The Aquila Observatory houses are located on the mid and lower slopes of Sky Village, adjoining the Auriga houses and close to the Visitor Centre.

 

Approximately 55 Sq mtrs in floor size, sleeping up to 4 people, the houses are designed around an open plan lifestyle, with kitchen, dining and living areas flowing directly onto large South-facing balconies.

 

Aquila houses are the smallest houses at Sky Village BG to benefit from an integral observatory.  Ideal for individuals, couples or small families, they offer the perfect balance of price and convenience for all types of visitor.

 

The Sky Village houses are ‘dark by design’, ensuring the comfort of the occupants (and their ability to relax and enjoy their surroundings) whilst preventing stray light from affecting the sky or the views.

The integral observatory of each house, measuring approximately 2.8 x 3.0m, features a large roll-off roof, and is positioned on a thermally isolated mezzanine floor level. (not available on Lyra and Auriga properties).

 

Internal décor, with an emphasis on natural wood, is designed to create comfort on both hot summer days and cold winter nights. 

 

En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom complete the luxury Sky Village specification. Our ‘dark by design’ rationale ensures zero upward light leakage, keeping observing areas dark whilst allowing other house occupants to enjoy considerate and plentiful interior lighting.

 

All observatory houses are built to exacting internal and external standards, guaranteeing both longevity and efficiency. 

 

Materials have been carefully chosen too: minimal thermal mass and an airtight building envelope ensure both comfort and the complete absence of heat plumes that would affect observations made from the thermally isolated rooftop observatories.
