Goruni House
A Contemporary, Eco-Conscious Home Immersed in Nature
This bespoke three-bedroom residence is crafted to celebrate space, light, and the beauty of its natural surroundings. Positioned on a generous plot overlooking rolling hills, flourishing vineyards, and a mature orchard, the home offers uninterrupted vistas that shift gracefully with the seasons.
Designed to Passivhaus principles, the house combines architectural elegance with environmental performance. High levels of thermal insulation, triple-glazed openings, and discreetly integrated photovoltaic panels work together to ensure exceptional comfort, energy efficiency, and year-round sustainability.
At the heart of the home are two dramatic double-height spaces rising above the living and dining rooms. These volumes, paired with generous rooflights, fill the interior with abundant natural light and create a calming sense of openness. The design is further enriched by a series of thoughtfully positioned pergolas, providing shaded outdoor living areas that blur the boundaries between interior and landscape. An additional green roof over the annex enhances biodiversity, improves insulation, and nestles the structure more gently into its rural setting.
The result is a modern sanctuary that feels both intimate and expansive—an eco-conscious home that harmonises contemporary living with the tranquillity of the countryside.
