Villa 259 In Polop, Spain

A well-known European developer wants to please us with a truly interesting project. The good size and planning of the house combined with eco-friendly technologies result in an excellent outcome. A combination of eco-minimalism, Scandinavian style, and vibrant Spanish atmosphere is exquisitely reflected in this house. A total of six villas are being built on plots of 438 square meters. The usable area of the residence is 194 square meters, distributed across two floors.

The villa features an impressive solarium of 53 square meters and two terraces measuring 21 and 15 square meters, offering magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea and Polop de la Marina. The ground floor includes a spacious living room, a fully equipped open kitchen, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms with underfloor heating. The semi-basement floor, with ample natural light, can be adapted to suit your preferences and needs.

The villa has an adjacent building intended for a laundry room of 7 square meters, which could be converted into a sauna. It’s worth taking a moment to focus on the construction technology, as you won’t find truly environmentally friendly houses in our region. Cross-laminated timber (CLT), first introduced in Austria in the early 1990s, is a large prefabricated engineered wood panel. It’s lightweight but very durable. Compared to conventional materials, it has excellent acoustic, fire-resistant, seismic-resistant, and thermal properties.

Fun fact: Mjostärnet in Norway, an 18-story building, is the tallest CLT building in the world.

### Features
**Strength:** CLT has a high compressive strength, up to 50 MPa (megapascals) due to its layered structure, comparable to concrete and steel.

**Fire Resistance:** The 5-layer CLT panel is naturally fire-resistant and can withstand fire for up to 90 minutes.

**Thermal Insulation:** CLT achieves an impressive heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of 0.18 W/m2K.

**Acoustic Properties:** CLT provides good sound insulation, with noise reduction levels reaching 50-60 dB depending on thickness.

**Durability:** CLT structures can last for decades and, with proper maintenance, for centuries.

**Earthquake Resistance:** CLT is suitable for earthquake-prone areas due to its flexibility and light weight.

**Environmentally Friendly:** CLT panels are made from natural wood; their production requires less energy, and wood absorbs carbon dioxide, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of construction.
