The Design

About Zen Mood Casa

Zen Mood é um projeto conceitual centrado em 3 motivadores principais: Minimalismo, adaptabilidade e estética. Segmentos individuais são anexados criando uma variedade de formas e usos: residências, escritórios ou showrooms podem ser gerados usando dois formatos. Cada módulo foi projetado com 3,20 x 6,00m dispostos em 19m² em 01 ou 02 pavimentos. O transporte é feito principalmente por caminhões, podendo ser entregue e instalado em apenas um dia. É um projeto único e contemporâneo que cria espaços simples, vivos e criativos, possibilitados por um método construtivo clean e industrializado.

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.
