Villa 3 the flying house

The Flying House is a spectacular design consisting of two rectangular volumes, stacked crosswise – so parts of the upper volume “fly out” over the landscape. The result is not only a very impressive design but also a “flying” master suite with amazing views. Optionally, the roof terrace can be used as an additional entertainment space, complete with bar, spa, jacuzzi and plunge pools.

Right side

Although the Flying House is fully air-conditioned, the house was designed with eco-friendly principles in mind. For instance, great attention was given to natural cross ventilation: the house captures the cooler breezes on one side and allows warmer air to escape from high-placed windows on the other side. This creates a natural chimney effect – the warm air is always evacuated at the back, while cooler air is drawn from the front. This brings down the internal temperature in a natural way, but the constant airflow is also perceived on the skin as a cooling breeze, further reducing the perceived temperature.

Construction

The house is constructed with high class materials and the best design available in the market.

This allows relatively thin walls compared to walls with similar insulation qualities but with commonly used insulation materials. Given a sturdy aerated concrete wall on the inside, the look and feel are that of a concrete house, but with much better insulation and constructional qualities. Together with a reinforced concrete basement and foundation, the house is designed to last almost without maintenance.
