London architects are designing this marvel eco destination, which hopes to have zero negative environmental impact. Its 35 self-sufficient villas, are to be energized by solar and wind power.
� The infinity pool in front of each villa will use water that has been naturally filtered by reeds in an adjoining pool � Natural air conditioning will cool the villas. The shape of the villa walls will draw sea breeze into the bedroom, after being cooled by passing over the swimming pool. Cold water pipes will run through the inside of the bed to cool it further. � Villa’s water supply is to be from rainwater and desalinated seawater. � Hot water will be from pipes which run beneath the solar panels on the roof, and so are naturally warmed. � The resort will be built from local earth, renewable timber and reclaimed stone. � Construction itself will be from local earth, renewable timber and reclaimed stone. � Bicycles are likely to be the mode of transport for the 100 staff. � Waste will be put into a biomass generator to produce energy. � Energy from gym machines will be used in the electric supply. Richard Hywel Evans, the British architect behind the resort said:
Carbon neutral is very difficult to achieve. What goes into the hotel must be available locally and plentifully, and what comes out the end must not damage the environment.
Nevertheless, green concerns have not made this Per Aquum resort any less luxurious. It is an effort that supports the local environment as well as the people living there. When built it will be a fine example of an eco tourist destination.
