Arthur Casas, one of the country’s most renowned architects, is celebrated for his creations that harmoniously integrate natural surroundings with modern structures. His work is characterized by smooth lines, careful use of materials, and a user-centered approach. Projects like Casa Mantiqueira, nestled amidst the lush vegetation of the Mantiqueira Mountains, exemplify this philosophy. The house’s concept not only respects the natural terrain but also offers residents breathtaking views and a close connection to nature.
For the architect, the challenge of building in hard-to-reach locations is an opportunity for innovation. In this context, SysHaus, a company specializing in building systems, proved to be essential. The brand employs a modular approach, where each piece of the construction is prefabricated and assembled on-site, like a giant puzzle. This not only speeds up the construction process but also minimizes waste and reduces environmental impact. For Casa Mantiqueira, for example, this method enabled the 607 m² house to be completed in just 270 days, meeting a growing demand for fast and efficient solutions.
Carol Magalhães, owner of Magalhães Studio, is known for her work in interior design and was responsible for signing off on this project. The architect thoughtfully crafted the interior aesthetics to bring a unique sensibility to the space, resulting in interiors that not only complement the exterior architecture but are also visually pleasing, functional, and comfortable.
A key aspect of this project’s creation was the selection of ideal materials. Vinyl Ceiling, a versatile and sustainable solution, has gained popularity for its zero-maintenance features and modern aesthetics. The choice of the Vinyl Ceiling Origens Angelim added a layer of sophistication to the space while providing durability and resistance to varying weather conditions.
This material choice reflects SysHaus's concept, which guides everything from project specifications to material selection. SysHaus and Vinyl Ceiling share a commitment to sustainability and environmental care, both fundamental pillars for the project, which featured Arthur Casas for the structural design and Carol Magalhães for the interiors.
