The granite countertop creates the illusion of being suspended, floating in the environment. The earth, one of the basic elements of nature, is referenced in the background of the wall that houses a hanging garden.

Ao chegar no ambiente de 25 m², o visitante encontra os boxes particulares em formato de ovos/casulos. Eles foram desenvolvidos com materiais sustentáveis e tecnológicos, representando a individualidade. Dentro, o visitante escuta o som do útero materno. Ao sair, o espaço evoca uma música de balada. O papel do sistema de automação de alta qualidade, que oferece uma boa acústica, foi decisivo. (Sidney Doll)

In her first participation at CASACOR São Paulo 2019 , Bárbara Salles opted for a playful atmosphere and synesthetic architecture. In the conceptual bathroom 3 Elements, sensations stimulate perceptions to increase well-being and awaken self-knowledge. The proposal brings awareness to the current moment and makes us reflect on the relationship between man and nature. Every detail connects sustainability, technology and affection - which are the pillars of the 2019 theme, Planet Home .

Bárbara Salles revealed that the biggest challenge of the project was the ceiling. Originally, it had a large unevenness, and correcting it would make it too low. So she decided to make a light slit from the wall that goes up to the ceiling, transforming this feature into a element of value for the project. Both the floor and the panel were covered with the same MDF boards, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Mirrors show that, despite being individuals, we are many. Everything encourages visitors to find a moment of introspection, inviting them to reflect from the inside out, to improve their way of living, thinking and acting.
