Anyone who enters Villa Olivo Todeschini – a space created by João Armentano at CASACOR São Paulo 2018 – is immediately overcome with a feeling of lightness. In keeping with the themeA Casa Viva , the space is a place of refuge and meditation.

The 320 m² Villa was designed around a 300-year-old olive tree brought from Uruguay, which inspired the architect to create the name Olivo. Full integration with nature is the central pillar of the project. Large pivoting glass doors and sunshades bring the freshness and aroma of rosemary planted in the garden, designed by landscaper Daniel Nunes, to the living room.

This feeling of spaciousness is intensified by the choice of furniture, which includes names such as Jader Almeida and Sergio Rodrigues, and also by the meticulous selection of contemporary and antique decorative objects, such as the head of Buddha from the Han Dynasty. The mix of elements, however, It is cohesive and contained, to the extent that it does not create conflicts in the visitor's view. Everything is harmonious.

In the bedroom, the four-poster bed, designed by Armentano himself, is the highlight, and is surrounded by lamps by Gustavo Di Menno, Thonet chairs, and an armchair by Flávio de Carvalho. In the living room next to the bedroom, the dividing panel serves as a frame for the work by Geraldo de Barros. The integration between spaces is fluid and natural, like the design of tree branches.
