Sustainable Systems and Green Materials
Sustainable Systems and Green Materials
1) Photovoltaic solar energy system
2) Grey water recycling system - takes water from the -bathroom sinks and showers, and the washing machine, filtering it and pumping it to the fruit trees in the garden
3) Rain water collection system
4) Passive Cooling - uses low windows on the windward side and high windows on the leeward side of the house. Cross ventilation is maximized by eliminating most of the interior walls and aligning windows and sliding glass doors. Ceiling fans are distributed across the ceiling to move the warm air out when there is no natural breeze.
5) In order to reduce the size of the house, we used efficient efficient custom storage system of movable shelves and cabinets runs through the length of the house. This allows for a smaller, but smarter building.
6) Natural Daylighting - uses interior clerestory windows and transoms to allow all of the rooms to borrow light from each other.
Materials
1) recycled flooring for the first structure, patched together and left roughly finished.
2) plywood floors for the second structure
3) Ceilings of both structures are plywood, cut into horizontal boards.
4) Composite decking made of recycled content.
5) All of the Interior doors are made of recycled flooring from the existing house
6) Poured in place concrete countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, use recycled fly ash
8) Non VOC Paints and Stains
9) All plumbing fixtures are low-flow energy efficient
10) All electrical appliances are energy star rated
-LED and fluorescent lighting fixtures
11) Ductless Mini-Split HVAC system zoned for maximum efficiency

O enquadramento destaca um espaço acolhedor ao ar livre, com mobiliário de madeira rústica e luminárias artesanais de bambu. A iluminação natural suave ilumina as texturas ricas dos materiais, como a madeira polida e as fibras naturais. Tons terrosos predominam, complementados pelo verde vibrante das plantas tropicais ao fundo e toques coloridos de elementos decorativos, como araras e tucanos artificiais. O teto de bambu e os detalhes florais criam um ambiente relaxante e harmônico com a natureza.
My first exhibition at alig'art Expo 2012 in Ghetto degli Ebrei, via Santa Croce 18 - Cagliari - Italy.
Discover the architectural gem that is the San Francisco VA Medical Center, an exemplar of mid-20th-century modernism set against the city’s dynamic backdrop. Designed with precision and functionality in mind, this institution has stood as a beacon of medical excellence. Its minimalist aesthetic, characterized by clean lines and an unadorned facade, reflects the era’s design ethos where form follows function. The architect employed a utilitarian approach while ensuring resilience and timelessness—a true testament to San Francisco’s rich architectural tapestry. With its strategic location offering both accessibility and serenity, this historic structure not only serves veterans but also stands as an enduring piece of San Francisco’s storied past.

THE WALL collection by Mazzali
Boiserie panels, in Oak or Elm wood, in leather, in matt or gloss lacquered finish. Or with decorations on Oak wood, where the boiserie panel is processed and engraved to create two levels of thickness with abstract and creative designs, enhanced by the naturalness of the water coats.
THE WALL are infinitely solutions for a house completely on demand.
Pannelli retro letto, pannelli boiserie. In essenza, in pelle, laccato. O con decori in essenza di legno , dove il pannello viene lavorato ed inciso fino a creare due livelli di spessore dai disegni astratti e creativi, esaltati dalla naturalezza delle tinte all’acqua.
THE WALL sono infinite soluzioni, per una casa assolutamente on demand
"Zero18" is the Mazzali furniture program for children and teenagers bedrooms: solutions and ideas from childhood until the age of majority. A new and important project that marks the entry of Mazzali company in the market of kids and youth furniture.
Mazzali also in "Zero18" underlines a choice of quality, low environmental impact and protections of consumer health.
"Zero18" means top quality materials (sandwich compound, plywood, solid wood), the exclusive use of water paints, strong and continuous research in term of safety, health and ecology .
Sustainable development, social responsibility, environmental impacts are in fact values and commitments that characterize the entire Mazzali's production by the use of a wood reforestation program, low-emission paint solvent, improved environmental technologies, continuous research materials and solutions to reduce the impact and ensure sustainability at the production process, maximum attention to the health of consumers
"Zero18" is infinite colours, where bright colours are interwoven with light colours, customized solutions and ideas in the measures and in space.
"Zero18" declines a new concept of children and teenagers bedrooms, born and developed starting from the values of sustainability and respect of health to achieve a project no longer conditioned by present patterns.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Si chiama Zero18, il programma giovane di Mazzali: soluzioni ed idee per un ambiente che dall’infanzia sale fino alla maggiore età. Un progetto nuovo ed importante che segna l’ingresso di Mazzali nell’area giovane.
Mazzali anche qui privilegia e sottolinea una scelta di qualità e naturalezza. Zero18 si distingue per i materiali utilizzati (tamburato, multistrato, legno massello), e per l’utilizzo esclusivo di vernici interamente all’acqua, per un ambiente naturale e rispettoso al massimo della salute.
Un’ infinita progettualità nei colori, dove tinte vivaci che si intrecciano con tinte tenui, si associa con soluzioni ed idee personalizzabili nelle misure e nello spazio.
Zero18 declina un nuovo concetto di ambiente giovane che nasce e si sviluppa partendo dai valori di sostenibilità e rispetto della salute per arrivare ad una progettualità non più condizionata da prestabiliti schemi.

Winter Solstice
To mark the solstice I take out my camera and try to capture elements that depict some of my passions. Restoring the land is one of them... riparian areas with native plants, another. I was delighted to discover this treasure on the solstice. Not a soul in sight, birds coming and going at dusk, but most of all I tried to absorb all the rich color, light and fragrance of the moist ground from the recent rains, as I wandered though this forest of cottonwoods and mesquite trees.
These places are magical to me. Water in the desert is magical.
"In the mid 1990s the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Pima County agreed to reconstruct and expand the original 50-acre Ajo Detention Basin. The final footprint of the new KERP covers 141 acres that contains 28 acres of riparian and open water including a 5.6 acre, fifty-foot deep pond; 21 acres of grassland, mesquite bisque, marsh and upland vegetation that rises to an elevation of 2,520 feet; and another 92 acres that includes flood control structures, a basin earthen berm, and a recreational path that surrounds the basin.
