Las Vistas Altaona villa development by The Art of Living in Spain
Here are the 6 top features of the villas on the Las Vistas Altaona development that make them truly one-of-a-kind
Las Vistas Altaona is a unique complex of villas located on the Altaona golf course on the Costa Cálida in Murcia developed by The Art Of Living In Spain (TAOLIS).
Why choose Las Vistas Altaona?
Important as location is, the layout, construction, design and experience of the actual homes are, of course, key. In this regard, the villas of Las Vistas Altaona do not disappoint. Attractive and energy efficient, with intelligently designed interiors, they combine aesthetics with comfort, efficiency and privacy, all based on a solid construction method and grounded in respect for their surroundings.
The homes are designed specifically to provide endless views of the golf course, lakes and distant countryside, from inside and out. South-facing gardens and terraces ensure that you can enjoy the warm winter sun, and generous glass windows provide additional views over the region from the comfort of the interior.
Below is an overview of the most important unique features that Las Vistas Altaona offers:
1. Privacy & Feng Shui
The villa designs, layouts and the positioning of the homes and gardens focus on positive energy and maintaining your privacy. The L-shaped building design represents a practical distribution of square meters, and provides maximum privacy from neighbours.
The entire development at Las Vistas Altaona, including the materials used, is designed according to the timeless principles of Feng Shui, optimizing the location and its small community for positive energy. This method has been applied to the spaces, inside and out, of the individual home. As an example, the electricity cables and wiring in the bedrooms is done in such a way that radiation is avoided.
2. Communal Areas
The development offers more than a home: Las Vistas Altaona is a gateway to an effortlessly-healthy lifestyle: everything you need to enjoy the outdoors, relax, or socialize with friends and family is on-hand and easily accessible.
Communal sporting areas, a meditation/yoga facility, shared gardens (including a herb garden) and common relaxation areas represent vital parts of the private community. As a resident of las Vistas Altaona, you can enjoy all these facilities whenever you want, without worries, since they are maintained by the community.
3. Attractive Design & Respect for the Natural Environment
The architects and designers understand very well how a house needs to fit its environment. The homes are low-profile so as not to overwhelm the landscape, and standing in your garden will give you a distinct impression of being in the mountains. The walls are made with a partial stone façade which gives off a warm, natural luster, allowing the structure to blend in with its surroundings.
Furthermore, the design of the homes has been focused on creating large rooms, a logical layout and ample wardrobe space. Nothing has been neglected in the quest to create a house for living comfortably, privately and efficiently.
4. Green Roofs
Even the flat roofs afford green vistas, no matter which direction you look. In a gesture to function and form, indigenous plants have been placed on the rooftops to create the feeling of another natural space. In addition to their aesthetic properties and their aromas, the plants act as repellents to pests such as wasps and mosquitos to further enhance your comfort.
A green roof offers many other economic, ecological, and social benefits. It promotes biodiversity, retains rainwater, purifies the air, reduces noise and regulates temperature. These roofs help create a cooler and more pleasant climate, which means less air conditioning is required, which in turn means energy savings.
And what’s more, people are happier in a green environment than in a grey environment. Green roofs increase the feeling of well-being and living in a green environment brings people together, it has a positive effect on social cohesion.
Lastly, a green roof protects the waterproofing and roofing materials from external influences such as sun, rain, wind and temperature fluctuations, and doubles or even triples the lifespan of your roof providing economic advantages as well.
5. Innovative Building Method
Las Vistas Altaona uses the unique and innovative SISMO building system, which guarantees that your property has many advantages compared to traditional construction methods. SISMO offers a high-quality industrialized building system based on custom-made building panels.
The advantages of the SISMO system are as follows:
- Energy Efficient & Sound Insulation: the excellent thermal insulation of SISMO ensures a significant reduction in energy consumption of your home. The SISMO construction technique also guarantees efficient acoustic insulation.
- Cost-efficient: reduction in construction costs and a lower cost price, enabling you to buy a home with an optimal price/quality ratio.
- Fast Delivery: it saves up to 50% on execution time, leading to faster delivery so you can move faster into your new home.
- High Quality: SISMO offers a monolithic structure that is resistant to ground movements in a way that prevents cracks in the facades. It gives a particularly high resistance to earthquakes, fire and storm. Furthermore, it eliminates other problems associated with traditional building methods, like humidity issues.
- Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing: the production process of the SISMO elements is non-polluting and waste on the construction site is also significantly reduced.
6. Solid foundation on original soil
TAOLIS’s extensive experience in Altaona has shown that there are many houses with cracks and humidity problems. With this knowledge, considering that the ground is composed of unsteady soil in certain areas of the resort, they did an extensive geotechnical investigation of the site. The study showed that the subsoil of the plot is surprisingly good, largely due to the better location at the foot of the mountain compared to the rest of the houses in the urbanization.
Las Vistas Altaona will be built on the original soil (not soil excavated from elsewhere) and firmly compacted. Using this original solid soil in combination with the SISMO construction method – which means lower weight of the structure and therefore lower pressure per m2 than traditional construction – they considered further improving the foundation, decreasing the possibility of future problems and giving stability to the construction for a lifetime.
With this objective, according to the indications of architects for each case, there will be a foundation in two phases, consisting of soil compaction until geologist’s certification, finished with a reinforced concrete slab.
COMING SOON: Las Vistas Yecla
TAOLIS is also in the process of developing a new project, Las Vistas Yecla, in the north of Murcia, which will be a unique opportunity to live inside a vineyard, in direct contact with nature and have a more healthy and eco-sustainable lifestyle.
Located just 15 minutes’ drive away from the hustle and bustle of Yecla, with all its cultural and gastronomic offerings, the development will be situated in the middle of nature. It is a small-scale project, with a maximum of three cortijos and a minimum plot size of 20,000m2. It will even provide you with the opportunity to have your own wine production, and to live in a more environmentally friendly way while caring for your mental wellbeing.
