Description
We are a Dutch family aiming to turn 3 traditional 120 year old fisher man's houses to sustainable zero energy buildings. Stay with us and while learning what it means to renovate and modernize such old buildings. It is a discovery for our selves. The buildings need reconstruction, isolation, solar panels and solar heating. We focus on the usage of sustainable materials like loam and hemp fibers.
Our family consists of 4. 2 parents and a seven year old and a four year old. Together we balance work and joy, appreciating the little things in life. Emmy is leading the built, André is supporting the built next to his job. Anne and Mart are going to the Steiner school and enjoy the beach. They love to help, interact and play.
We will start our reconstruction the 16th of July 2018 and we are looking for people to help. We appreciate if you can stay for a week or longer.
