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.
