By the end of the semester, we had a detailed list of all the items needed to furnish a home from start to finish.

Casa Modular | Apê 27 Com o crescimento ascendente do setor imobiliário as residências estão cada vez menores. Devido a esta realidade, projetos que visem a otimização dos espaços são indispensáveis para que cada canto dos ambientes sejam aproveitados. Pensando nisso, o arquiteto Gustavo Calazans criou a Casa Modular, exposta no BGourmet, evento criado pela Brastemp (diga-se de passagem: uma ótima estratégia de branding) e exibido paralelamente à Casa Cor 2011. O projeto da Casa Modular proposto para o BGourmet na Casa Cor 2011 busca refletir sobre o aproveitamento dos espaços residenciais aliando alto grau de complexidade no desenvolvimento de módulos encaixáveis à flexibilidade máxima da composição. O projeto prevê que a habitação padrão seja dividida em 6 módulos, sendo que 2 destes módulos são fixos (banheiro e módulo hidráulico da cozinha) e que os 4 demais módulos sejam deslocáveis através de rodízios na sua base – correndo em uma guia no forro também através de rodízios.
