SUSTAINABILITY
We always stay true to our unique style, aiming for the best quality in materials that come from local natural resources. Our projects are not only beautiful, but they also respect the environment, use local craftsmanship, and focus on sustainability and responsibility.
Mediterranean architecture, celebrated for its iconic arches and strategic design, naturally embraces sustainability. These arches, beyond their aesthetic appeal, optimize natural cooling through improved air circulation, lessening dependence on artificial cooling systems. The orientation and structure, including expansive windows, harness natural light, reducing energy use throughout the day. Integrating modern advancements like solar panels with these traditional designs enhances energy efficiency, allowing these homes to generate renewable energy and further reduce their carbon footprint. This blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary technology creates a sustainable living space that respects the Mediterranean's natural beauty and resources.
What is a Passivhaus ?
The “Passivhaus” is a highly energy-efficient building design that is increasingly important in the context of global warming and energy conservation. Originating from the Passivhaus Institut in Germany, founded in 1996, this design focuses on creating buildings with minimal energy needs for heating and cooling. Key features include high-quality insulation, airtight construction, and high-performance windows. These houses maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round, significantly reduce energy costs (up to 75% savings compared to traditional buildings), and ensure longevity and durability through rigorous design and construction standards.
These homes not only provide comfort and health benefits due to their controlled ventilation and low CO2 levels but also offer environmental advantages by drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The use of natural materials like lime mortar, clay flooring, and natural woods, combined with low-impact construction methods, further enhances the sensory experience and indoor quality of life. In essence, these sustainable homes represent a sustainable and profitable investment in response to the current climate crisis, offering a viable solution for environmentally conscious living without compromising on comfort or quality.
