With the need for sustainable developments on a rise, architects are envisioning developments that are as great for the environment as they are for people. Mi5 Architects have unveiled a unique project for Izola, the sunniest place in Slovenia, which will merge a tourist resort with a “solar orchard”.
The plan is to combine a typical Mediterranean landscape with a solar garden where all excess energy will be used for leisure activities which can benefit from it. The arrangement according to the designers could be called “Solar Hedonism”, a state where the individuals can enjoy various systems using the clean energy of the sun. The new silhouette of this landscape depicts the characteristics of a PV plant and also responds to the necessity of habitable units, with modified interiors to ensure that the surface which receives the sun is double to that of a standard apartment to maximize energy generation.
