Bathroom, by Filipe Monte Serrat, Manuela Dantas, Marianna Resende, Silvana Moraes and Nara Cunha- Esquadra Architects. CASACOR Brasilia 2019 (Jomar Bragança)

Bathroom – Delegacia Arquitetos. Filipe Monte Serrat, Manuela Dantas, Marianna Resende, Silvana Moraes and Nara Cunha reveal the influence of Luis Barragán's volume and colors. From the Mexican architect, they captured the pink in the tiled panel. The traditional covering used in a contemporary way reinforces the geometry in the 41 m² space. The space is also relaxing, with straw objects and part of the floor giving way to pebbles.

Finitura Lounge Bar – Ney Lima. The project pays homage to Niemeyer’s original design and promotes integration between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The bar in the center provides surrounding living spaces, making the most of the 108 m². The Brazilian furniture contrasts with works of art by Christus Nóbrega from Brasília. Among the innovations with a touch of nostalgia is the flooring that is reminiscent of grenatine, widely used in the 1960s.

Chef São Geraldo Space – Choque Arquitetura e Design. Dimitri Lociks and Simone Turíbio update the premises of modernism for the 21st century. Different types of porcelain tiles appear in large formats in brise-soleils and panels. The setting receives few and welcome interferences, such as very light pendants in the lighting, a sideboard with glass legs and leather armchairs.

Florist's Balcony – Elder Galvão. Niemeyer's original curves are accentuated in the space, which has received few changes. The floor, paginated in large slabs of Artemis quartzite, makes Tiffany blue the star. Designer furniture is present in pieces by the Campana Brothers and Ruy Ohtake. Elder Galvão designed the small tables with exotic stone tops.

BSB Lavatory – Under the Block. The cobogós are an architectural creation from the Northeast that has become one of the most well-known symbols of the federal capital. The element, revered by architect Clay Rodrigues, is highlighted by replacing the walls with open structures in these 20 m². To finish off, photographs by João P. Teles.

Tree Balcony – Carolina Nathair. The tree in the central space is the main attraction of the 90 m² space and was the starting point for the project. The plasterwork is used on the walls and highlights the wabi-sabi trend, “the beauty of the imperfect”. The effect contrasts with the delicacy of the buriti straw lamps, produced by a craftswoman from Brasília based on the professional’s design, above the reclaimed wood tables.

Studio Cento e 7 Ene – Under the Block. The idea of unity-neighborhood is one of the most Brasilia-like creations that exist and is in the DNA of this 67 m² studio. The stage lighting games give aesthetic value to the brises, scales and volumes of the building. Between references to São Paulo and the modernism of Brasília, Clay Rodrigues bets on the monochromatic base in national stones and concrete, with interferences of freijó wood and examples of Brazilian furniture.

Journalist's Garden – Mara Rubia Magalhães. For a minimalist look, few and good elements. The back wall received a 3D cement coating, intentionally applied in an irregular manner. The lighting with polyethylene spheres brings an aesthetic appeal, accompanying the simplicity and design of the hanging chairs, on nautical ropes. White vases highlight the beauty of the vegetation.

Concrete Poetry – Studio Arch+. The poem “Das Pedras” by the writer Cora Coralina from Goiás inspired the 100 m² loft of Juliana Veloso, Laísa Figueiredo and Renata Vieira. They opted for the authenticity of the materials on the walls and floor, with the beauty highlighted by indirect lighting. The wood appears in various tones, light on the ceiling and warm on the furniture. The furniture chosen features renowned names such as Jorge Zalszupin and Isay Weinfeld.

Carbon Lavatory – Block 15. Carbon is the main theme of this 20.5 m² space, determining the use of gray and the minimalist atmosphere. Wood, steel, concrete and natural green also join forces in a space that suggests a parallel between man and his habitat. Carolina Piana and Victor Craviée, who designed the project, are winners of the 6th edition of the São Geraldo Young Professional Award-CASACOR Brasília 2018.

