energy efficient housing development  at Larisa .

Urban, architectural and landscape design . 

   The development is formed by 16 two- story houses . Buildings  are designed with sustainable design principles. The twofold objective is inhabitants' well being and the conservation of 

the environment. 

    Orientation to South permits large openings and solar heat penetration. The heat gained is stored in the stone pavers  floor. Shading devices  protect the interior from overheating at summer.

  Monopitched roofs improve the performance of solar and photovoltaic panels installed.

  Landsape is designed to improve energy conservation. Planting protects from summer overheating and exposition to winter winds. Rain water is collected to be reused for irrigation.
