General details
An exceptional property set in a peaceful location on Vila Praia da Luz, in the Mata Porcas urbanization. With a elevated first floor, it was possible to reach stunning views to the Atlantic Ocean and to the countryside. The extremely spacious and contemporary style of the villa offers a high degree of comfort, with well-coordinated materials and construction techniques.
Environment and Sustainability
This villa was designed with the environment and sustainability in mind. The design employs some PassiveHouse concepts.
‘The best energy is less energy’ (Wolfgang Feist).
PassiveHouse is a design concept that sets a standard that is efficient from an energy point of view, comfortable, affordable and sustainable.
Energy efficiency – The PassiveHouse is the highest standard of energy efficiency worldwide: energy savings (heating and cooling) reach 75% compared to conventional buildings and according to current regulations.
Comfortable – PassiveHouse has an uniform temperature without large variations (minimum temperature 20º and maximum temperature 25º) and a good indoor air quality (relative humidity, CO2), contributing to the well being and health of its occupants.
Affordable – The additional PassiveHouse construction cost does not exceed, on average, 5% compared to a conventional construction, it is also possible to construct at common prices. The operating costs of a Passive House are substantially lower than a conventional building due to reduced energy needs and maintenance.
Sustainability – In a PassiveHouse there is a drastic reduction of CO2 emissions due to energy efficiency. The PassiveHouse concept contributes to climate protection by the less dependence on fossil fuels. The low energy requirements of a Passive House can be easily met by renewable.
Five key principles:
-Thermal insulation
-PassiveHouse windows
-Comfort ventilation with highly efficient heat recovery
-Airtight building envelope
-Thermal bridge free construction
