Eco-friendly - a healthy interest  - not an unhealthy obsession

The source of general building and constructional materials for all of the
properties will be from local suppliers in Bulgaria. All materials used
will meet specification levels of official guidelines. Natural materials used
in the construction of the properties will be individually monitored and
logged. Should in the future any conflict in law that may be contended
regarding building material specification/certification occur, non
specified natural materials can be individually identified.

building foundations in bulgaria

Foundations of each cottage and farmhouse is subject to individual
geological testing. Final positioning of each property will be determined
by the level of excavation difficulty, minimum disruption to natural top
soil and zero damage to existing trees.

stonework on traditional cottages in bulgaria

Constructional stonework will be delivered to site from local quarries.
Final finishing and shaping of stone work will take place on site at point
of use by Bulgarian craftsmen.

timber building in bulgaria

All timber used in construction will be from sustainable sources. Timber
used for landscaping and external construction will be treated to required
specification to meet building regulations. However timber that is used
for non constructional methods will be from a natural source.

insulated property in bulgaria

All properties will be insulated on all elevation and within the roofing
space. Regulation, and high specification insulation will be used in
preference to traditional natural material of straw, for example.

traditional roofing materials

Roof coverings will be a mixture of reclaimed roof plates*, new
manufacture roofing tiles and reclaimed roof tiles. This mixture of
styles will match perfectly with surrounding villages that have
evolved over a much longer period of time where favoured materials
have dictated the character of each property.

*in addition to reclaimed roof plates, Malkoto~selo is developing a
manufactured alternative to the traditional roof plates as long
term reclamation has a damaging effect on the long term supply of
these hand crafted roofing plates.

water, electric, sewerage services in bulgaria

All underground services providing water, electric and sewerage will
create a minimum disturbance to the natural landscape within the
development plot.

Water is sourced from the on-site purpose built drinking water supply.
This supply of water will be the only supply to all of the properties.
Licensed and taxed by the water authorities in Bulgaria this private
supply is subject to all the normal regulations regarding supply rights,
quality, and usage control through metering.

ground reinstatement for houses

It is the principle of the Malkoto~selo development to reinstate
the maximum percentage of land/soil on the development. Top soil
removed from the foundations and from excavation of swimming
pools will be stocked and re-positioned either to the exact location
or will be used to enhance landscaping in gardens, the community
areas and walkways that will be created. Under surface rock
formations that are exposed will be repositioned and used in the
creation of the naturally landscaped gardens and also in the use
of internal decorative construction of the properties.
