At 40 km from the city of Palma de Mallorca, in the municipality of Campos, on a beautiful plot this house has been designed to create a respectful building with people and environment.The municipality, which has about 11,000 inhabitants, is one of those with the greatest short-term development projection and in it we find remarkable beaches such as Es Trenc, Es Carbó, EsCalo d’es Moro or Cala Mondragó, among others. This house with simple and clear forms, with a North/South orientation, is located between carob and almond trees on a 15.000m2 flat plot in the countryside. The house offers different degrees of privacy. An arch, open to the west, grands the acces to the living room that shares space with the kitchen and the dining room. A short corridor leads to 3 double bedrooms with private bathroom, a pantry and a toilet. To the south, appears the outdoor enjoyment area where the swimming pool is the main element of a small oasis. A series of strategies to achieve a low energy demand are applied on the design of the building. The bioclimatic design of the house, in which the orientation of the openings and the position of shading elements have been taken into account, to optimize solar capture throughout the seasons, allows energy consumption for air conditioning in the home to be reduced by taking advantage of the sun’s heat and natural cross ventilation. Along with this, the Passivhaus principles are added, which consist of thick insulation, high-performance windows, free of thermal bridges design, absence of energy losses due to infiltrations and controlled mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
