At CASACOR Bolivia 2026, CASA LAUFEN explores how architecture can create balance, shelter and emotional connection.
At CASACOR Bolivia 2026, LAUFEN presents CASA LAUFEN, a project by architect Roberto Franco inspired by this year's theme, Mente y Corazón (Mind and Heart). Located at one of the central points of the exhibition in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the project reflects on the home as a place of wellbeing, refuge and human connection.

A House Organised Around Its Core
The 120-square-metre house is conceived as a home with an essential architectural language, where design is reduced to its core elements: pure lines, honest materials and spaces that evoke emotion.
The project is organised around three clearly defined zones: social, technical services and private areas. The kitchen, bathrooms and service spaces are integrated into the core of the house, creating the central element around which the project is structured.
For Roberto Franco, this architectural approach reflects the concept developed together with LAUFEN and presented at this year's CASACOR. While the project appears simple, its execution required careful attention to detail, material junctions and spatial composition.
"I believe the challenge is to try to reach perfection so that visually the project, in its simplicity, moves people emotionally.” says Roberto Franco.
The theme of CASACOR Bolivia 2026 reflects on the home as a sanctuary for healing and self-care. The exhibition explores how architecture and design can create spaces that prioritise emotions, human connection and balance.
Through harmony, balanced lines and honest materials, CASA LAUFEN uses simplicity to evoke emotion and provide a sense of shelter for everyone who enters.
The project incorporates products from the Kartell • LAUFEN, SONAR and ILBAGNOALESSI collections, complemented by accessories.
CASA LAUFEN was supported by Tumpar, LAUFEN's exclusive distributor in Bolivia and one of the main sponsors of CASACOR Bolivia 2026. Tumpar supplied the materials for the project and also hosted the architects' dinner during the event.
Presented from 13 May to 20 June 2026, CASA LAUFEN demonstrates how simplicity, materials and thoughtful design can create a meaningful experience for visitors.