Jardim das Oliveiras – Depieri Paisagismo. The 1,500 m² space includes two specimens of olive trees that are more than two centuries old each. Sustainable, the garden invests in plants adapted to the peculiarities of the arid climate and that do not require a lot of water. LED lighting is also economical and highlights the shapes of giant elephant paws, butiás, date palms and aloe thraskii.

#RefúgioVeredas_Cinex – Denise Zuba Studio. Several references coexist in these 500 m². The cerrado is mentioned in Bento Viana's photographs and in pieces from the region. The environment evokes the backlands of Minas Gerais, where Denise Zuba was born, and Portugal, one of the origins of the Brazilian people, with its 200-year-old olive tree. Sofas and armchairs explore different aspects of contemporary art. The open spaces are connected to each other by common materials and colors - and are open to the garden through large spans with sliding doors.

Paper Flowers – Studio Gontijo Arquitetura e Interiores. The paper flower tree quotes the recent campaign created by the luxury New York jewelry company. In this 50 m² space, the beauty of the pieces on display is associated with the architectural concept and biophilic design, which give relevance to natural elements such as concrete, wood and plants. The glass displays are immersed in the illuminated pool, with the turquoise tones of the brand's visual identity.

Handmade Space – Crafts + Design Brasiliense/SEBRAE – Aline Ferreira and Julyanne Alves. The 90 m² space encourages interaction between the public and local crafts and design pieces, gathered in islands of interest. Ropes, branches, wood and terracotta paint reinforce the natural vocation of the space, designed by Aline Ferreira and Julyanne Alves.

Jardim Cor de Cerrado – Gustavo Gall and Érica Cabral. The duo designed the 126 m² space to showcase the richness of the local biome. That's why they brought 15 different native species and only two ornamental ones to compose the landscaping. As for man-made elements, corten steel and its warm tone gain relevance, composing a volume in the middle of the garden.

Country House – Miguel Gustavo. The architect highlighted natural stones and woods in the 120 m² loft. Green is prominent and was the color chosen for one of the main pieces, the sofa, which matches the iconic Mole armchair by Sergio Rodrigues. The open layout favors socializing, keeping the living room and kitchen visually integrated.

17/39 -
Allure Residence Noroeste – Juliana Leão. The 90 m² reproduce the social area of the building, choosing wood as the covering and a mix of reddish and brown colors for more personality. Strokes of green and blue add freshness to the composition, as does the white marble floor. Amilcar de Castro, the Bahian sculptor Zé Bento and Eduardo Sued are among the authors of the works of art.

18/39 -
Garden of Sensations – Fábio Camargo. To create this 400 m² work, the agronomist and landscaper sought his reference in history. More precisely, Le Jardin de Plaisir, by the Frenchman Andre Mollet, dedicated to Queen Christina of Sweden in the 17th century. He envisioned spaces to observe the charms of the landscape. A desire that remains in this millennium, with a sensorial and sustainable perspective.

Gourmet Balcony – Alessandra Moussa. Measuring 60 m², this space is perfect for gathering friends, with large windows that blend in with the landscape. The oxidized floor in earth tones is a good example of the mix between rustic and modern. Handmade cushions and accessories bring a cozy touch, as does the use of reforested wood.

Living room – Kramer Arquitetura/Obras 360º. Designed in 45 m² by architect Rosana Kramer, the living room features a rustic feel while also following international trends. The bar area with wine cellar was delimited by a slatted wooden box, integrated into the living room filled with comfortable furniture and welcoming materials, such as leather, rope, stone and wood.

Entrepreneur Space – Sérgio Borges. The architect is a neuroarchitecture scholar and prepared an unusual experience. Before entering the space itself, the visitor walks through the seven-meter tunnel, lined with two tones of wood in discontinuous strips. The lighting brings a graphic appeal and creates interference on the surface.

