A revolutionary concept in sustainable architecture is set to be developed in the exclusive area of "The 15", in La Reserva de Sotogrande, with the construction of the first "Villa Zero", known as Villa Noon. Designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos for Cork Oak Mansion, an avant-garde housing development, Villa Noon redefines sustainability and luxury standards. idealista/news has exclusive information that the property will be priced at €11.4 million with a guest house and €9.8 million without.
Villa Noon, listed on idealista, features cylindrical volumes that follow the land's terrain and a stone façade that subtly blends into the natural surroundings. From its spacious rooms, residents can enjoy panoramic views of La Reserva, its private beach, the Mediterranean Sea and the North African coast.
Sotogrande, a haven of sustainability and elegance
Since its creation in 1962 by Joseph McMicking, Sotogrande has been a coveted destination in Europe, combining panoramic views, first-class amenities and an exceptional lifestyle. Today, it remains a benchmark for sustainability, preserving its natural surroundings while offering a safe and private place to live and work.
Villa Noon is the first "Villa Zero", a self-sufficient house that produces its own energy and water. It uses an integrated system to collect rainwater and generate drinking water from ambient humidity, minimising cost and environmental impact. The landscape architecture employs local plants and efficient irrigation systems, while the house uses advanced technology such as geothermal energy for air conditioning and hot water production.
Revolutionary design
The house is designed to operate independently of conventional power grids, making it energy-efficient. Geothermal energy powers smart air conditioning, heated indoor pool, sauna, and circadian lighting. "Last century was about energy, water is key in this one," says Silvestre.
Villa Noon will achieve zero water consumption through atmospheric water generation, rainwater harvesting and grey water reuse. Its HVAC system also achieves an efficiency of over 700%, producing more energy than it consumes and even allowing surplus energy to be sold back to the grid.
Sustainable luxury transformation
This project reflects a rising high-end industry trend towards sustainable luxury. Brands such as Range Rover, with its 100% electric vehicle, and De Antonio Yachts, with its electric yacht, are transforming consumer expectations. These innovations not only offer high-quality products but also promote responsible practices that reduce environmental impact.
Villa Noon, along with partner brand initiatives, sets a new standard in the sustainable luxury sector, proving that exceptional design, comfort and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. This approach not only benefits the residents of these homes but contributes to a more sustainable future for everyone.
