Wood, wood… what did you say, wood?

I'll let you guess the theme of the article...
Yes, we're going to talk about wooden houses again. I know there's a lot to say about eco-friendly housing, but I have to tell you a secret: I quickly watched "L'Amour est dans le Pré" (Farmer Wants a Wife) and saw that one of the farmers had a wooden house. I think there's something there!

First, the biggest trend is "TreeHouses" (treehouse, in case you're not fluent), and I'm setting the bar very high by showing you the largest treehouse in the world, built entirely from recycled materials, with wood not sourced from a forest. Let me explain: Horace collected wood from barns, abandoned houses, driftwood... In short, this house (because yes, it's still a house) is completely ecological... It's a style, it makes me think of an image straight out of an imaginary world... but no, it's real... crazy, right?

Next, I'm taking you to Tasmania (OK, we'll talk about the carbon footprint later), and I can tell you we're stepping it up a notch... Located by the sea, the owners really wanted to blend in with the environment, and I think they succeeded!

Otherwise, there's a book that's caught my eye, Maisons de Bois (Wooden Houses). If the publisher would offer it to me, I'd give it the best review in the world, or if you have it and want to lend it to me, then welcome :)