Contrapontos Lavatory – VI+LA Project. Winners of this year’s São Geraldo-CASACOR Brasília Young Professional Award, Luma Moroshima and Priscila Gerardi used coverings that refer to cement and mineral agglomerates in the 21 m² space. Industrial elements, such as the metal structure that divides spaces, combine with wood and plants to create a cozy refuge.

Bárbara Square – Léo Romano. Leo Romano reveres the architect Bárbara Paiva, who left us this year. In the square, the 355 m² space stands out with materials that inspire reflection, such as Perla Santana quartzite. The big attraction is the metal furniture, which Leo Romano only revealed at the opening of the exhibition.

24/39 -
Caixa de Memórias – Esquina Arquitetura. Architects Clarissa Braga and Manuela Leite arrange trunks in the 54 m² space, with elements that activate the affective memory of whoever passes by. The trip to the past continues in the furniture with stick legs, typical of the 1950s, without leaving the present aside - a good example are the irreverent Salsa chairs, by Pedro Franco, at the head of the table, and the tiled wall.
(Jomar Bragança)
25/39 -
Lounge Resort – Gui Rodrigues. The mix of materials with natural appeal is the highlight of these 68 m². Ceiling and walls receive MDF boards. The floor has a laminate in the tone of concrete. Plants and objects are placed on the bookshelf that divides spaces, punctuated by modern furniture and LED lamps. The millennial pink armchairs break the formality.
(Jomar Bragança)
26/39 -
Baby's Room – Carol and Reyla Montiel. Designed to welcome two little sisters, the room has a classic inspiration and almost everything is handmade. The wooden furniture is hand-carved and the layette is embroidered in richelieu, one of the oldest known techniques. The colors guarantee a delicate atmosphere, in shades of white and gray, as well as pastel shades of pink and blue.

27/39 -
Alameda Facade – Angela Feitoza. The designer and architect reaffirms her admiration for Brasília and Oscar Niemeyer, mixing contemporary and minimalist elements. Angela combines steel, lots of greenery and concrete slabs that form mosaics on the facade, in a creative application of the product in the 500 m² space.

28/39 -
Estúdio Casa – Ângela Cambraia. The architect had in mind the home of a young artist and, to begin with, expanded the usable area: she created the suspended bed with a meditation nook, which is the project's highlight. The walls make the most of the space with cabinets, shelves and boards. The 1970s floor was restored and has the potential to command the ambiance, with modern furniture and a versatile layout.
(Jomar Bragança)
29/39 -
Seriös Space – Allan Sávio. The 76 m² study and learning environment was designed as an extension of the Seriös School. Form follows function in the design, with furniture that encourages visitors to interact with the space – including using virtual reality glasses. Red and white predominate, combined with scenic lighting effects.

Living Gourmet Casapark – Studio + Valéria Gontijo. Valéria Gontijo, Isabela Moura and Isabela Valença designed the 130 m² space, which features slate flooring and pivoting doors in freijó wood, type muxarabi. Ceiling and walls were neutralized with rust color, which makes an elegant combination with the leather-toned elements and the denim blue of the upholstery.

Leroy Design – Hélio Albuquerque and Sonia Peres. The hollow glass blocks provide a breath of fresh air in the 120 m² space and allow natural light to pass through. Another sustainable touch is the preservation of the original wooden floor. The warm tone of the wood matches the ochre of the walls and the color of the straw on the iconic Rio chaise by Oscar Niemeyer. The turquoise provides a counterpoint and reveals the inspiration for the décor: oil on canvas by Burle Marx.

32/39 -
Arts Lobby / Ticket Office – Gilson Freire. The scenic lighting transforms the space into an art gallery, but textures also stand out on the rough walls, wooden details, stone countertops and floor covering the 70 m² space. Natural colors warm up the space, enhancing the works of art and photographs by Gabriel Wickbold.

33/39 -
Restaurante Libertad – Renata Dutra Arquitetura + Avocado Design. The multidisciplinary team designed the space, which is the show’s official restaurant, as an extension of the individual. The result is relaxed and sophisticated, combining materials that arouse curiosity. The two-tone floor is made with marble scraps, the ceiling is green and Quadroline is the aluminum cladding chosen for some walls.

