Casa di Argilla — Architecture × 3D Concrete Printing

Built from an idea.
Shaped for reality.

Casa di Argilla brings architectural design and 3D concrete printing expertise together to develop distinctive buildings.

From early concepts to construction thinking, the work connects spatial ambition with the practical potential of layered construction.

The method

Design beyond the conventional.

3D concrete printing gives designers a different way to think about form, fabrication and wall systems. We bring design and implementation expertise into the same conversation.

CASA 360°Services for Developers

Designed. Printed.
Delivered.

Three connected services for developers. Final scope and commercial terms are agreed for each assignment.

01 / Design & Print

Design and Print Services

For developers and clients testing a residential concept or printed construction business.

Design brief and concept options
Printing suitability, print services and project scope review
Preliminary area and cost comparison
Roadmap for technical approvals

Deliverables and boundaries

Concept drawings, initial feasibility notes and an assumption-based cost plan. Detailed engineering, authority approvals and construction are separately scoped.

02 / Local Materials

Local Materials Allocation Services

We have established local print mortars and print materials availability for a smooth construction workflow at lowest local rates.

Material selection and procurement planning
Local raw-material and supplier allocation
Mortar, additive and compound supply coordination
Quality-control planning and initial production support

Deliverables and boundaries

A materials implementation plan, readiness checklist and proposed quality-control scope. Material supply, freight, testing, consumables and ongoing support must be confirmed in the quotation.

03 / Installation

Installation Services

Usually on-site (lay-down area) or off-site (industrial warehouse) operated - the manufactured output to be quick and professionally installed - training and installation services offered by CASA

Installation layout and workflow planning
Equipment setup, shared mixing and handling strategy
Utilities, staffing and quality-control planning
Phased commissioning and expansion plan

Deliverables and boundaries

Our Team is set to develop alongside your team - Installation plan, equipment schedule, budget and implementation schedules. We are at your side in the planning phase and during execution.

High performance materials and mortars

The material matters.

Match the mortar to the printing process, intended application and local operating conditions.

BAUMIT Platinum DistributorMENA / AFRICA · BAUMINATOR SYSTEM AND MATERIALS

Material family	Intended application	What to verify
3D printing mortar	Layered wall elements and other printed components.	Pumpability, extrusion stability, buildability, open time, layer bond and specified hardened performance.
Accelerators & additives	Controlled setting and rheology within a compatible printing system.	Supplier compatibility, dosage, mixing method, temperature effects and safe handling.
Infill & grouting materials	Designed cavities, reinforcement zones and structural infill where specified.	Flow, aggregate size, shrinkage, strength and compatibility with the engineered wall design.
Finishing & bonding mortars	Renders, repair, tile fixing and insulation-system layers.	Substrate adhesion, exposure conditions, integrated Thermal Insulation and Fireproofing requirements, preparation and the relevant system specifications.
Local production compounds	Qualified local mortar manufacture using controlled raw materials and additives.	BAUMIT endorsed manufacturer holding all relevant mix-design rights, raw-material consistency, laboratory validation and batch quality control.

Product selection follows technical data sheets, project specifications and trial validation. Product names, verified performance figures and approved supply territories will be added when the relevant documentation is confirmed.
