Eco-friendly

The Environmentally Friendly Systems:

Bore Hole
Deep, yet narrow wells go down to the sub aqua water table, some 60+ metres down. The hole is tightly sealed with a series of filters so as to prevent any contamination. The water is pumped to the surface and stored in large water tanks, from where it can be used for water services.

Environmental Landscape Planning
It is clearly vital for all developments to be landscaped with the conservation and collection of water in mind. To allow the soil to re-claim the natural water supply is common sense. By ensuring that no land is concreted over, there is no prevention of the rainwater reaching the water table when the rain falls on the land. A variety of stunning surfaces have been used to do just this, including white seashells and sand.

Brown Water Filtration and Soakaways
This system prevents water wastage by re-using brown water from showers, sinks and toilets. Filtered out of the utilities into pipes and drip systems, the water is used on surrounding trees and plants. This ensures that there is ample water supply all year round. Any water not used by the plants will be filtered back down to the water table.

Solar Power Energy
Solar energy is the most environmentally friendly way to generate electricity. Capturing the sun's energy by using solar panels and converting 24v power by way of inverters from battery banks to run the 220v requirements of the villa provides virtually all the energy necessary to run a home. An inverter acts as the on board computer system for the power supply to the property. It tells the batteries when to work independently from the solar panels. Back up silenced generators are also on site.
