Lotus

Like a leaf that grows from the ground, Lotus brings to life an intriguing urban design, equipped with seats and shelters for parks and lay-bys. A single tubular element 14 cm in diameter and 260 cm in height, mounted in a radial pattern, generates the strong and elegant modular bearing structure that, as it grows, gives vital force and multiple configurations which can provide shelter from the rain, illuminate the surroundings (using LED technology) and generate energy: from the basic solution with a single small 4m2 leaf of photovoltaic surface for a production of 500W up to the large 19m2 leaf version producing 2.8KW. Lotus is also a charging point for electric cars, thanks to a centralised system, each parking space is equipped with an info point where it is possible to pay for the charging service by debit or credit card. In addition, thanks to the endless colour combinations offered by a wide range of strictly ecological coatings, Lotus is installed in complete respect of nature adapting to the surrounding environmental colours: from fresh green tones for natural contexts, to neutral tones for urban contexts, with the possibility of further alternative choices at the client’s discretion. An innovative project bearing the name of the architect Giancarlo Zema for LumineXence Srl and sponsored by a pool of major companies producing technological solutions at the service of sustainable projects, such as Solarday, Siderpali SpA, Eurozeta Srl., Nord Zinc SpA, Scame Parre SpA. SISTEMA TRIPLEX is the protection and finish system chosen by Arch. Zema to be used for the steel parts, guaranteeing continued use of the structure without the need for maintenance operations.
