Loulé, Algarve, Portugal

A unique and pioneering project in Portugal certified as ZERO ENERGY.

SUSTAINABILITY:
This villa was built with every environmental concern, taking into account sustainability, the use of ecological materials and minimising the visual impact on the landscape, from the development of the architectural project to its completion.

This unique type of construction translates into
- the use of local materials and the surrounding nature itself
- interior wall cladding made from natural materials resulting from the excavation of the land
- chemical-free interior paintwork, solid wood doors, wardrobes and bedroom floors
- the use of local materials for the exterior flooring and the composition of the roof of the house
All of this provides greater comfort and air quality inside the house, keeping the ambient temperature at 21ºC.
Another aspect considered in this project was the recovery of rainwater, a borehole to capture groundwater, and the separation and treatment of wastewater for reuse in the green spaces.

INSIDE:
Set in a 9940 m2 plot, this luxury villa with modern lines has a construction area of 300 m2. It has an entrance hall, a large open-plan living room with a fully equipped kitchen with top-of-the-range appliances, a laundry room, a guest toilet, 4 en-suite bedrooms and a garage.
The house is distributed over a single floor and is accessible to people with reduced mobility.

OUTSIDE:
The villa offers various environments, with low water consumption plants, where you can enjoy the surrounding natural landscape. Enjoy the swimming pool with magnificent views and a deck with a fish pond and a waterfall, providing a peaceful and serene environment.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Care has been taken to demonstrate environmental and energy efficiency in the design of the villa:
- Use of skylights to direct natural light into the circulation spaces and bathrooms;
- Controlled Mechanical Ventilation (CMV) to renew indoor air.
- Air-conditioning system for heating and cooling using underfloor water heating
- Water heating with solar panels and low-consumption heat pump
- Photovoltaic system - 5.6 kw/hour
- External thermal insulation system for the walls (Weber Therm certified system)

Located in a quiet, central area, the villa is just 1 km from the Algarve Stadium, a 4-minute drive from Mar Shopping, a 10-minute drive from Faro Airport and a 15-minute drive from Quinta do Lago. The towns of Faro, Loulé and Almancil, with their restaurants, beaches and all services, are just a 10-minute drive away.
