Together with Pininfarina we have created a unique home. The exterior does not have a filter that flows into the interior and creates a continuity of spaces. Just like in nature, light brings the home to life, creating the perfect atmosphere for family life.
The façades are oriented towards the best views, providing a beautiful view of nature from every space. Glass facades allow natural sunlight to enter the rooms at any time of the day. And in winter, these facades will help absorb the heat of sunlight and keep it in the building.
Notched windows will help deflect wind and reduce air pressure around the building, creating an insulating barrier. They can also be used to direct the wind inward during the summer, which will reduce the need for air conditioning.
Geothermal heat pump combined with zoned floor heating creates the most economical and convenient heating system. Solar panels can be installed on the roof and generate electricity for the villa. Rainwater and melting snow can be redirected around the building to be used as "grey water".
The green roof is a technology that reduces energy consumption for both heating and cooling. A thin silver coating on all glass facades helps keep heat in or out of the building. In summer, it can draw heat away from the glass, and in winter not to lose internal heat through the glass.
