After living for many years on his farm in the countryside, the owner of the house decides to change his life and chooses to live in the capital. With this narrative, Renato Moraes de Mello created the Sala com Arte, at
CASACOR Rio Grande do Sul . “Passionate about art , through travel and Brazilian culture, he brought in his luggage a little of its history and objects that make him happy”, says the architect.
With this affectionate gaze, he gathered a powerful and delicate set of references and memories, which intertwine roots, childhood, and Brazilian culture. The space was created for
CASACOR Rio Grande do Sul , but it seems to have been alive there for years, with furniture, rugs and objects that seem to have been in the family for generations. The warm appeal of the deeper shades of green and red in the décor is undeniable, as is the strong presence of wood. The slatted panel provides directional light to the bar, which is full of memories.
The machined concrete floor and the use of white provide a neutral and timeless backdrop for the project. They serve the purpose of serving as a base for the sophisticated and rich collection of works of art. In the room, works by Anita Malfatti, Tarsila do Amaral, Tomie Ohtake, Djanira da Motta e Silva, Burle Marx, Alfredo Volpi coexist in a dazzling way. And the great names don't stop there: the attentive eye finds paintings by Di Cavalcanti, sculptures by Victor Brecheret and Alfredo Ceschiatti, drawings and a sculpture by Carybé and a photograph by Roberto Pazzi.

The hall wall was covered with handmade hydraulic tiles, made especially for the room. The pattern they form is reminiscent of the style of old railings, similar to those found in rural farmhouses.

“We emphasize the recovery of things that remind you of your history, your roots, with simplicity in evidence. The value is not in the object, but in what it represents to you,” summarizes the architect.
