CASACOR SP 2018 Transstudio explores the sensitivity of a trans woman

“I wanted to visually convey the character’s gender transition. A story marked by a lot of struggle and strength,” says Ricardo Abreu Borges about the project he signed for CASACOR São Paulo 2018 , Transtudio . In this context, the professional presents on site of 30 m² the sensitivity and tension of a transsexual woman, translating a hybrid of feelings, stories and sensations.

The space combines a living room, bedroom, bathroom and work area, with all spaces integrated and framed by a pink boiserie wall, an element responsible for lending a delicate fragrance to the project.

The design is striking and important in the project, with several pieces from the contemporary scene. This is the case of the Brown pendant, by Estúdio Cristiana Bertolucci; and the Cigarra Alta armchair in green, by Marcos Maia and Gilmar Mazari. The furniture curation is reinforced by the presence of works of art signed by talents such as Maria Bonomi, Sidney Amaral, Evandro Prado, Vitor Mizael and Telma Melo.

The bathroom is considered the highlight of the project. Normally hidden in houses, the toilet appears completely exposed in Transtudio , subverting architectural rules. “Here, the bathroom appears without shame and materializes the acceptance of the modified body”, he says. To crown the narrative aesthetics of the environment, he included a neon sign with the phrase “ Be Anything ” on the wall.
