One house, a thousand projects
Make. Learn. Share.
Before becoming our home, the Villa housed the Vic-sur-Seille post office. Since 2022, we have been giving it a new life, one project at a time.
I’m Franck, a former construction site supervisor. Timber, reuse, insulation and interiors: I share my techniques, my choices and what I learn by doing.

Projects to explore.
