CASACOR 2026 brings together a new edition of the Americas’ largest architecture, interior design, and landscape design exhibition. This year, the event revolves around the theme “Mind and Heart.”
The São Paulo edition, the best-known event on the circuit, runs from June 2 to August 9, 2026, at Parque da Água Branca. Tickets can be purchased in advance through the official app and website.
In this guide, you will explore the 2026 theme in depth, review the event calendar, learn how to secure your ticket, and, most importantly, discover the design trends shaping CASACOR 2026.
At the end, we will also share what happened at CASACOR Santa Catarina, which had a few surprises in store, according to IsadoraModesti, Operations Coordinator at Blocks.
So, if you work in architecture or design and want a clear overview of what to expect from CASACOR 2026, Blocks will bring you up to speed in this article.
What is CASACOR?
CASACOR is recognized as the largest and most comprehensive architecture, interior design, and landscape design exhibition in the Americas.
Every year, invited professionals create complete spaces within the same venue, allowing visitors to walk through each setting much like they would in a real home.
Its format is decentralized: rather than taking place as a single event, CASACOR is held in 20 cities across Brazil and three international locations , each with its own lineup of architects, landscape designers, and interior designers.
In other words, the exhibition does not take place in just one location or on one date. That is exactly why understanding the schedule is so important for anyone planning to visit.

The theme of CASACOR 2026 is “Mind and Heart,” a concept that sees the home as a place to reconnect with yourself.
Rather than treating the home as simply a beautiful setting, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how spaces influence our well-being and relationships.
In practice, this appears in projects designed to strengthen connections, reconnect with a sense of purpose, and propose more conscious ways of living.
If you attend the event, you will notice this common thread in nearly every space, from bedrooms designed around rest to kitchens created for gathering.
It is a theme that speaks directly to design professionals because it places the experience of the people who will inhabit a space at the center of every decision.
If you follow design events, you may notice that this more human-centered approach also shaped other recent gatherings, such as 3 Days of Design 2026 in Copenhagen.
CASACOR joins that same conversation and brings it into the Brazilian context.
When and where it takes place: the 2026 event calendar
The biggest question for anyone planning to visit is usually when and where the exhibition will take place.
Because CASACOR 2026 is spread across multiple cities, each location has its own schedule, and dates may be adjusted throughout the year.
The São Paulo edition, the most visited one, runs from June 2 to August 9, 2026, at Parque da Água Branca. According to the official CASACOR São Paulo website, it is open from Tuesday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- Goiás hosts the exhibition from April 30 to June 21, in Setor Marista.
- Piauí runs from May 7 to June 21.
- Brasília takes place from August 12 to October 12.
- Mato Grosso joins the calendar from June 26 to August 30.
The best way to avoid mistakes is simple: always confirm the dates for the location you plan to visit before making arrangements, since each city follows its own schedule throughout the season.
How to buy tickets for CASACOR 2026
Advance tickets can be purchased through the exhibition’s official app and website. You can also buy tickets in person at the event box office.
It is worth paying attention to a few practical rules. At the São Paulo edition, for example, visitors can enter Parque da Água Branca until 8 p.m., and the box office operates until 8:15 p.m., even though the exhibition remains open until 10 p.m. There is also a limit of 10 tickets per CPF, Brazil’s individual taxpayer registration number, which helps prevent resale and organize visitor flow.
Prices vary by location and may include special offers on commemorative dates. The best option is to check the current price directly through the official channel for the city you want to visit. That way, you avoid surprises and may also take advantage of any promotions offered by the exhibition.
CASACOR 2026 trends
Now we have reached the part that matters most to design professionals: the CASACOR 2026 trends.
This year, the event shows where contemporary living is headed, and these trends connect directly with the “Mind and Heart” theme.
Below, we have gathered the movements that appear most often across this year’s spaces, from the perspective of professionals who need to turn inspiration into projects.
Well-being by design
Well-being is no longer just a detail. It has become a starting point. Many spaces were designed around rest and a sense of refuge, with interiors that invite people to slow down and relax.
The São Paulo exhibition itself has moved forward with a health and well-being-focused certification, signaling that this subject has moved beyond discourse and into the technical side of design.
Social kitchens
The kitchen continues to take center stage as the heart of the home. Instead of being hidden away, it appears integrated with the living area and designed for entertaining and spending time together.
Large countertops, central islands, and custom millwork turn food preparation into a social moment, closely aligned with the emotional focus of this year’s theme.
A new take on the 1960s
1960s design has made a strong comeback, but it has been reinterpreted for today. Soft curves, warm tones, and iconic pieces return in a lighter interpretation seen from Milan to New York.
Anyone who followed the 2026 Milan Furniture Fair has already seen this movement gaining momentum, and CASACOR confirms that reference in Brazil.

