Watch Video of A short tour of the award-winning Villa Alcuzcuz The award-winning Villa Alcuzcuz, designed by UDesign and developed by Bright, is Marbella’s first luxury house designed and built under Passive House regulations and standards. Passive House is the world’s leading standard in energy efficient construction guaranteeing more than 75% saving on energy costs compared to a standard build.

Shockingly, buildings are responsible for up to 39% of the pollution in our cities, compared to only 13% that comes from car emissions. A house built under normal regulations has a high carbon footprint and uses huge amounts of energy for heating or cooling. Sustainable architecture is a critical factor to achieving sustainable living.

In addition to the Passive House building envelope, combining excellent insulation with high performance windows and doors, Villa Alcuzcuz uses a heat recovery ventilation system and solar panels for the hot water supply.

It is also designed to fit perfectly to its south-facing plot. The terraces are designed as projected “sunbrellas” giving shade inside yet allowing the heat to enter in the winter.

Villa Alcuzcuz also stands out for having exquisite design that is arranged around a large central glass living space (with windows 6.5m high, something unprecedented in this type of construction) with privileged views of the Mediterranean Sea and Africa beyond.

Villa Alcuzcuz has won two major architectural awards at the recent International Property Awards – "Best Architecture Single Residence, Spain” and “Best Architecture Single Residence, Europe”. Masterfully combining sheer luxury with sustainability, this is a villa that, quite simply, has it all.
