The new frontier of multi-story villas is steel architecture. The Light Steel Frame system used by the Octagon platform facilitated the construction of a modern steel house with a swimming pool, designed by an architectural firm that did not want to be limited by traditional brick structures. The result, in fact, is a dynamic building with large overhangs and surprising construction nodes that allow the creation of suspended volumes and vast open spaces.
The architects were supported at every stage of the project. Their concept was developed through an integrated, multidiscipline design involving the interfacing of multiple professionals: from the heating engineer to the engineer to the interior designer. This was all made possible by the professional network of the Octagon platform.
The modern steel house with swimming pool was also designed through the use of the BIM system, which allows for off-site engineering of the structure and then assembly of the ultralight metal modules with millimeter precision.
The technology used is not only high-performance but also environmentally sustainable. The Light Steel Frame makes it quick and easy to produce a design with complex shapes that is both versatile and can be integrated with any other type of technology and material. Above the steel core, in fact, the villa shows an elegant cladding of wood essence and white panels. The two main volumes integrate on the ground floor and brush against each other on the first floor, where a large rooftop terrace joins them. Opaque and transparent surfaces alternate harmoniously, framing natural vistas and reflecting on the outdoor pool.
