a heavyweight cast," highlights director Eduardo Faleiro.
"It is important to remember that, in addition to launching and confirming the main movements observed in architecture, interior design, landscaping, and art, CASACOR Minas is an incredible space for networking, connecting creative professionals, industry, and the public. Furthermore, the program still holds an inexhaustible variety of events, such as lectures, meetings, and chats, in addition to the gastronomic structure created to value our talents," points out Juliana Grillo, director of CASACOR Minas.

Visitors to the exhibition will be able to see up close the details of the facade lighting and landscaping project, signed by the Atiaîa Lighting Design team, created to enhance the building's Art Déco architecture, highlighting the subtle interplay of its volumetry. Right at the entrance, the strong impact of the Paralaxe project, by Greco Design, with its mirrors, whose proposal is to discuss the excess of images surrounding us. Next to it, named Alento, the PUC Minas Foyer, signed by Bárbara Pazzini and Camila Vilela, a project that will be permanent after the exhibition ends.
Estúdio Sala – Canvas. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Estúdio Sala/CASACOR)
The Box Office and the Lobby bear the signature of Maycon Altera. Both share the same language, and the lobby was treated as a key project in the user experience, welcoming the visitor with sophistication and hospitality. Estúdio Sala presents the Canvas project, inspired by the welcoming atmosphere of the living rooms of the 1970s. The office Silvia Carvalho Arquitetura, responsible for the Living Franccino Safra 25, presents a space to be discovered in layers, including hall, lounge, dining, and living areas that connect in a fluid composition. Myrna Porcaro and her Living and Winter Garden proposes that her project be enjoyed as an oasis of pure well-being surrounded by lots of art and lots of green.
Bruna Raid – Lounge Philco. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Henrique Queiroga/CASACOR)
In Lounge Philco, Bruna Raid transforms the TV room into a project of pure comfort in a sophisticated setting that creates a dialogue between art and architecture. Signing two projects, Estela Netto named Interlúdio the space she signs, characterized by elegant proportions, noble materials, and precise curation of iconic pieces and objects. In the Life Fitness Space, the architect extends the aesthetic language proposed in the previous project and creates a residential gym focused on the training experience, combining performance, technology, and design. In Raízes Sensoriais, architect Holdlianh Beiró brings to the Maison Deboá store, specialized in aromas, a proposal inspired by the principles of neurodesign, stimulating the senses in an integrated way.
Flávia Gamallo e Joana Veloso - Criatura Galeria. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Criatura Galeria/CASACOR)
With a different language, but with the same goal of slowing down, Eduarda Fernandes presents a living bar designed to reclaim the value of time in A Última Hora da Casa. Meanwhile, Flávia Gamallo and Joana Veloso add color to CASACOR Minas with Criatura Galeria, a collectible design space dedicated to contemporary authorial production.
Luisa Mano - Cozinha Brastemp. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Jomar Bragança/CASACOR)
Understated luxury and great perfectionism make the Brastemp Kitchen, by Luisa Mano, a project attentive to details, thus building a hybrid space that welcomes multiple uses, redefining the perception of living. The refined language is also present in Loft do Criador, by Gláucia Britto Arquitetura, full of identity and inspired by the atmosphere of contemporary horse farms. To transform time into an experience, Jefferson Otávio created Saleta Entretempos, inspired by a host passionate about art, music and gatherings. And the office Castro Maakaroun Design, in its Home Office Entre Performance e Pertencimento, offers an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and introspective, surpassing the original proposal of traditional work projects.
Bárbara Antunes Arquitetura - Refúgio Entre Tempos. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Osvaldo Castro/CASACOR)
In Espaço Kazza, Alexandre Rousset presents a project/installation with a surprising composition, combining form and function of various curtains from the brand. Named Refúgio Entre Tempos, Bárbara Antunes proposes a project where curves, natural materials and welcoming textures embrace a silent sophistication. And it is in Casa para Durar – Loft Isofort, that Studio 126 creates a loft designed as a light and continuous space, with extremely detailed architecture, conceived to move.
CastelloCambraia – Maturidade Compartilhada. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Jomar Bragança/CASACOR)
Maturidade Compartilhada, by the office Castello Cambraia, presents a living that invites coexistence in an atmosphere of welcome and belonging. Meanwhile, Marcela Aquino creates, in Jantar Interlúdio, a composition that operates between a past that is not at all nostalgic and a future that has already arrived. In Suíte Alma, Flavía Pereira draws inspiration from the trend of remote work that can be performed anywhere in the world to create a suite that is perfect for extended hotel stays.
