The project to expand a recently acquired 1970s house began in July 2010 and was completed in the autumn of 2012.  In buying this house in BADEN, the owners wanted to adapt to a new life in the Morbihan by converting an existing dwelling into an energy efficient home using ecological building materials.  Close to the sea and an ideal base for sailing, the house was originally intended to be a holiday home.
