Description
We present a conveniently unfinished project that offers its future owners the possibility of designing the end.
The author of this project has opted for a severe and austere design. A true homage to Mallorcan architecture, simple and harmonious.
PASSIVE HOUSE INSPIRED
Totally respectful of the environment, FUSIONING THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, the house has all the characteristics of a PASSIVE HOUSE, easy to heat in winter and easy to cool in summer. Its energy consumption is very low and the interior temperature remains stable throughout the year without applying conventional air conditioning.
Thanks to the efforts of its creator, it has become not only a house with almost zero consumption, but also a home that, although equiped with running water, recycles the water it consumes, as well as collects and filters rainwater. At the same time, even though it is connected to ENDESA's electricity grid, all the energy consumed
comes from its photovoltaic installation.
One of the results of the passive strategies employed by its designer is the good quality of the air inside, favouring constant exchange and maintaining a constant humidity of 60%, free of impurities. To prevent the air from becoming polluted, and without the need to open the windows, the house incorporates a ventilation
machine with heat recovery that creates a circuit. It draws air out of the kitchen and bathrooms and brings outside air into the bedrooms. All this process is carried out through a thermal exchange that prevents the air entering the rooms from being at an external temperature.
THE PROPERTY
The house is accessed through a small porch that leads to a large entrance hall opened up to the upper floor. A spacious, fresh and bright space that immediately reveals the special attention that has been paid to the colours and materials of the interior of the house, among which we highlight its splendid and at the same time simple natural marble staircase. On this floor we find the day area which consists of a large living room with fireplace adapted to the requirements of airtightness and insulation of the passive house, a kitchen (yet to be designed), a bathroom and a study room. This generous area offers a high level of comfort and communicates
with the garden and swimming pool.
The upper floor has three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom also offers a dressing room. A good distribution of highly luminous spaces that transmit calm and comfort.
Other amenities are high insulation thickness, no thermal bridges, highest quality carpentry on the market (7-chamber PVC with triple glazing, argon gas and solar control layer), access door with the same thermal and watertightness features, aerothermal, underfloor heating and cooling, water softener, alarm, domotic control
of the installations.
IN A NUTSHELL
An ideal place to take refuge in the summer months, with cool, uncluttered interiors and outdoor spaces where you can enjoy the good weather in total privacy.
SURROUNDINGS
The house is located five minutes away from two picturesque villages, Sencelles and Costitx. The centre of Palma and the airport are approximately half an hour away. Its privileged location avoids being affected by the air routes that have a stronger impact a few kilometres further south.
