And so it is





And so it is that I find myself back on the island of my heart.
The place that's been calling me ever since I left.
Where the air smells like home.

A perfect place to reflect.
To rest.
To reconnect.

There's no place like home, they say.
And I can only agree.

The Orion-Hub - a low emission house.




It's a cool but also a slightly strange feeling.
Mum's house is famous!

I'm pretty sure that the text in the images is impossible to read even if you happen to speak French so let me give you the summary:

Mum built a new house. 
It's pretty darn amazing and fits perfectly in between our 4 treehouses and our natural swimming pool.
"Bioclimatique" means that because of the building techniques used the house is extremely energy efficient.

As I lived in this house during the entire summer of 2019 (including 2 heatwaves) I can witness that it stays nice and cool even during the hottest days without any airconditioning, which, according to our architect Bruno Bazire from Trihab, the most important feature any new house should have.




Thank you so much to Nice Matin for this article.
As you can imagine it makes my heart very proud that even Hector got to be in it. 
More images of the house can be found on Trihab's website.
