The architect explains: “We wanted a hard wearing surface that would remain intact over time and withstand the wear and tear that typically occurs in the home environment”. With a highly resistant Satin finish, Iron Copper delivers a surface hardness that is often favoured for commercial use. The application of the matte finish to a residential project, coupled with the scratch resistance and modulus of rupture afforded by Neolith®, offered a hardwearing integrity to the design. Hygienic, waterproof, easy to clean and 100% natural, Neolith®’s properties provide a versatility that makes the surface equally suitable for application in the kitchen and breakfast room as it is for the living space and beyond; a factor the IV Centenário project took full advantage of. Rossi continues: “Neolith®'s properties meant we could apply the panels to different rooms throughout the home in full confidence that the surfacing material possessed the qualities best suited to the functionality of that particular environment”. Iron Copper was also specified for the balcony facades; Neolith®’s resistance to high temperatures and UV rays making it ideal for the scorching Brazilian weather. Rossi comments: “Due to the open plan nature of the ground floor layout, in which the outdoor area connects with the interior lounge, it was important for the surfacing material to not deteriorate under exposure to the sun and extreme temperatures”. Furthermore, with the connecting exterior featuring a swimming pool, Neolith®’s near zero water absorption and resistance to chemical cleaning agents meant potential exposure to pool water and chlorine would not affect the integrity of the material. Lightweight, a 3 mm and 12 mm Neolith® panel weigh only 7 kg/m² and 30 kg/m² respectively. In combination with the different availability of slabs sizes, which include large formats measuring 3200 x 1500 and 3600 x 1200 mm, as well as bespoke options, Neolith® was an extremely attractive proposition for the project. Rossi expands: “Being able to cover large areas with fewer panels, combined with Neolith®’s lightweight properties, provides installation advantages from a labour, time and cost perspective”. “In addition to putting the customer’s wishes in the design concept of the vanguard, Ricardo Rossi Architecture and Interiors is also concerned with sustainability and whenever possible will specify eco-friendly materials.” For the IV Centenário project, TheSize’s production processes and Neolith®’s sustainable, ecological and 100% recyclable nature offered a product in keeping with this approach.

Eine aussergewöhnliche Bar für aussergewöhnliche Gäste, so das Motto. In jeder Hinsicht besonders: Im Material, in der Form, in der Ausführung und in der Kombination. Bar in wildem Nussbaum, kombiniert mit Schwarzstahl und schwarzem MDF mit geschwungener Naturseilfront. Hier wurden besondere Materialien in völlig neuen Kontext gebracht. Der absolute Eye-Catcher ist neben der markanten Bartheke aus wildem Nussbaum sicherlich die Frontgestaltung aus Naturseil, das seine Form durch gelaserte Schwarzstahlelemente erhält. Das Ganze wird noch extra in Szene gesetzt durch die der formfolgenden LED-Beleuchtung. Wer will hier nicht gerne seinen Martini trocken zu sich nehmen, "James Bond" war schon da!

This luxurious bar is the perfect place to relax an enjoy a drink either by yourself or with company.