Colors of the year
Colors are always a useful indicator, and this year the exhibition introduced several combinations to inspire design professionals.
The prevailing direction favors palettes that feel calming and welcoming, often paired with wood and natural fibers.
It is an approach that aligns with the theme’s well-being focus and helps create spaces that encourage people to slow down.
Landscape design as an experience
Greenery took on a leading role and moved beyond decoration. The exhibition’s gardens were designed as sensory journeys, using vegetation to shift the perception of space and create moments to pause and breathe.
This appreciation for landscape design shows how the relationship between indoors and outdoors is becoming increasingly important in residential projects.
Architecture that leaves its mark on the space
Some architectural elements became almost sculptural. Helical staircases, for example, stood out as one of the event’s major highlights and served as the centerpiece of several spaces.
These are solutions that combine structural design with visual impact and require precision when brought into a model.
Designing with Memory and Emotion
Finally, many projects were rooted in personal stories. Family objects, emotional references, and materials with a sense of history were brought into the spaces to tell the story of the people who live there.
This emotional layer may be the most faithful translation of the “Mind and Heart” theme. It closes this year’s trend cycle with a clear idea: designing also means caring for the people who will live in a space.
Event highlights: spaces and installations to explore

Beyond the trends, a few spaces and installations became must-see stops at CASACOR 2026.
They help show, in practical terms, how this year’s theme was translated into design. Here are a few highlights worth your attention:
- Deca Apartment: Designed by Dado Castello Branco Arquitetura, it brought together design and innovation in one of the exhibition’s most talked-about spaces.
- Casa Origens: Created by Mercado Livre, it featured a curated selection of furniture and objects, with QR-code access to benefits that brought inspiration closer to real purchasing decisions.
- Muxarabi Installation: It replaced walls with transparency and redesigned the public’s arrival experience at the exhibition.
- Free-access spaces: Part of the exhibition route was opened at no cost, creating a great opportunity for students and curious visitors to experience CASACOR up close.
Taken together, these spaces show that the exhibition goes beyond decoration and proposes experiences.
It is this combination of aesthetics and purpose that turns the visit into a source of ideas for your next project.
CASACOR Santa Catarina 2026: what happened

Now that you know what stood out at CASACOR 2026, it is time to take a closer look at the Balneário Camboriú edition.
The Blocks team made a quick stop at the event and brought back exclusive images of the installations.
The Balneário Camboriú edition runs from June 7 to July 19 at Pericó Residence, a new development by Construtora Pioneira. Florianópolis will then take place from September 27 to November 8 in the Saco Grande neighborhood.
There is also a symbolic milestone: CASACOR Santa Catarina is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
This edition brings together around 30 projects and is open from Tuesday through Saturday, from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., with reduced hours on Sundays and holidays.
Because Operations Coordinator Isadora Modesti, Human Resources Coordinator Jéssica Graciolo, and Commercial Coordinator Mariana Macedo attended the Balneário Camboriú exhibition, we can go beyond the numbers.
According to Modesti, the takeaway from walking through the spaces was clear: the strongest approach was bringing nature indoors.
Natural textures and organic forms appeared almost everywhere, with wood and stone taking center stage.
The color palette reinforced that atmosphere. Earthy and neutral tones dominated, but when a space introduced a darker color, it was usually a warm one, with marsala red appearing in stone, paint, and wall finishes.
Color rarely took over a room on its own. Instead, it acted as a balancing element, whether in a sofa, on a wall, or in a work of art.
Behind it all was the idea of the home as a refuge, an inward-looking perspective that became even stronger after the pandemic.
Some spaces captured that spirit especially well: green walls and vegetation appeared throughout, pendant lights made with organic fabrics evoked clouds and cotton, and even glass block made a comeback, this time used in a new way across an entire bedroom.
The upholstery on sofas and chairs invited visitors to sit down and stay awhile. An antique-filled space and a room called “Living Memórias do Tempo” brought together carefully sourced pieces that felt genuinely lived-in, exactly what the “Mind and Heart” theme proposes.
Lighting was another standout worth noting. Rather than relying on a strong central ceiling light, many spaces used distributed lighting in cove ceilings and table lamps placed on shelving, creating a peripheral glow that outlined the space and reinforced its sense of comfort.
It was lighting designed to enhance every corner, not simply to illuminate the room.
