Homes designed for a hot, dry, beautiful island.
Sustainability, for us, is the boring version: better insulation, smarter orientation, quieter mechanicals, native plants. Nothing performative — just decisions that lower a family's bills for the next thirty years.
Sustainability, the boring version.
No performance, no badges. Better orientation, thicker insulation, quieter mechanicals and planting that belongs to this island — decisions taken once, at design stage, that keep paying a family back for thirty years.
Designed once, lived in for decades
Shade, cross-ventilation and thermal mass are set before the façade, because they are the only parts of a house nobody can retrofit cheaply.
Local materials
Spacious homes on affordable land, embracing local materials for sustainability — the founder's brief, written into every specification since.
Gardens that belong here
Olive, carob, rosemary and lavender on drip irrigation. Sotira's climate rewards restraint, so gardens mature into the landscape instead of fighting it.
“More land is more life — a garden, a pool, children playing, friends around a table.”
Energy
Every home is designed to energy class A: external insulation beyond code, low-E double glazing, heat pumps for hot water and climate, and roofs sized for future PV without retrofit.
Water
Low-flow fixtures throughout, greywater-ready plumbing stubs, and drip-irrigation in the garden. Sotira's climate rewards restraint.
Landscape
Native and drought-tolerant planting — olive, carob, rosemary, lavender — so gardens mature into the local landscape instead of fighting it.
Materials
European specifications with long-life warranties. Structural over-spec means fewer repairs, less replacement, less embodied carbon over a home's real lifetime.
Site
One development at a time. Waste sorted and recycled. Neighbours are treated as neighbours, not as tolerance for noise.
