Impressive Stone House in Croatia

Stone houses are so appreciated because they have one of the most important qualities: that of moderating temperature. The house in the picture is not only a beautiful stone house, but also one using the passive solar technique, which is a way to warm houses by using bigger windows facing south. Thus, widening window openings facing the sun get the maximum of heat. Besides these essential aspects, that of great use of passive solar and thermal mass, the old stone house provides the most spectacular view over the Adriatic Sea in Croatia.