Jeep Refuge – BEP Arquitetos. The sensations awakened by architecture are enhanced by the CASAVIVA theme. Integration into the garden is the perfect excuse to highlight the textures of natural materials, such as wooden lining. With loose walls, the spaces unite two areas: garage and cozy living room, which share natural light, in these 115 m². Nature also guides the choice of dry construction, which minimizes waste and resource use.
(Jomar Bragança)
35/39 -
Casa Arauco – Walléria Teixeira. Scandinavian design sets the tone for the space, which features predominantly beige, gray and black, with touches of gold. Natural light is prominent, as is the light wood and marble that look like works of art in the integrated bathroom. Textures overlap and create a delicate backdrop for the furniture, which combines antique and contemporary pieces.
(Jomar Bragança)
36/39 -
Glass House – Orla Studio. The cosmopolitan charm of New York was the guiding principle behind the construction of the show’s official café, which measures over 100 m². The space incorporates glass, wood, industrial elements and the use of plants on the roof, which connect visitors to nature and convey the concept of urban forests. Of course, references to Brasília could not be left out, present in pieces and furniture by local designers.

Concrete Annex – Carpaneda & Nasr Arquitetos Associados. Concrete, stone and slatted wood are predominant in this 130 m² annex, which features "an architecture with a lot of meaning and little information", according to Laísa Carpaneda and Flávia Nasr. An interesting detail is the reinvention of the Victorian bay window - the window in the background has a concrete frame, which also functions as a bench, for conversation and contemplation.

38/39 -
Box 26 – Alf Arquitetura. The space was surrounded by gardens, so André Alf and Marina Lage designed a glass house. Concrete, the basis of Brasília's construction, is the inspiring source of the 70 m² space, used on the floor, walls and benches. Notice, for example, the aquarium with exotic species of fish, transformed into a support structure for the bar.
(Jomar Bragança)
39/39 -
Amazônia Vivá – Só Reparos – MAAI – Arquitetos Associados. Among the many “Amazonias”, architects Monica Pinto, Arnaldo Pinho and Isabel Veiga created one in Brasília. The 170m² space invites you to explore the multisensory environment with different air humidity, forest sounds, warm tones, lush greenery and rustic plaster-like textures on the walls and ceiling.

It is impossible to escape the curves designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the capital. With each edition, CASACOR Brasília reveals how the modernism of the 1950s and 1960s not only retains its breath, but also surprises with its possibilities for renewal. In this edition, the headquarters is a separate attraction, located in Casa da Manchete – an emblematic building designed by Niemeyer, in the Setor de Indústria Gráficas (SIG).Built in 1978, it housed the headquarters in Brasília of the now-defunct Manchete magazine and TV channel, but remained abandoned after the end of the communications group, until it was acquired by the Paulo Octavio Group. The house is organized into three wings around a central courtyard, forming a "U" plan, interspersed with gardens. Now, it has been reinterpreted with the innovations of the 39 rooms designed by around 60 professionals , in 5,000 m² .The 2018 theme,A Casa Viva , permeates all spaces. Both because the environments are more focused on coexistence and celebration, and because of the relevance that nature assumes in each scene. The arid climate of Brasília becomes the inspiration for raw and rough textures – in fact, roughcast is all the rage. Leather, ropes, straw, metal and stones also win over with their raw beauty. Not to mention the warm and vibrant tones that refer to the cerrado, in contrast with the greens and turquoises that recall Brasília's infinite sky.But concrete is one of the main elements. It exposes the authenticity of structures, creates solid furniture and is a material that finds an ally in time, just like modernism and the works of Oscar Niemeyer. It is with this perspective between reverence and innovation that CASACOR Brasília opens its doors. Check it out!CASACOR SERVICE Brasilia 2018WHEN? From September 12th to October 30th, 2018
