Dąbki Project: Log-timber Homes
About the project
In the middle of Pomerania on the Polish coast, we have discovered a beautiful place where we are now creating a small town of log homes, named “Valhalla”.
The housing estate is situated close to the beach, the holiday resort Dąbki and Lake Bukowo. We set ourselves the goal to create the most beautiful accommodation with a wellness and sports center. Our small town will include the following: a car park, security guard, playground and wellness center (swimming-pool, jacuzzi, sauna, spa, massage, etc.).
There are three kinds of the quality log homes, i.e. Gdańsk, Zakopane and Bali, all ready-made. The houses are owner-houses with adjoining plots.
You can move into your house now, and the recreation centre is scheduled to open in 2012.
