Casa Capital and Cozinha Deca bring modernity and organicity closer together

The Casa Capital and Cozinha DECA sets of spaces were created, respectively, by the veteran CASACOR duo, Ney Lima and Walléria Teixeira. The projects pay homage to the modern architecture of the CASACOR Brasília 2019 headquarters, by Oscar Niemeyer, through a decoration sober and minimalist, but with natural and technological elements. This year, both will participate together in the Janelas CASACOR project, signing the São Geraldo Gourmet Box also in Brasília.

Unexpected combinations

When combined, the spaces form a complete residence, with a living room, kitchen, reception area, bathroom and bedroom, totaling 192 m². All the rooms are integrated and take advantage of the mix of materials and patterns to create an intriguing atmosphere, which is not fits neither “industrial” nor “organic”.

The architects use straight lines alongside curves, glass boxes next to woven baskets, plants on cutting-edge metal kitchen islands. The greatest representation of this amalgam of styles, however, is the large 21m² LED panel, which projects images of nature, creating a dynamic and playful scenario.

Technology and design

Referencing the modernist tradition of extensive use of concrete, the walls were covered in gray, with a rustic texture. The vinyl flooring, on the other hand, simulates wood. Both the paint and the covering are sustainable. So that the bathroom would not look isolated from the rest of the house, a smart glass was used that is made of an ultra-thin display placed between two sheets that, when not occupied, remains colorless. When activated, it becomes opaque. The furniture is made up of exclusive pieces by designer Jader Almeida, including the Up Armchair by Gaetano Pesce and the stainless steel sinks by Deca. The sofa allows for several different arrangements, ensuring that everyone can sit comfortably. regardless of the situation. The works of art were selected by visual artist Valéria Pena Costa.
