FACE WORLD · INTELLIGENT LIVING

A beautiful home.
An intelligent
system.

Architecture, energy and water in one project. A home that collects sunshine, saves rainwater and looks after your comfort.

01 / YOUR HOME

Different homes.
One approach.

Start with a home type. Choose its systems, interiors and surrounding structures together.

Preparing your configuration…

Your home, system choices and water estimate are saved.
Family villa — a DOMUS architectural direction

Family villa

Family villa

Architecture for your site: space, materials, interiors and every home system.

  • Solar roofing & batteries
  • Rain collection & irrigation storage
  • Smart controls & manual backup
  • Pergolas, carports & landscape

A design direction. Manufacturer, dimensions, price and scope are defined in the proposal.

02 / SOLAR & HYBRID

Let the whole property
work with the sun.

Integrated solar tiles form the home’s roof. Pergolas, summer kitchens, garages and carports receive suitable solar roofing, connected to shared battery storage.

Sunshine

The home and suitable outbuilding roofs generate electricity.

Batteries

Stored energy for evenings, peak demand and outages.

Hybrid backup

A fuel generator runs when needed; controls manage loads and charging.

CHINA · SOLAR ROOF TILES

Gain Solar

T-Max photovoltaic roof elements in several shapes. Choose a model for the roof geometry and project requirements.

Official source
SWISS ENGINEERING · BIPV

SunStyle

Solar elements form a distinctive overlapping roof, combining weather protection and energy generation.

Official source

BIPV integrates solar elements into the building envelope. Tesla Solar Roof is a concept reference: its former page currently redirects to conventional panels. Current Tesla roof-tile supply is not offered here.

FUEL ONLY WHEN NEEDED

Hybrid means working together.

Solar and batteries come first. A generator covers shortfalls. Reserve gas systems are evaluated as a separate part of the engineering design.

The generator, inverter, switching equipment and controls must support coordinated operation. Multiple fuel options alone do not establish compatibility.

Equipment examples to evaluate
DUAL FUEL · COMPATIBLE BATTERIES

EcoFlow Smart Generator 3000

Petrol and LPG. Automatic starting depends on the supported DELTA series. The manufacturer lists this model as unavailable in California.

Official source
TRI FUEL · BACKUP COMPONENT

DuroMax XP13000HXT

Petrol, propane or natural gas. Integration with home batteries and controls requires a separate engineering solution.

Official source

Install generators outdoors according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Check voltage, loads, exhaust, noise, connections and local requirements before installation.

SOLAR PAVING

Energy under your feet.

Solar surfaces for paths, terraces, parking and driveways. Selection depends on shade, grip, drainage, wheel loads and repairability. Confirm power and load ratings for the chosen model.

A solar tennis court remains an Innovation research direction. Compatibility with playing-surface requirements has not been confirmed.

03 / RAINWATER LIVING

Rain passes.
Water stays.

Free rainwater from suitable roofs can be stored for the garden. Cisterns, filtration and efficient irrigation form one coordinated system.

  1. 01

    Roofs

    Home, pergola, garage and carport.

  2. 02

    Filter

    Separate leaves, debris and the first dirty runoff.

  3. 03

    Cistern

    A closed tank, insect screens, overflow and level monitoring.

  4. 04

    Pump

    Irrigation filtration and dry-running protection.

  5. 05

    Garden

    Drip irrigation by zone, soil moisture and weather.

PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE

How much water can rain provide?

Enter your site and one rainfall event. Starting values are an example, not a forecast for your address.

6 000litres into an empty tank
Collected from roofs6 000 L
Overflow beyond capacity0 L
Approximate irrigation reserve24 days

Area × rainfall × collection rate. 1 mm over 1 m² = 1 litre. Assumes an initially empty tank; excludes seasonal rainfall sequences and use during the rain event.

Florida & other wet regions

Store water between rain events and plan overflow, maintenance access and insect protection.

California & dry seasons

Estimate drought duration, required storage and garden demand. Drip irrigation and suitable plants reduce consumption.

Rain is free. The system is equipment.

Rain collection reduces demand for purchased water. Tanks, pumps, energy and maintenance have costs; an uninterrupted supply is not guaranteed in every climate.

Rainwater and drinking water use separate circuits. Drinking use requires analysis and suitable treatment. Roadway runoff is excluded from this estimate.UF/IFAS · Rain collection · CDC · Water quality · EPA · Smart irrigation

04 / CONNECTED COMFORT

Your home.
Your routines.

Choose additional systems for your brief. Device compatibility and availability in your country are checked during selection.

Solar roofing, batteries, hybrid management and rain collection are already part of the core brief. Your additional selections will be included.

06 / THE DOMUS SYSTEM

From an idea
to a place to live.

Space, structure, materials and technology are considered together. Interiors and exteriors continue one architectural idea.

Architecture & engineering

  • Architectural design
  • Engineering coordination
  • Interiors & materials
  • Manufacturing documentation
  • Architectural construction supervision
  • Site & feasibility assessment
  • Visualization & modeling

Industrial precision, coordinated manufacturing packages and quality control for every detail.

Clear responsibilities

  • Lead architect
  • Project engineer
  • Construction manager
  • Production manager
  • Client representative

The platform also brings together model makers, consultants, property specialists and manufacturers.
