The planning considered thermal and acoustic insulation, reduction of energy losses, natural lighting, ventilation of the rooms, and the use of construction solutions that focus on the relationship between the apartment, the person, and the environment.The project aimed to create a balanced relationship between the building, the living spaces, and the surrounding nature, enhancing the quality of the place and the perceived well-being of the occupants.Several design and construction aspects were considered, including:Building orientation and natural lightingThe arrangement of the rooms and openings was designed to allow natural light to enter during the day, contributing to making the spaces brighter and more pleasant and reducing the need for artificial lighting.Thermal insulation of the building envelopeWalls, roof, floors, and windows contribute to limiting heat exchange between the inside and outside, allowing for a more stable and comfortable indoor temperature throughout the year.Reduction of energy lossesAttention to the building envelope and the main construction elements enables the limitation of heat losses in the cold season and overheating during the warmest months, promoting more efficient energy use.The heating systems and hot water production were considered in terms of occupant comfort and energy consumption reduction, with solutions aimed at rational resource management.Selection of materials and construction solutionsMaterials and construction solutions were chosen with attention to durability, functionality, and living comfort, prioritizing solutions consistent with the project's quality and sustainability objectives.Acoustic comfortThe insulation of the construction elements was also considered to limit the transmission of noise from outside and from adjacent rooms, promoting greater living tranquility.Relationship between building and environmentThe project aims to create a balanced relationship between the building, the living spaces, and the surrounding nature, enhancing the quality of the place and the perceived well-being of the occupants.Inspiration from the principles of bionomics and electrobiologyThe project is also inspired by the principles of bionomics, understood as attention to the balance between the building, people, and the natural environment. This approach considers the apartment not only as a functional space but also as a place to be designed with attention to comfort conditions, the quality of the spaces, and the relationship with the surrounding context.Some aspects related to electrobiology were also considered, with the intention of limiting, as far as technically possible and compatible with the building's characteristics, the presence or exposure to unnecessary electric and electromagnetic fields in the living spaces.The property includes a parking space in the underground garage, available for 60,000 CHF.The property represents an interesting solution both as a residence and as an investment, thanks to its quiet location, the presence of green spaces, and the possibility of obtaining rental income.
