Each phase of life comes with its own
flavor or a combination of several flavors.
According science, the five basic flavors
are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami.
This little known fifth flavor, which was
only proven to exist in the early twentieth
century by a Japanese researcher, is charac-
terized by its long-lasting taste. The name
umami comes from Japanese and means
“delicious” or “tasty.” / Cada etapa de la
vida trae consigo un sabor o una mezcla
de varios. Según la ciencia, existen cinco
tipos de sabores básicos: dulce, salado,
amargo, agrio y umami. Este último, no
muy conocido, fue demostrado a principios
del siglo XX por un investigador japonés y
se caracteriza por ser duradero, al perma-
necer en la boca más tiempo que los
demás sabores básicos. Además, el nombre
umami viene del japonés y significa algo
así como “delicioso” o “sabroso”.
If childhood is sweet, adolescence sour,
and adult life bittersweet, then maturity is
umami. It is a phase of life in which you
know what you want, you value the good
things, and above all, you are aware of
the importance of time. Wanting to savor
more family life and do more cooking
together led the owners of this home, in
the Pilarzinho neighborhood of Curitiba,
Brazil, to completely revitalize the over
5,000 square foot property. / Si la infancia
es dulce, la adolescencia amarga y la edad
adulta agridulce, la madurez es umami. Es
una etapa de la vida en la que sabes lo que
quieres, valoras lo bueno y, sobre todo, eres
consciente de la importancia del tiempo.
Saborear más la vida en familia y cocinar
juntos fueron los motivos que llevaron a
la pareja de propietarios de esta casa del
barrio de Pilarzinho, en Curitiba (Brasil), a
revitalizar completamente esta propiedad
de 500 m².
The architect, Talita Nogueira, who had
already renovated the exterior of the house
was responsible for the renovation: “As
the owners had lived in several countries
they had references of very high quality
products, and a very contemporary view
of what they wanted in the project,” says
This prestigious Brazilian architect graduated from the Catholic University of Paraná
(PUCPR) and completed her studies at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany.
She is the recipient of interior design magazine Kaza’s New Talent Award. / Esta prestigiosa
arquitecta brasileña se graduó en la Universidad Católica de Paraná (PUCPR) y completó sus
estudios en la Technische Universität München (TUM) en Munich, Alemania. Ha recibido el
