Building
techniques
Näckros Villas climate
protection system is technologically advanced and can be set up
without requiring mechanical connection work. In this way, a very
tight construction has been achieved which promotes the
buildings ability to retain energy, improving energy
consumption. The house has a patented insulated foundation that
provides a dry interior environment without condensation problems.
The villas climate protection system is constructed with modern
non-organic materials. The underwater construction is a watertight
insulated foundation in concrete. Above water surfaces including the
load bearing outer walls and roof are of a sandwich construction.
Outer materials are glass, gel coat and treated aluminium.
Stability
and mooring
Näckros Villa sits securely and
stably in the water with its 165 ton constructed weight and is
impervious to wind, waves and winter ice. The whole building is
surrounded by an aluminium-mooring bar so a boat can be easily
fastened. The house is constructed to be placed beside a jetty or
pier whilst the welcoming entry hall is reached via a jetty from dry
land.
Environmentally sound
A Näckros Villa is constructed
with material recycling potential as a starting point. New techniques
and carefully chosen materials have resulted in a house that is
extremely comfortable to live in and is in many parts recyclable.
Heating and
ventilation
Heating is provided by a pump, which
draws heat from the surrounding water. Heat is distributed through
the house through water bearing under floor heating. Two-way air
ventilation can be found throughout the house. As far as possible,
the house has been designed to meet demands in respect of both energy
and environment.
Electricity
and water/drainage
In its base form, Näckros Villa
is constructed to receive electricity and water/drainage from land.
However, the villa can be designed for higher levels of
self-sufficiency. All electricity cables have a reduced
electro-magnetic field and are in halogen free format.
