Good Energy House is based on the principle of duality, emphasizing both energy efficiency and a positive impact on its residents. Two distinct frames accentuate the entrance in the middle. The cantilevered stairs are in a double-height space filled with natural light, infusing the house with energy. The entrance provides immediate access to the garden and terrace, blurring indoor and outdoor spaces. Large windows ensure transparency and a connection with nature.
The usable area is equal 470 m2. The ground floor is divided into two zones. The double-height living area is surrounded by glazing, fostering an open atmosphere. The kitchen is visually separated from the dining room, maintaining functionality. The house is designed to foster gatherings. On the left, the spa zone includes a swimming pool and a jacuzzi surrounded by a glass-walled apse. Both the living and spa areas are connected by a shared terrace with a pergola and greenery. That enhances the flow between the interior and exterior.
Upstairs, the layout splits into two wings – one for parents and one for children. The central study with a northern-facing window offers ideal lighting for work and overlooks the garden. A four-car garage is hidden in the underground level.
The villa integrates two types of energy. The first form is energy-efficiency, utilizing eco-friendly technologies like photovoltaic panels, a heat pump, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, domestic sewage treatment plant and rainwater tank. The use of renewable energy minimizes environmental impact. Top-class materials are employed. Thermal insulation retains heat lowering costs. Used aluminum joinery and quartz sinters have low-carbon footprint.
The second metaphorical sense is that the house brings positive energy into life. Open spaces encourage energy circulation, creating a harmonious atmosphere. The duality of the concept is symbolized by two frames and the division of the floors and garden, embodying balance and unity.
