About Atlas And Pleione Biolaichean Sòghail Fo-thalamh

Tha Atlas agus Pleione suidhichte air fearann cladaich ann an caladh nàdarra àlainn Sivota, air eilean Lefkada, anns a' Ghrèig. 'S e ionad de dhà bhiola fo-thalamh agus taigh-aoigheachd fo-thalamh a th' ann. Tha Biola Atlas 30 meatair bhon uisge a' chuain, agus tha Biola Pleione 50 meatair air falbh. Tha dealbhadh mion-mhaoineach nam bhiolaichean uile, na loidhnichean ailtireachd lomghlan, na mullaichean uaine, agus na h-uinneagan fada a' cothlamadh gnìomhalachd, sògh agus seasmhachd gu foirfe. Tha dealbhadh gun samhail, càirdeil don àrainneachd aig an oighreachd, taobhan a-staigh air deilbh, agus trì amaran-snàmh mòra.

Production Technology
The most significant technique and methodology that needed to be taken under consideration in designing the whole project was the research of developing a subterranean building, on a rocky ground, next to the ocean and having to solve possible insulation issues on the green roves and sideways, ventilation and natural air, natural light and humidity issues while keeping a unique minimal architectural design.
Design Challenge
Green roves, Side tunnel, Rocky ground, Incline, Oceanfront
Research
The main research that had to be done it was about the subterranean houses design and development. We had to study very well the way the houses should be designed in order to have the right insulation, ventilation and in the meantime to provide the right functionality. We collected data from European isolation experts, we exchanged ideas with companies that participated in Leed and other green developments and we cooperated with certified companies in order to get the best quality materials.
Inspiration
The inspiration for this project came from the global necessity to design and develop properties that respect the environment. Our main goal was to design a luxurious and unique residential project that provides healthy and functional living, sustainability, and is environmentally friendly. Unique design, natural materials, subterranean houses that blend with the surroundings, rocky oceanfront plots, and more, were some of the challenges we had to face while designing and developing this project
Project Duration
The project started December 2019 and finished August 2022.
Operation Flow
The people who are the inhabitants of this property consume less energy, they live in a healthy clean environment, and in general, the energy footprint is low as most things are being managed sustainably.
