First step was the elimination of components could not be legalized and a prior construction for a posterior legalization of these parts of the building. Part of legalization was recognized and approved on the basis of the old building rights in the municipality of Calvia.But the architect had the old building standards that were applied according to existing determinations in the archives of Calvia.

Construction:

The roof has been created as a flat roof with a massive concrete slab. The flat roof is designed as a so-called inverted roof because with this construction, the roof sealing foil is best protected against the weather.The entire floor has a new suspended ceiling, where are located the air conditioning and the installations.All the walls of the upper floor were created from highly insulating Ytong stones, all cold bridges were consistently avoided and the whole house has a panel with 12 cm thermal insulation of the Fa. Sto.

Only the consistent implementation as extremely insulated low-energy house make it possible this house with geothermal and solar collectors to heat.

The pool was completely renovated. As part of the pool refurbishment the entire pool was resealed and the installation completely renewed. On the balcony now is a construction with LED lights with different colors as an illuminated waterfall, which falls into the pool.

Over the entire front with sea views was created a complete glass fassade. The sun protection is integrated in the glass of the fassade.

 

Installations

The heating of the building is under-floor heating in conjunction with solar collectors, which are installed on the flat roof and in combination with a geothermal system.

The entire hot water supply to the building is provided for the geothermal system with deep wells in combination with the solar collectors.

The whole house is controlled by a home automatisation system. Even the spa is powered by geothermal energy solar system.
