AlmaVerde
Village & Spa
Western Algarve, Portugal

|
| Villa
Luz - Casuarina & Grande |
|
|
Set
in eight hectares of landscaped parkland, AlmaVerde Spa is
at the heart of a complex of amenities designed to meet the
year-round health, fitness and leisure needs of both residents
and guests. AlmaVerde is planned as a low density community,
with only ten percent of the total area designated for building.

With
the benefit of many years of successful low energy design
experience, the team has developed a new building specification
tailored to local climatic conditions. Building materials
and systems have been carefully selected and combined for
their thermal and insulating properties, as well as for their
beauty, durability and cost. Specification options include
natural, renewable materials such as cork for insulation and
adobe for thermal mass. Contributing to this effort is The
Coolhouse Project, an EU-funded partnership of environmental
engineers and architects working to develop low energy alternatives
to domestic air conditioning.

A
central feature of Villa Luz is the sheltered inner courtyard,
which, together with permeability of the living spaces,
gives the house a tremendous feeling of space and light.
Arches lead from the hallway to the large eat-in kitchen.
There
is open access from the kitchen to the formal dining area,
with arches also leading from the hallway and dining area
to the spacious main living area. Over this area, accessed
by a concealed stairway, is a gallery with access to two
roof terraces, oriented to enjoy the sun at different times
of day.

Villa
Luz has three bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms and patio
doors to the garden, and a room off the main living area that
can be used as a study, family room or fourth bedroom. A wide
set of patio doors leads out onto a sheltered, covered south-facing
terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, and the pool area.
You
can opt to have a Luz Grande, the description is as above
plus more space and 4 + bedrooms
