AlmaVerde Villa Designs
Villas feature large, open-plan living areas, dramatic double-height interior spaces, galleries and roof terraces. Outdoor spaces include sun-kissed terracotta terraces and freeform pools, set within lush, sub-tropical landscaping.
The many available designs are carefully juxtaposed to optimize privacy, and employ a consistent palette of colours and architectural details to create a unified, harmonious whole.
In response to local climatic conditions, AlmaVerde has developed an innovative, award-winning building system, selecting materials for their thermal and insulating properties, as well as their beauty and durability.
Inner walls are of sun-dried solid clay, a traditional material that regulates both temperature and humidity. An external insulation system eliminates cracks and the need for regular repainting. Not least, the Coolhouse comfort cooling system brings in air through underground tubes as a low-energy alternative to air-conditioning.
The benefits are manifest: Incredibly consistent internal temperatures and humidity levels, low maintenance and energy costs, delighted owners.
There are individual plots of varying sizes for one hundred and thirty villas, of which one hundred are already built. There are also plans for twenty eight townhouses and one hundred and eighteen garden apartments.