Framo Arquitetura - Pausa e Permanência. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Jomar Bragança/CASACOR)
A lounge and, next to it, the public restroom, named Pausa e Permanência and signed by Framo Arquitetura, brings different materialities in a composition that transforms a functional space into a welcoming project. With great impact, Galeria Auá, by Fernando Godoy, offers an immersive experience, in which Brazilian architecture, art and design meet in the works of Marcos Coelho Benjamin. Right after, the Gustavo Eyewear store, by Isabella Almeida Arquitetura, sophisticatedly values not only the customer experience but also the displayed product: eyewear treated as works of art.
Esc Arquitetura - Cria Café. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Estúdio Teluria/CASACOR)
The surprise continues at Cria Café e Galeria, by Esc Arquitetura, where sustainability guided every choice in a project with the feel of a square, which continues outside in the art gallery (which will host a new exhibition every week). Eagerly awaited every year, the Empório Origem Minas and the Arte Popular Origem Minas space are signed by the Em Cena Arquitetura office.
Play Arquitetura - Rivino Bar Banca. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Studio Teluria/CASACOR)
Outside the building, the surprises continue. Starting with the Raízes da Terra space, by Cynthia Silva and Kat Rosa, where wood and lush landscaping are the protagonists. Also surprising is the Refúgio, created by the L-ARA office, a charming construction that dialogues with the Minas Gerais way of building, preserving texture, scale, and irregularities. More surprises along the way, with Play Arquitetura proposing a new use for a newsstand, which was transformed into a Bubble Bar, named Rivino Bar Banca, which boils down to a simple little box on the outside and sophisticated on the inside.
Fabíola Constantino – Cabana Wellness. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Gustavo Xavier/CASACOR)
Another impactful work is the Pavilhão Oca, by BCMF Arquitetos, a proposal that combines a 3D-printed concrete base and a large vault of braided rebars. From this project, Flávia D'urso presents the Entretempos garden as a space of permanence, encounter, and reconnection, where landscaping reveals itself as a living organism. We then arrive at the Cabana Wellness, by Fabíola Constantino, where everything was thought out in the details, without excess, but with many subtleties, including aromas and rituals of a young woman who leads a life focused on physical and mental health. The Bem-Estar garden, a project by Nãna Guimarães, brings a botanical selection that bets on aromatic and dynamic plants. Continuing with comfort and warmth, the Varanda de Convivência, by Ana Mendes, is exactly what the name proposes, using architecture, landscaping, and technology in absolute balance.
Balsa Arquitetura – Agnes. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Jomar Bragança/CASACOR)
We arrive at the Listening Bar – Bar Rivo, by the Moretzsohn Arquitetura office, with two projects, one open and one closed, in which the counters, furniture from different eras, and lighting that highlights artworks on the double-height wall stand out. Before reaching the restaurant, Pedro Félix presents the Living Guararapes, a sensory lounge that balances aesthetic precision, warmth, and emotional experience. Almost at the end of the route, the Agnes restaurant, a project by Balsa Arquitetura, creates a wave of unusual proposals, starting with the huge communal table that runs the length of the entire hall and all the other details that are the perfect translation of chef Agnes Farkasvolgyi, who runs the space. Closing the circuit with the tone of this edition, Studio Arquitetônico designed the Varanda Gourmet Aura, a project that proposes the encounter between perception and emotion and seeks to recover the pleasure of texture, temperature, and the physical presence of matter.
Atiaîa Lighting Design - Iluminação da Fachada e Externo. Projeto da CASACOR Minas Gerais 2026. (Jomar Bragança/CASACOR)
Originally built to house the Instituto Metodista Izabela Hendrix, the building is now the headquarters of PUC Minas Lourdes. The site also housed the architecture and urbanism school of the Instituto Metodista Izabela Hendrix, considered one of the best programs in the field in the country. The building, which is now part of the Circuito Liberdade, is listed as a heritage site by the competent authorities and draws attention for its grandeur as well as its historical relevance. Designed by the Italian architect Raffaello Berti, author of more than 200 works in the city such as the City Hall, Minas Tênis Clube, Santa Casa, the Post Office headquarters, among others, the building was also the headquarters of the architecture and urbanism school of the Instituto Metodista Izabela Hendrix, which was once considered one of the best programs in the field in the country. Acquired at the end of 2023 by PUC Minas, the listed property is the headquarters of PUC Lourdes, currently housing the programs of Architecture and Urbanism, Digital Games, Business Administration, Accounting Sciences, and Economic Sciences.
In Berti's design, one can perceive a subtle influence of modernist traits, with a predominance of the Art Déco style. The construction stands out for the precision of its forms and also for including some aesthetic experiments at the time, such as the tall and narrow windows, which form a very characteristic design on its facade. The floor plan is symmetrical and functional, and the circulation leads to an outdoor patio from where one can contemplate the building. The stone-dust facade, another very striking characteristic of the era, is also a signature of the architect, present in other projects signed by him.
