In the picturesque suburban setting of Tegna, between 2017 and 2020, DF-DC - Dario Franchini realized a unique architectural project: Casa Piramide, a new building of 250 sqm.
For this ambitious project, Alusys was selected to supply state-of-the-art fixtures that are perfectly integrated with the building’s distinctive character.
The house appears as a fascinating foreign object in the landscape, with a scale that is difficult to assess at first glance.
Once inside, the surprise is immediate: the L-shaped floor plan is cleverly arranged under sloping roofs, wrapping the inner garden in stark contrast to the airtight exterior.
Alusys-designed fixtures blend harmoniously with this arrangement, creating sculpted openings in the bedrooms that reveal their essence only once you enter the garden.
The view from the house, surrounded by vineyards, makes it stand out as a monumental and introverted form, with the fixtures helping to maintain this tension between openness and closure, between intimacy and monumentality.
Thanks to the precision and reliability of Alusys fixtures, Pyramid House manages to combine innovative design and impeccable functionality.

Products used
Schüco Panoramic Sliding System ASE 67 PD
The Schüco ASE 67 PD aluminum panoramic sliding system, characterized by high quality, features a modular design.
Various types of sashes can be combined with two different types of outer frames.
In the 90 mm version, the entire ventilation system is built into the outer frame.
The 57 mm version requires less space and is therefore ideal for renovation projects.
Both the thin profiles and the inclusion of the ventilation profile in the outer frame increase the proportions of the glazed area of the window.
This allows greater penetration of natural light into the environment, contributing not only to the user’s physical and mental well-being, but also to energy savings in the long run.
- Thermal performance with Uw values = 1 W/(m2K)
- Burglar resistance up to RC2
- Maximum sash width 3200 mm
Vertical awnings
So the textile shade becomes big!
Depending on the version, one-piece awnings are available in sizes up to 18 m².
Boxes are available in square, rectangular and with a circular shape.
The guided roller blind is a multi-purpose blind.
The wide range of accessories allows for different manual or motorized solutions and maneuvering choices.
Appropriately placed outside, they help decrease the percentage of solar heat transmitted by the glass, allowing considerable energy savings due to the reduced activity of air conditioning systems; or in a blackout version they are the best solution for bedrooms, conference rooms, multimedia rooms or meeting rooms that use projection equipment.
Thanks to the particularly small boxes, this version can be easily mounted with supports in the soffit of any window.
Thanks to the springs built into the box, the cables are kept in tension at all times.
An extruded drawer is used for this variant.
Side rails can be mounted directly or with spacers.
Sheets with guided side hem are especially suitable for wind-exposed places.
