From the architect. The Jesolo Lido Pool Villa is a custom
designed prefabricated wood structure, and it was built and furnished in
only 6 months. Energy-saving high standards have been applied to the
shell to guarantee maximum comfort and almost zero costs throughout the
four seasons.
The building features wood structures as a flexible and anti-seismic
system which also avoids thermal bridges. The 31 cm of perimeter
insulation, argon-gas insulated glass facades, 10 kw of photovoltaic
panels installed on the roof and the interior / exterior led light
fixtures co-operate in making a technologically contemporary building.
Because of the small dimensions of the plot, the design goal has been
directed in leaving as much open space as possible. The indoor living
area has transparent sides which opens towards two different-sized
patios. The largest one, to the west, features a long swimming pool,
which takes the entire length of the space, and two planted square
inserts.
An olive tree is the main three-dimensional element in the patio and
it’s placed next to the staircase which leads to the underground level,
where the storage and technical rooms are located. The smaller patio, to
the east, also features two planted inserts with another olive tree to
counter balance the other side. The outdoor areas, as a client’s main
request, needed to be low maintenance, so most of the surface was paved
and the plants in the inserts where selected in order to live with the
least care possible.
The 4-meter roof overhang to the west allows to have enough shading
during the hot summer months and allows to place a covered outdoor
seating and dining areas. Interiors are custom designed with typical JMA
solutions, like audio/video walls, custom designed solid-surface
kitchen, motorized roller shades which disappear into the dropped
ceiling for maximum continuity of indoor-outdoor areas, integrated
indirect lighting and home automated electrical system.
The radiant floor heating system is powered with an electric heat
pump which takes the energy from the photovoltaic panels. The
air-conditioning system is fully integrated in the dropped ceiling with
linear diffusers and hidden intakes. As always for JMA, the pursuit of
simplicity and linear solutions represented a large part of the design
work.
