Syshaus House | Studio Arthur Casas

Description by Studio Arthur Casas:

The Syshaus House comes to the market bringing a new concept to live with quality, practicality and sustainability – not only ideals, but effective practices. The structural system is composed of standardized types of pillar, beam, joint node and screw, which when combined result in different configurations of plants and programs, within a limit of up to three floors, either in a flat or sloped terrain. The external and internal coverings, such as floors, walls and linings, are also conceived as part of a docking system. In this way, the residence is entirely assembled in the lot, without generating waste or consuming natural resources such as water – abundantly wasted in conventional construction.


Baptized as ‘ecosystemic’, the construction respects nature as much as possible, from conception to delivery of the keys – a period that may correspond to only six months. The sustainable practices are also applied to the daily life of the residents by three important and indispensable items to the residence: rainwater harvesting for reuse in the irrigation; domestic biodigester that transforms organic waste into gas, for eventual use in the fireplace and kitchen, fertilizer for the garden and / or vegetable garden; and photovoltaic panels for solar energy, whose intelligent monitoring system allows the maximum efficiency in the use of energy and zero cost in the account.


Among the optional items are the green cover that contributes to thermal and acoustic comfort, and automation. In terms of security, it is possible to opt for intelligent locks remotely activated by a cell phone and cameras connected to the mobile device of the owner, in an integrated mechanism of surveillance.


Thru Syshaus concept, the customer buys a house as a product, choosing available options with defined prices and deadlines. The frequent negative surprises of conventional constructions are crossed off. The construction system has a durability above market standards, which allows us to offer a 20-year factory warranty. The repairs and replacements of parts are also easy to carry out, since the structure makes it possible to assemble and disassemble all the elements.

The architect Arthur Casas conceived the interior design within the free standing concept.
Cabinets and kitchen, usually fixed in walls or partitions, arrived in the house in an independent module format. In this way, the owner can associates the modules as he/she wants or even transfers the equipment to a new home. The line of houses signed by Arthur Casas and team can have variations on finishes, coatings and layouts, so that the customer can choose the one of their preference.

All the furniture and accessories present in the house, including the jewels, are launches designed by Arthur Casas. The Syshaus product hosts all the innovative technologies already available, as other technologies that will be discovered in the future. It is a constant and flexible process of evolution and updating.

Pascĕre Ciboteca | ZDA – Zupelli Design Arquitettura

 


Description by ZDA – Zupelli Design Arquitettura:

Located in the ‘Isola’ district, in Milan, the ” Pascĕre – Ciboteca”, is a contemporary local with a impressive design, able to offer its customers versatile experience, from early morning until late in the evening. Not only a café for breakfast and afternoon break, but also a restaurant and a cocktail bar.

The project concept was created to co-exist different services in one place.
Starting from the large area of the project, we have defined three interior volumes: a service block, for staff and the public; a central block, designed to hold the most of the services of the resturant, including a kitchen; and a glass element that contains a small urban garden, able to attract the attention of customers and offer new points of view on the city.

The interior spaces are born in ‘negative’ and through subtraction define different areas: the bar area illuminated by large windows, the sofas area at the entrance, smaller than the first, directly overlooking the indoor garden and the restaurant area, structured in a “fast and slow food” zone.

Even the floors are designed to create dialogue between different environments, with an original pavement mix. white and black cement tiles with a geometric textures, are arranged like a carpet on an aged dark wooden floor, while in theindoor garden was chosen the raw concrete.

To uniform the areas we chose a light color for the walls, in contrast with a very darker furniture, interrupted by the color chosen for the ‘boiserie’ and the green plants placed all over the local. In fact, the whole environment is based on the mood of the ‘urban forest’: the indoor garden, the tables designed for the restaurant and the vertical wall, enrich every area and create a unique atmosphere.

The result is a sophisticated environment where each element works to a balanced overview. In a mix of wood, iron and vegetation, light and dark colors, intense and soft lighting, once again we define our idea of a metropolitan local.
