Contemporary designer villas

Next-generation climate control and home automation for Soto de la Moraleja villas

Contemporary architecture, large windows and a level of technical demand that matches the design of every home.

Housing type in Soto de la Moraleja

Designer villas with plenty of glass and many distinct zones

Soto de la Moraleja stands out for its contemporary villas, with extensive glazing, open sightlines between rooms and an attention to design that extends to every detail of the home. That same light-filled architecture creates very different thermal loads between the most heavily glazed zones and the rest of the house, and demands that the technical installation be as carefully considered as the interior design. The electrical systems in these homes tend to be recent, but are rarely prepared for the level of home automation and full climate control that owners often end up wanting.

Climate control

Air-source heat pumps with fine zoning for open-plan architecture

In villas with large windows and open spaces linking the living room, kitchen and dining area, an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating and cooling has to be paired with very precise zone control, because the solar load coming through the main window bears no relation to that of a north-facing bedroom. Without that zoning, the system tends to be oversized to compensate for the most exposed zone, with unnecessary expense in the rest of the house as a result.

The installation is fully integrated into the home's architecture, with no visible units or ductwork disrupting the clean lines of the design, and with control that can be programmed by scene according to how each space is used.

Electrical

Private charging and an electrical installation to match the design

We install the electric vehicle charging point in the private garage in accordance with ITC-BT-52, integrated into the home's overall electrical project. In designer villas that include induction cooking, full climate control and advanced home automation, we calculate the actual power required and, where needed, arrange the electrical certificate that supports the whole installation.

Home automation becomes part of the design itself here: LED lighting scenes for every moment of the day, zoned climate control and centralised management of the whole home from a single system, in keeping with the rest of the architecture.

A common case in Soto de la Moraleja

In Soto de la Moraleja villas, it's common for the open-plan, heavily glazed living room to become the hardest room to keep at a stable temperature, dragging up consumption for the whole house if the system isn't zoned. The fix is almost never a bigger unit, but a smarter allocation of climate-control zones.

Electrical backup (UPS or generator) in chalets with high electrical dependence

Cause: Home automation, security systems and other critical equipment in the chalet depend entirely on the mains supply, with no backup system for a power cut.
Effect: Even a brief power cut resets home automation scenes and leaves the home's security and communications systems without cover.
Prevention: Identify the home's critical circuits (home automation, security, communications) and fit them with a UPS or generator sized to their actual load.
ANNA's diagnosis: ANNA identifies the chalet's critical circuits and sizes the appropriate electrical backup system as part of the technical project.
