PREDIO DE SA FUA
Predio de Sa Fúa is a unique residential complex in one of the most beautifulareas in the south of Minorque. The complex consists of 36 bioclimatichouses surrounded by vegetation. These are divided into four rows each withnine houses, following the natural slope of the land that descends to the seain terraces. This distribution enables all households to enjoy the views, as theterraces are on the upper level and are slightly elevated above the roof gardenof the housing directly below. The complex faces south to get more sunlight.The use of thermal clay brick, stone cladding on the walls and landscapedroofs produce major energy savings, while integrating the houses into thelandscape. The use of the excavated rocks to build the walls of the propertyallows for maximum integration with the natural landscape.Local vegetation –Mediterranean plants, shrubs and trees– can be seen inboth public and private spaces. The green roofs regulate the temperature inside.The pools are integrated into the houses, so that from the interior theylook like sheets of water that can be confused with the sea.This project is a good example of the fact that the sophistication of exclusivehomes is not incompatible with bioclimatic architecture and carefullandscape design, and that the aesthetics need not be incompatible with asustainable home. In 2002 the Promaris European Mediterranean Foundationawarded the complex the First Prize for Mediterranean Environmental Quality,which recognizes the efforts in environmental conservation and sustainabledevelopment.
