PTo find the house that we are going to visit in Temploux, nothing could be simpler: you just need to find your way by its transparent “bell tower” which houses a wind turbine with an original – not to say artistic – shape. The rest of the house visible from the street is just as surprising since its tower and its volume, modeled on the barn opposite, give it the air of a small castle, while its wooden cladding, its windows and its facades irregular rather reminiscent of an elf’s house. It is in fact organic architecture, a movement which is inspired by nature and seeks to best integrate human habitat into its environment.
Our gaze also stops on a few unusual details, such as the curved handles of the frames and, above all, the different wooden structures which adorn the ceilings. The one in the living room took Hubert Sauvage fifteen days of work, which did not discourage him since he made another ornament in the small corridor leading to the games room last winter.
