The Architect Who Designed a Home Around Art

In today's Casa+ episode, I'm visiting the home of architect Bianca da Hora in Rio de Janeiro. It's a home where architecture, art and everyday living come together in a way that feels effortless, elegant and deeply personal. Bianca completely redesigned the apartment, opening up the kitchen, dining and living areas to create a home made for gathering, cooking and spending time with friends. Travertine, natural wood and custom millwork are paired with collected objects, iconic furniture and an impressive selection of contemporary Brazilian art. Throughout the tour, Bianca shares the stories behind many of the artworks, explains how she built her collection over time and offers practical advice for anyone interested in bringing more art into their own home. Rather than treating art as decoration, every piece becomes part of daily life. The result is a home that feels sophisticated without being formal, curated without feeling staged. If you love architecture, interior design and homes where art is truly lived with—not just displayed—you'll love this episode. ________ ▪️ Originally produced in Brazil, this content is now available in English to inspire home lovers around the world with Brazilian creativity, design and lifestyle. ________ About Casa+: Casa+ is a Brazilian platform focused on architecture, interior design and contemporary lifestyle.
