June is the month in which the day of Japanese immigration is celebrated in Brazil, a country that has the largest Japanese colony outside Japan, with more than 2 million people, Japanese or descendants. Since the 20th century, Japanese families immigrated to Brazilian rural regions, forming a solid colony in the interior of states like São Paulo, influencing many aspects of the local culture.

The space designed by OSA Arquitetos for CasaCor SC 2021 spans 60 square meters and is named Quarto Suna, the Japanese word for sand. A place dedicated to rest and a sense of calm and fluidity, it celebrates imperfect beauty, duality, and the impermanence of life. It employs a language that transcends time and space, featuring different textures and natural elements united by light tones and sober lines, punctuated by contrasting dark tones and curved lines. It merges contemporary design with cultural roots, minimalism with tradition, and pure aesthetics grounded in function.
