Falcon Island | Paolo Colombo

The Falcon Island project is developed within an island of about 4 square kilometers on the coast of Ras Al Khaimah - UAE . and it is part of a bigger project, called the energy building project The project involves the design and construction of N ° 143 prestigious villas with high energy efficiency . The whole complex will be characterized by the implementation of high sustainability systems , both for the production of electricity as well as for the production of thermal energy. The villas will be built using systems that provide a partial prefabrication , performed by dedicated companies in protected environment thereby ensuring effective control of the quality of the implementation . The villas will be characterized by the use of sustainable materials and technical systems with low consumption and low maintenance. The island will be powered by electricity generated from a combination of centralized production , by means of a photovoltaic roof built on the access bridge to the island, and localized production by means of panels placed on the roofs of individual houses . The cooling of homes and public areas will be secured by a centralized system powered by solar energy and distributed through a system of district cooling.
