At Espaço Zen, Felipe and Maria Lúcia Alalou propose a new way of contemplating the view of the Jockey, of a Japanese garden. There, rustic stones refer to mountains and sand, to the journey of life. The protagonist is bamboo, in logs that form a curtain.

The oriental style is increasingly present in Brazilian décor. Proof of this is that it was one of the highlights of the trend at CASACOR São Paulo this year, and inspired some of the spaces in the show, in which typical characteristics of this style can be seen, such as Zen elements that promote a sense of peace and tranquility. But make no mistake: the oriental style encompasses much more than the classics of China and Japan. If you like this idea, you can incorporate features from other countries into your decor, such as Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand and India. And even add a little bit of each. With the inspirations that you will find below, you will have no shortage of ideas. Alalou; Zen Space

No Espaço Zen, Felipe e Maria Lúcia Alalou propõem uma nova forma de contemplar a vista do Jockey, a partir de um jardim japonês. Por lá, pedras rústicas remetem a montanhas e a areia, ao percurso da vida. O protagonista é o bambu, em toras que formam uma cortina. (Divulgação)

The Deca Garden, designed by Alex Hanazaki, features an unusual sensory labyrinth with high aesthetic rigor and is harmonized by a garden composed of a miscellany of geometric features, which provide peace and serenity to the visitor.

Mariana Crego; Sustainable House

A ideia da Casa Sustentável, de Mariana Crego, surgiu após uma viagem que a profissional fez à Tailândia. A cultura local chamou a sua atenção, tanto pela espiritualidade, quanto pelo contato com a natureza e atenção aos detalhes. (Salvador Cordaro)
