The only grouping of Frank Lloyd Wright's early American System-Built Homes—built by Arthur Richards and designed with standardized components for mass appeal to moderate-income families—is situated in the Burnham Park neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The four model 7A duplexes, one model B1 bungalow (shown here), and model C3 bungalow were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Peace No. 2, from 2001, is the earliest work in the exhibition. Zhang designed it while living in New York and sent instructions back to China, where it was fabricated. This 20-foot-tall bronze sculpture comprises of a gold-leaf replica of Zhang’s body dangling from the center of a traditional Buddhist bell. Image courtesy of Pace Gallery.

The relationship between north and south isn't the only connection on display at the show. Architectural models give insight into the designer's building practice, echoing the lines of the furniture on display.

The influence of Brazil on Casas's Copacabana sideboard is easy to see—its curves recall the pattern of the sidewalks at Rio's most famous beach.

The exhibition at Espasso also explores materials, craftsmanship, and aesthetics from the North America—minimalism in particular. Casas's angular Quilombo desk was made in the USA of American walnut and wrought steel.

For the exhibition Made in America, architect and designer Arthur Casas—who has studios in São Paulo and New York—brings the sights, scenes, and even the smells of his native Brazil to New York's Tribeca. Upon entering the space, visitors are greeted with a montage of scenses from Brazil projected over Casas's architectural drawings—and a signature scent created by cosmetics company Natura. The dramatic entrance does more than transport visitors to South America, it also gives a glimpse into the designer's process—as Casas points out, he still begins all his designs with a sketch by hand.

The bowls come in two sizes, the smaller one at 9 inches diameter is made from 1,000 GB pounds and the larger one at approximately 20 inches diameter is made from 3,000 GB pounds.

“Money bowls reflect the thin borders between valuable and useless, stable and variable, ancient and contemporary. Stability—one of the bowls basic principles is taken out.” -Arthur Analts

Architect Orlando Denardi and husband Arthur Machado (pictured with their cat Theo) bought their São Paulo, Brazil apartment in 2021. It was a lucky find: a penthouse with two floors across 125 square meters, and with a dedicated outdoor space.

At breakfast, Arthur multitasks while seated at the dining table. He hand-stenciled the pattern on the wall in the background.

Arthur carved the Indiana limestone–clad bar out of an awkward space in the hallway.

Prints of Herem's London landmark drawings, like King's Cross railroad station, are available on his website.

"Brazil is everywhere," Casas says of the country's influence on his work. "It's very common in Brazil that you don't take things away, like small piece of marble, when cracked. They put everything together." The mosaic surface of his Tiles coffee table is an example of that approach to materials.

Arthur’s Cave, by Miller Kendrick Architects, references King Arthur and will be insulated with locally sourced sheep’s wool.

In Chicago’s Lower West Side, editorial director Chelsea Jackson and and her chef husband Arthur renovated their fourth-floor condominium to include a custom Bulthaup kitchen. "We wanted to find a kitchen island that would be light enough to make the room seem large while still standing up to heavy-duty cooking," Chelsea notes. Calls to kitchen retailers were fruitless until Arthur reached the Bulthaup showroom, where the staff suggested he come check out a floor model of the discontinued System 20 kitchen. The stainless steel island, with its precise profile and gas cooktop, was exactly what the couple was after, and they bought it on the spot. A full Bulthaup kitchen—completed with components from the B3 range—would soon become the centerpiece of their new home.

SysHaus completed their first project—a 2,217-square-foot, single-story home in São Paulo—in collaboration with local architecture studio Arthur Casas Design, who was responsible for the furniture selection, utility systems, finishes, and interior accessories.

King's County Distillery (Kushner Studios) New York's oldest whiskey distillery since the 21st amendment boasts a rich history. The stills were fabricated in Scotland and the space features a stunning mix of concrete, columns and brick.

In 1962, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architect Arthur Witthoefft won the AIA's highest honor for a home he built in the lush woods of Westchester County. Having fended off a developer's wrecking ball, Todd Goddard and Andrew Mandolene went above and beyond to make this manse mint again.

Designed by Arthur Witthoefft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1961, this five-bedroom, five-bathroom midcentury house is set in the woods of Armonk, New York. The 5,000-square-foot home features full-height walls of glass, a wraparound floating terrace, and a quiet deck that overlooks the site's sylvan surroundings.

Step inside a pop-up hotel cabin inspired by the cave that King Arthur and his knights would have slept in while traveling—a legendary cave that could be discovered once, and never again.

Arthur installed shelving from Ikea and poured a cast-in-place concrete shelf to create a small media nook.

The sleeping area, outfitted with a California king-size bed with a built-in headboard made from Baltic birch, showcases expansive views of the mountain landscape, connecting guests to nature.

The goal was to be able to squeeze a full bathroom, kitchen, living room, storage, as well as a sleeping space that would accommodate a king-sized bed into the cabin's original tiny footprint.

SysHaus, designed by São Paulo studio Arthur Casas Design, marries sustainable engineering solutions, state-of-the-art technology, and smart urban design to construct prefabricated, modular homes in less than 60 percent of time required with traditional building methods. Arthur Casas Design included a freestanding kitchen and cabinetry for the interiors, so if needed, the modules can be easily disassembled and relocated to a new site.

The bathroom has shapes meant to represent Pam and Arthur, and brings in the same tile used in the kitchen. The countertop is Corian, and the cabinet fronts are plywood.

"When we started out, Casey wasn’t married and wasn’t dating anyone," says architect Arthur Furman. "So the original project brief was less about bedrooms and bathrooms, and more about the character of the home. Specifically, the shape. Casey had an image in his mind of a house he had photographed early in his career in a wooded area of Maine. The house was a basic shape—as one would draw as a child—just a box with a gabled roof." The home's simple gabled shape is emphasized by the use of burnished stucco on all sides.

Arthur Neiva Pavilion, Jorge Ferreira, 1942, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 1942 Jorge Ferreira, a central figure in Brazil’s modernist movement, adapted the international style to tropical conditions with his design of the Arthur Neiva Pavilion on the main campus of the Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) in Rio de Janeiro. Divided into two connected structures, one with classrooms and laboratories, the other with an auditorium, the reinforced-concrete ensemble is unified by a garden and brilliant blue tile mural by celebrated Brazilian artist and landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. The pavilion pairs the long, lean lines and geometric order of European modernism with verandas, brise-soleil, and trellises that acknowledge the surrounding environment with a sensitive balance of indoor and outdoor space. A Getty grant will support the completion of material and technical analysis of the building, resulting in a comprehensive preventive conservation report and a public seminar to share the project’s outcomes with local architects and increase professional awareness of the planning protocols. Grant support: $60,000

Arthur created the fresh pumpkin salad based on farmers’ market finds.

Son Arthur splits his time with his mom and dad, so Augustine realized he needed a proper bedroom for Arthur as he was getting older.
