03.07.2008

There is already a "green" house in Bulgaria, built entirely of ecological materials. The house is located near the Durankulashko lake. This was announced by “Cedar Houses” Ltd, which is the official representative of ‘Lindal Cedar Homes’.
The eco house has been constructed according to design and technology of the USA company "Lindal". It has been by red cedar – wood species, which is can be found only in the region of the Pacific Ocean coast of USA and Canada.
This material contributes to the considerable reduce of energy consumption because it preserves the heat and that’s why it has one of highest classes for energetic efficiency.
The built in Durankulak house won’t be sold or used as a hotel – it’s purpose is demonstrative, was specified from "Cedar Homes”.
The advantage of the new building technology is the fact that it is natural and at the same time offers luxury.
The price of the new type of construction is two times higher than the cost of the conventional. According to rough data the building of a cedar house would cost about 900 euro per sq.m.
The cedar houses offer a new vision for development of protected territories of environmental value. They also meet the normative requirements of the legislation.
Due to this reason the first demonstrative building is situated in a protected area – Durankulashko lake has been a protected area since 1983.
