🏡 House

It was a few years after moving to France when we started looking for land to build a house in France. Now, the house is a home and we are settled.

These videos follow us as we endeavoured to understand and navigate the building of a home in a foreign country. This was our space to record that process (for ourselves) and to share it with friends and family across the world.

5.0.1 – Up, up, up

The house is progressing so quickly that every visit offers an exciting surprise. For this site visit we got to go upstairs and look around for the first time.

5.0 – First Time Upstairs

The first floor has appeared. For the first time we got to see the views from our windows. This was only our fifth meeting with builder on-site.

4.2.1 – An Enclosed Space

Our latest visit to the house was just for fun. There was no meeting with the project manager, we just wanted to see it.

4.2 – Suddenly a Ceiling Appears

We visited the building site by ourselves and discovered a ceiling has been added to the basement. We expected concrete supports but not the floor slab to have been poured.
