CASA AE brings the pure aesthetics of the International Style to Sicily thanks to the architect Luigi Smecca. Essential in defining its distinctive character is the use of Skyconcrete Outdoor by Isoplam, which with its beauty and versatility enhances the architectural identity of the residence.
CASA AE stands as a masterpiece of space, light and order, bringing the International Style into the 21st century within the urban fabric of Palermo. Conceived by the architect Luigi Smecca, the villa is an imposing construction that celebrates the fundamental principles of the architectural movement that dominated the twentieth century.
The distinctive characteristics of the International Style are manifested in every detail of CASA AE. The harmony between well-defined volumes, clean elevations and simple lines is enhanced by the large windows, which invite natural light to strategically flood each room and create the illusion of a blurred boundary between interiors and exteriors. The carefully studied visual views reflect the stylistic ideals of fusion between architecture and nature, as well as perfect balance between form and function, consolidating the environments into a continuum. The result is a total symbiosis of the elements, which makes every corner of the villa part of a single, homogeneous living space.
Meticulously conceived, the interior layout is a clear testimony to the International Style's ability to create order. The basement offers a storage area, a bedroom with private bathroom, a shared bathroom, a large open area with hallways, spaces for relaxation and a private gym with access also from the outside, as well as a dining area , a study and a service room for laundry use. The ground floor, inspired by the open-space principles dear to modern architecture, includes the kitchen and another relaxation area, with the exception of the bathroom, pantry and ironing room. Finally, on the first floor there is the master bedroom with private bathroom, the guest bedroom, the study and a shared bathroom.
To reflect the minimalist and functional essence of CASA AE, the design of the outdoor spaces also played a crucial role, resulting in the use of a continuous and versatile surface used for each walkway and for the area surrounding the swimming pool: Skyconcrete Outdoor by Isoplam. With its innate refinement and incisive material effect, this creative cement helps to enhance the pure aesthetics of CASA AE, underlining the beauty of an extremely clean architectural language such as that of the International Style.
Skyconcrete Outdoor: material, versatile, high resistance
Skyconcrete Outdoor is the creative low-thickness cement that combines freedom of expression, resistance and application versatility, adapting perfectly to every situation. In just 3-4 mm, it overcomes the traditional limits of concrete - heaviness, possible cracks, presence of expansion joints - giving a cloudy effect without joints with a scratched and vibrant look, characterized by considerable aesthetic and chromatic care.
Available in a wide variety of colors and finishes, such as non-slip and combed versions, Skyconcrete Outdoor is ideal for pool edges and surrounding walkways, it is non-slip, non-slip and designed to resist wear, chemical agents and atmospheric factors , abrasion and cracking. These characteristics make it perfect not only for luxury residences such as CASA AE, but also for high-traffic spaces such as playgrounds, urban spaces and car parks.
Thanks to its reduced thickness and high adhesion, Skyconcrete Outdoor can be applied to various pre-existing surfaces, allowing rapid renovations without sacrificing aesthetics or functionality. The coating, in fact, can be applied to ceramic, tiles, marble, concrete, sand-cement screed or to self-levelling, giving floors great appeal in an extremely practical and quick way.
