Bioclimatic prestigious villas

The bioclimatic architecture of our villas takes advantage of the environment, climate and constraints of the site to offer optimal comfort to the residents, in a natural and passive way.

The layout of the villas is carefully designed to maximise natural ventilation and optimise cooling. The orientation of the villas according to the wind helps to cool the interior of the houses, while the roofs and varangues (solar protection) limit the overheating of the building.

Our villas are designed to work in harmony with their environment, minimising their impact on the local ecosystem. In this way, they offer a sustainable lifestyle that respects nature.

Jiva Santosha is committed to eco-construction, favouring the use of natural, bio-sourced materials with a low carbon footprint and good energy performance. Wood, which is abundant in our bioclimatic villas, is a perfect example.

Each material is carefully selected for its efficiency and environmental impact, both during the construction phase and at the end of its life.

In this way, we create buildings that are sustainable and respectful of the environment.

Each of our bioclimatic villas is designed to be as self-sufficient in water and electricity as possible, making the most of available natural resources.

This approach minimises the carbon footprint and ensures that the villas are self-sufficient in the event of power cuts or water shortages.

Solar panels coupled with high-performance batteries meet the energy needs of the properties, while rainwater collection and storage systems ensure that the gardens are irrigated.

Thanks to optimal orientation, high-performance insulating materials and shade provided by planted areas, our bioclimatic villas reduce their dependence on energy-guzzling devices such as heating, air conditioning and lighting.

Installing high-performance energy-efficient equipment also helps to limit consumption while ensuring optimum comfort.

At the same time, rainwater harvesting and gray water recycling in our villas help to preserve the water resources of our beautiful island.

Biodiversity plays a major role in mitigating climate change, particularly by strengthening the resilience of ecosystems. This is why we are preserving the endemic species present on the site.

Existing vegetation is maintained and enriched by the planting of new species to provide shade and thermal comfort for the homes.

What's more, Jiva Santosha enjoys a privileged location in the immediate vicinity of the Black River Nature Park and the Chamarel National Park, two protected areas that contribute to the preservation of biodiversity in Mauritius.
