Tarifa is open to sustainable architecture !

8 km from Tarifa ,mythical spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing , on the hills overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, there is an urbanization, El Cuarton, only area where one can legally build because the land is urban , there, one can see intelligent houses made of natural materials, renewable energy and thermal energy and solar .
When a person wants to build a friendly home environment , the best is to contact professionals who will guide you towards sustainable architecture . This word is new but it means a lot to anyone who wishes to use the resources of the region , save on materials , integrate the building with the surrounding nature and to promote energy efficiency , use the bioclimatic architecture that saves energy up to 40% !!

There is much talk the adobe that has a low cost , is completely natural , you use the clay of the area and straw . The adobe walls, retain heat , maintain a constant internal temperature .
Is it a dream to want a self sufficient house ? or at least get close to this maximum cost savings in construction and then to spend the minimum in water and electricity ?
Apparently it is getting easier every day to reach this dream , this house eco-sustainable .
You have to worry where the materials come from , if they are recycled, if the transport increases the costs etc…
This House was built in El Cuarton thinking about all this and the result is fantastic ! they also took advantage of the wonderful views of the Strait of Gibraltar !
