The feature walks through the house's three floors, the design's response to the topography with parking for six vehicles in the basement, the elevator, the glass-skinned staircase and the vertical garden as a central element. It highlights the solar orientation, the indoor-outdoor integration, the custom millwork, the automated lighting design and the large-format slab cladding that unites the façade, staircase and fireplace.

The new Artefacto Curitiba window displays, part of the “Meu Lugar” concept, bear the signature of Caroline Bollmann, of Espaço A Arquitetura, and Jocymara Nicolau, in a mutual tribute between the two architects.
The feature details the concept behind the integrated window displays, the ephemeral installation uniting the two spaces, and the curation of furniture and objects for the store.
Artefacto Curitiba: exclusive window displays by Caroline Bollmann and Jocymara Nicolau
Feature about the more than 100 m² space designed by Caroline Bollmann to represent the honored architect's studio, with a palette of soleta leather, linen and freijó wood.
The text includes the architect's comments on creating a space free of excess yet full of personality, shapes and textures, and highlights the connection with nature as one of the pillars of her work.
With a small extension of the house, the former barbecue area was transformed into a gourmet pantry with a central island and new possibilities for use.
The feature shows the challenge of renovating and expanding the interior of a house in Curitiba, integrating the pantry with the social areas.
Before and after the renovation with Carol Bollmann
The architect presents the step-by-step renovation of a veterinary clinic in Curitiba, set up in an old residential property in the Alto da Glória neighborhood.
The material follows the stages of the construction work and the design decisions made to adapt the house for specialized commercial use.
A 450 m² house in a gated community in the Tingui neighborhood of Curitiba, with light colors and large openings that maximize natural light in every room.
The feature highlights the inspiration drawn from the lot's native vegetation, the large openings integrated with the outdoor area, and the double-glazed window frames providing acoustic and thermal comfort.
A roughly 450 m² party hall, built more than 35 years ago and abandoned by the residents of a gated community, undergoes a complete retrofit signed by the architect.
Beyond the project, the interview shares the architect's personal view on what she considers luxury in architecture.
Functional, integrated spaces foster family life in a minimalist apartment

Finishes and decoration add charm to the barbecue area
The barbecue area gets well-seasoned design and accessories: the feature shows how finishes, lighting and proportions transform this area into a leisure space in apartments and houses.
Consultada sobre o dimensionamento, a arquiteta Caroline Bollmann explica que não existe medida padrão: tudo depende de quantas pessoas o morador costuma receber e do tipo de carne que costuma assar. Em apartamentos, a média da boca da churrasqueira é de 50 cm a 60 cm; nas casas, varia entre 70 cm e 80 cm.
Architecture, space, lighting and landscaping conceived simultaneously and in an integrated way make this house designed by Caroline Bollmann a success story in Campo Comprido, Curitiba. With every discipline perfectly in sync, the 500 m² construction was completed in just 12 months — the studio was involved from choosing the lot to the family's move-in.
The feature covers the contemporary-lined façade with large openings and neutral colors, the landscaping and lighting that mark the corners of the house, the suspended deck over the slope with a view of the city, the fireplace room clad in Limestone Vermond, the lounge with a built-in wine cellar, the powder room with wood-panel flooring and the day room integrated with the kitchen, with automation and sound embedded in the plaster ceiling. In the private area, the couple's suite features studio-designed millwork in matte and high-gloss fendi lacquer, with dark rovere wood accents, a panel-integrated closet, and a bathroom with a skylight over the whirlpool tub, a city view and a shower enclosure sealed up to the ceiling. Text by Vivian de Albuquerque, photos by Daniel Katz.
Children's bedroom: the design starts with the profile of who will live in it
The feature discusses how designing a children's bedroom can organize the home without taking away the child's freedom to play. Caroline Bollmann comments on the starting point of each space.
Para a arquiteta, experiente em espaços infantis, o projeto de um quarto é muito mais do que uma combinação de cores, formas e conceitos: “Cada detalhe funciona como atrativo específico, instigando a criança a desenvolver melhor seus sentidos e suas capacidades de concentração.” A reportagem destaca ainda a separação de zonas e os nichos decorativos como soluções simples de organização.
Navy blue in decoration: the reference came from a Mostra Artefacto
When choosing navy blue for a home theater wall, the blog looked for references of spaces already executed in that tone — and points to Caroline Bollmann's project for the Mostra Artefacto as one of them.
O post detalha o tom exato utilizado, comenta o efeito da luz sobre a cor (que na parede fica mais clara do que no catálogo) e defende as combinações de azul-marinho com bege ou branco. Entre as imagens de inspiração aparece o ambiente assinado pela arquiteta na mostra.

Bathtubs: open spaces and smart fixtures replace oversized models
The feature addresses the desire for bathtubs at home, the minimum space required and alternatives for compact bathrooms. Caroline Bollmann comments on the segment's trends.
Segundo a arquiteta, instalar banheiras em espaços abertos — terraços e áreas integradas — é uma tendência, enquanto as peças gigantes caem em desuso em favor do conforto e da ergonomia. Ela destaca modelos inteligentes que esvaziam a água sozinhos, desligam iluminação, aquecedor e motor-bomba automaticamente e permitem acompanhar o consumo de água em tempo real, favorecendo o uso consciente.

Delicate, cozy and poetic, Luiza's bedroom — the couple's firstborn — was designed by architect Caroline Bollmann to be pleasing and functional now and in the future: once she outgrows the crib, the room's foundation — closet, bed and wardrobes — remains ready to grow with the girl.
The project began with a full renovation, involving wall removal, a complete change of finishes and new lighting points, which allowed every detail to be carefully considered. It took months of research with the mother across stores and suppliers nationwide. The standout feature was the closet integrated into the bedroom, which expanded the sense of space and reconciled classic decor with contemporary use. Custom white lacquer paneling and closet, a classic-provençal-style crib and bed, ipê oliva engineered-wood flooring, organza curtains with pure silk drapes, and lilac playing with light and dark shades throughout the room, with luminous crystal accents.

To decorate, integrate or divide: the role of sliding doors
The feature shows how sliding doors integrate or separate spaces without taking up room, especially in more compact homes. Caroline Bollmann comments on materials, hardware and handles.
Segundo a arquiteta, com projetos residenciais mais integrados as paredes saíram e as portas de correr entraram; os trilhos, que antes sustentavam 50 quilos, hoje suportam até 500. Ela orienta ainda que o puxador seja proporcional à porta — recortes embutidos quando ela fica mais aberta, peças externas e generosas quando o apelo é estético. Um projeto seu, com porta de alumínio e vidro, ilustra a reportagem.

The feature on custom furniture includes Caroline Bollmann commenting on practicality as one of the most frequent requests in interior design briefs when the client is a mother.
According to the architect, clients look for well-designed, easy-to-use furniture that organizes spaces and keeps up with the family's routine. She also points out that the choice of low-maintenance materials and finishes — such as melamine and wood-look surfaces — must be based on each person's lifestyle.

Entre as tendências apresentadas estavam os materiais naturais e a cozinha retomada como centro do convívio familiar — premissa do ambiente assinado pela arquiteta.
