AquaVilla’ s largest home is an inspiring feat of architecture and design, which is synonymous with the growth of the company to date. Constructed on a 12 x 18 metre concrete support on the seabed, the beautiful home is as much a product of the innovative materials used, as the creative idea that inspired it. Kebony proved to be the perfect material for this project; its resistance to wear and weathering was a key consideration when choosing the material given the waterfront location of Sjövilla 210.
Developed in Norway, Kebony’ s revolutionary technology is an environmentally friendly process which modifies sustainably sourced softwoods by heating the wood with furfuryl alcohol- an agricultural by-product. By polymerising the wood’ s cell wall, the softwoods permanently take on the attributes of tropical hardwood including high durability, hardness and dimensional stability. In addition, the smooth nature of the Kebony wood is suitable for those walking on the decking with bare feet; the wood does not get too hot making it pleasing for visitors to stand on during the height of the summer.
At the heart of AquaVilla is a core connection to the surrounding environment. Through the installation of an Aqua Energy System, which utilises energy from nearby water to heat properties, and the company’ s assurance to using space effectively, AquaVilla has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the environment. The use of Kebony for the external walls, decking and roof terrace in their largest villa to date, further reiterates this strong commitment to revolutionary environmental technology.
AQUAVILLA’ S LARGEST HOME IS AN INSPIRING FEAT OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN, WHICH IS SYNONYMOUS WITH THE GROWTH OF THE COMPANY TO DATE.
