CASACOR 2024, the most important exhibition of architecture, design, art and landscaping in the Americas, had as its motto *"Now is a gift".* Under this premise was presented *The Haven*, a space by interior designer Carlos Maza, located in the Escuela Climática de Varones del Puericultorio Augusto Pérez Araníbar, in Lima, Peru. Inspired by a traveler returning to his country, this environment represents a home where he reconnects with his roots, feels protected and reconnects with the essential. Warm and functional, the space reflects a host who enjoys cooking, sharing with family and friends, and values the open kitchen as a nucleus of encounter and connection.

From this inspiration, we sought to ensure that each material choice contributed to the construction of a warm, functional and coherent space. In the kitchen, **Black Soft** and **Valley** melamine tabletops were integrated to create a harmonious contrast between depth and warmth. **Black Soft** adds sobriety and sophistication, while **Valley**, with its woody tone and natural texture, adds closeness and balance, shaping a functional environment with character. In the living room, the **Acacia Sand** design envelops the environment with its light color and soft grain, generating a luminous, serene and welcoming atmosphere that accentuates the sense of refuge that defines the project.
