This project is a renovation and expansion of a small working-ruined house of two rooms. In this ruin, three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a closet were annexed. The willingness to share knowledge is part of the dynamics of the project of the future inhabitants, but also to all who have contributed. The two years of work finally excite the self-builders to ‘Recycling’ ‘which now cease to function with a maximum of materials gleaned in the field of the abundance of discarded resources.
