The concept of zero energy consumption without sacrificing maximum comfort is the challenge of Villa OAK. It integrates nature and open spaces in a design and luxury home, aiming to practically eliminate environmental impact. The house uses renewable energy to supply all its needs, making it an energy self-sufficient villa. All these economic and environmental benefits do not detract from the aesthetics and luxury of the villa.
