CASACOR Santa Catarina - Casa Grigio, by Cris Passing and Giovane Marangoni. In the project, the open plan also allows the integration of all spaces, with rooms independent of the structure of the house. The maximum opening, provided by the glass, guarantees a free facade.

CASACOR Santa Catarina - Casa Ônix by Karsten, by Gabriel Bordin. Here, the free façade is used, with maximum opening to the outside. The construction is elevated by low stilts, which do not allow visitors to pass below the structure. The façade of the house is also free, with openings in glass and openwork wood.

A new aesthetic phase marked the history of Brazilian architecture. Modernism, a movement that also involved artistic and cultural areas, reached its peak between 1930 and 1950 and resulted in works that transformed the way of thinking and architectural projects.
Worldwide, the movement was led by names such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Miles van der Rohe, Oscar Niemeyer and Le Corbusier. Corbusier was also responsible for defining the five fundamental points of modern architecture. They are: Pilotis, Garden Terrace, Open Plan, Ribbon Window and Free Facade.CASACOR 's team brings modernist inspiration to their projects. In the gallery above, we have selected four environments that apply concepts to construction.
