Future villa owners can choose the option of installing video surveillance in the exterior as well. The villas will have the same energy efficiency as a passive house, and energy savings can be increased by installing solar panels on the roof of the ground floor of the house (up to 70 m2). Each villa has two covered parking spaces.

The villas are sold in a high rohbau stage (shell phase of construction), with built-in wall and floor surfaces, basic bathroom sanitary ceramics and outlets for lighting and appliances. At the buyer’s request, the interior of the house can be completed to the turnkey level.

The interior design of the show house provides an insight into the various possibilities of luxury design and equipment: elements of Mediterranean and Scandinavian design style are combined; materials are natural, such as walnut, oak and Istrian stone cladding; the furniture is light-toned, by the Italian brand Ditre and Scandinavian manufacturer Fritz Hansen; the custom-made kitchen is equipped with Electrolux built-in appliances; it is possible to install a suspended bioethanol fireplace (CoCoon Fires or other of the same value); there is an option of designing and installing lighting fixtures (brands Verpan, Flos, etc.); at the customer’s request, the interior can be furnished with furniture pieces and works of art.

The architecture of the entire complex stems from a careful consideration of its historical and natural environment, especially taking into account the traditional characteristics of the architecture of the Istrian climate. The project represents a kind of homage to the established Istrian construction elements, such as the stone facade, gable roof and covered outdoor terraces, supplementing them with modern technologies and solutions – concrete elements, large glass surfaces, hidden system of installations, smart technologies and equipment. The spaces are planned according to the orientation of the sun, thus achieving protection against overheating. Special attention is paid to the privacy and intimacy of the tenants: the plots are raised in height in relation to each other and separated by stone walls and dense green fences, and the houses are positioned in such a way as to prevent visibility towards other villas’ yards, while all the windows feature reflective glass in order to prevent the view from the outside towards the interior.

Completion of the construction is planned for 2025.
