Transparency integrates CASACOR Rio's environments with Burle Marx's garden

In this edition of CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2016 , the professionals were presented with a main property that in itself is a great source of inspiration: Casa Rosa , in Gávea. The property belonged to the Rocha Miranda family, with a 5,000 m² plot of land and 1,000 m² of built area in 1938. Among the 45 spaces that make up the Rio de Janeiro exhibition, some of them wanted to take advantage of and enhance the beauty and magic of the enormous garden designed by Burle Marx with bucolic corners such as the lake and the fountain. To do this, these architects and designers used a lot of glass to integrate their beautiful spaces with the green exterior of the house. Check it out: Built outside the main house, with 70 m², is the Living Gourmet by Alexandre Gedeon and Hugo Schwartz. The space is composed mainly of wood, concrete and glass with neutral tones and black on the floor, ceiling and furniture. There are three brass Gramp lamps by Jader Almeida, attached to the large glass window, and works of art: a sculpture by Oscar Niemeyer, a painting by Burle Marx, a miniature of a hanging tree by Jorge Mayet, as well as a special texture on the entrance wall designed by Benoit Gentil. The Renault Living Garage by Caco Borges has a very masculine atmosphere inspired by a surfing enthusiast. The roof and façade are made of reflective glass that insulates heat, and the curtains and awnings reflect sunlight. The professional designed the mirror panels and the exposed and painted metal structure, “inspired by St. Pancras train station in London.” With straight lines and simple features, Duda Porto presents a minimalist cabin made of a metal structure with thermoacoustic coating, OSB wood, water-repellent blanket and, finally, a cement board. Sustainability is very present: a dry construction that does not produce residue and has zero waste; all the wood is reused; the ventilation is cross-ventilated, providing thermal comfort inside; there is rainwater collection for reuse and the energy is solar. In addition to the interior beauty, the surrounding garden completes the décor through the glass incorporated into the project. As its name suggests, the Glass House , by Gabriela Eloy and Carolina Freitas, is completely enveloped in the material, which brings together nature and modernism through icons such as Burle Marx, Mies Van Der Rohe and Lina Bo Bardi. A gray granite countertop was designed by the architects, inspired by the shapes of Burle Marx. In this space, the union of nature, design and art through transparency is more than evident.

Márcia Muller and Manu Muller worked on a concept of duplicity in the Deca Space of the show. This is because the environment can be a corporate location (a hotel room) or a residential location (a super suite). The iron, wood and glass structure accommodates the place that has an industrial feel in the materials and touches of artisanal elements. The greenery outside completes the beauty of the space that is present through the glass skins. CASACOR RIO 2016 SERVICE WHEN?
