About Zen Mood Casa

Zen Mood és un projecte conceptual centrat en 3 motors clau: Minimalisme, adaptabilitat i estètica. S'hi adjunten segments individuals creant diverses formes i usos: es poden generar cases, oficines o sales d’exposició amb dos formats. Cada mòdul ha estat dissenyat amb 3,20 x 6,00m disposats en 19m² dins dels pisos 01 o 02. El transport es realitza principalment amb camions, també es pot lliurar i instal·lar en un sol dia. És un disseny únic i contemporani que crea espais senzills, vius i creatius possibles a través d’un mètode constructiu net i industrialitzat.

Production Technology: Steel frame structure with exterior finishing of ACM panels, interior finishing of plywood and core of thermoacoustic insulation.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was a house that could fit in parts as a truck load. Based on its dimensions, the house was split in four modules. Each has its own structure frame at the same time it should be assemble with the other modules. The floor plan layout had to be designed in other to be divided according to the structure.
Research: Felipe Savassi Modular Studio has a good know-how working on modular constructions. Francisco Eduardo, as an independent architect, worked on innovative projects that sough to explore new designs and construction technologies. After working together in a project using containers as main structure, the knowledge and previous experience helped them designing the Zen Mood.
Inspiration: Our inspiration came from the concept of modular minimalist houses like Wikkel House.
The clean and sophisticated design and the minimalist concept is present in the shapes and in the materials that make up the project - metallic elements, wood, glass - of neutral colors, that relate well to the surrounding landscape, not overlapping but still configuring as a new composer element of it.
