Infrastructure & Services
Solar Energy
Every house carries its own solar panels, sized against its own design.
Â
The lots were laid out on open, level ground with the roof planes facing south, so the array has something to work with before a single line of the house is drawn.
Potable Water
A solar-powered filtration and treatment plant is housed within the utility and maintenance building.
Â
This system provides clean, potable water to every residence on the site, ensuring a reliable and sustainable water supply.
Gated Security
A staffed guard house at the entry point provides a secure perimeter.
​
The site is designed with a single access road and a row of parking bays, ensuring that vehicles never enter the central body of the estate.
Nature Leads
The trees came first and the lines were drawn around them. Our commitment to the natural environment is the foundation of Rancho Sosiego
Â
39 standing trees by species (Parota, capomo, amapá, guamúchil, tabachÃn, bonete and habillo) have been surveyed and preserved. More than fifty have been planted since the survey.
