Duda Porto - Casa Lite. In this space at CASACOR São Paulo, the large frames have shrimp doors with muxarabis. They allow the home to be bathed in natural light during the day and preserve its intimacy at night.

André Lenza - Kozu BLACK. This contemporary bar and restaurant was located in CASACOR Goiás. To create a barrier-free environment, the architect used muxarabi on the facade. The weave erases the border between interior and exterior, in addition to creating beautiful designs in daylight.

Nildo José - Casa Dendê. The mystical and tranquil atmosphere is the result of the natural light filtered by the mashrabiya. It was installed next to the glass roof. One of the highlights of CASACOR São Paulo.

Nildo José - Casa Dendê. The central module, completely enclosed by trusses, concentrated the kitchen and bathroom areas on opposite sides. Light enters the space completely, which can be isolated when the folding doors are closed. The solution caught the attention of CASACOR São Paulo.

Patrícia Neto - Leisure Club. At CASACOR Goiás, the architect created a refuge. Closing the box where the space is located further dilutes the indirect lighting. The effect is relaxing, and also matches the Brazilian style of Sérgio Rodrigues' furniture. Note that it is possible to insert pictures on a lattice wall.

Moacir Schmidt and Salvio Moraes Jr. - Casa OAK. At CASACOR São Paulo, the project drew attention for its modern use of mashrabiyas. Here, they frame the living room and subtly separate it from the kitchen. Since both spaces feature the same finishes, with emphasis on the oak veneers, the feeling is one of continuity.

With a geometric yet artisanal appeal, lattices play an interesting role in revealing and hiding in CASACOR ’s spaces. In the 2019 season, this element appears in various forms. Lattices appear as panels that are combined with lighting resources, create fluid dividers between spaces, enclose spaces or lend lightness to carpentry.
This element arrived in Brazil through the Portuguese and became part of colonial architecture. In the 1960s and 1970s, the lattice was rediscovered and consecrated as a synonym for Brazilianness. It has everything to do with our tropical and sunny climate. Today, these structures can be made from different materials and are considered a sustainable architectural solution. After all, they allow the controlled passage of natural light and ventilation into spaces, taking advantage of these resources to provide comfort and beauty. A breath of fresh air, after all.
