Respectful Choices
of Nature
I built this house with enthusiasm and rigor.
Attention to detail allowed me to complete this in two years.
I am proud to offer people who care about the values of life a house that respects nature and the people who live there.
An Ecological Construction
The house is built entirely of wood (Douglas pine) from a forest around thirty kilometers upstream from the Lot.
The insulation of the walls and roof is made of wood wool.
An old cast iron Godin wood stove that burns wood from the small oak trees that I cut down when I was digging.
The pool is largely filled with water from the rainwater recovery tank.
The water is treated with hydrogen peroxide H2O2 and chlorine in very small quantities.
A big thank you to Habitation Autonome and La Maison Eco-Naturelle for their great help, advice and quality products !
Our Daily Practices
All the products used on a daily basis are biodegradable, we choose them carefully for their quality: soaps, shampoos, toothpastes, laundry detergent or dishwasher tablets are as environmentally friendly as possible.
We naturally chose to use a small kitchen composter for organic waste.
Composting allows us to transform the organic matter thus collected into humus before returning it to the soil.
The outdoor composter is located close to the house.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to all the friends and family who have come to lend me a hand since the beginning of this wonderful Adventure , and who have contributed to making Lalalandes so extraordinary!
