Vitae Villas stand for a new approach to development that is uncompromised in its commitment to enduring principles of sustainability, design and quality in every aspect of each project.
Inspired by the rugged contours of the mountainous landscape and the temperate seasons of the Mediterranean climate, Vitae Villas was founded as a concept for living in harmony with nature.
Central to the philosophy is the principle of maximum integration, whereby the villa structure adapts to the topography of the land. Rather than imposing upon the terrain, the villas adhere closely to the mountain’s shape and slope, allowing themto blend harmoniously with their surroundings. The villa’s natural green landscape is the garden, which consists of plants selected for their drought resilience and low maintenance requirements, contributing to biodiversity while reducing water demand.
Strategically placed internal garden patios and variations on the ancient ‘thermal chimney’ element generate internal airflow to keep the villa naturally cool in the hot summer months. These green patios not only enhance indoor air quality and comfort but also provide habitat for flora, strengthening the connection to nature. Calculated overhangs characterize each villa, serving both as attractive architectural features and clever shading elements. They provide protection from the high summer sun – and allow the low winter sun to warm the villa’s living spaces.
Specially constructed green water-retaining roofs capture and absorb rainwater to avoid erosion and support the nourishment of the rooftop flora. Water drainage and ventilation around the embedded structure ensure a solid and insulated home.In a region known for its sunny climate, solar panels on the upper green roof harness the renewable energy source.
Vitae Villas’ commitment to quality and specialized local craftmanship is
apparent in every aspect of the project, from concept to completion.
Exceptional skill and dedication is applied to each step in the development process
– including design, construction and installations. It’s a rigorous approach and a
demanding method that yields the best result. The maker’s hand will forever remain
embedded in each project. Each villa tells an authentic story of a unique and
timeless project.
Every new project is completed to an absolute standard of excellence in engineering, materials and craftsmanship.
