habitants atypiques, unusual builders


Alexa Brunet

They live in the countryside away from the busy paths. Their personal involvment led them to live differently away from the big cities. Thus they turned into improvised builders, either by themselves, with their family or with a group of people. They want a simple and healthy home, to live in the wild and in trees, on rivers or underground. Their charming and inventive « constructions » propose other ways of thinking and living. Part of a global process, the conception of their home fullfills everyday needs : to get fed, heated, dressed, and to move around in a respectful way of the environnement. They are straightened by their awareness, full of energy and new ideas. In their choices, being involved means acting. In order to respect their believes they have to break the rules ; To be citizen and responsable involves following the alternatives ways of selfmaking and to reject modern society’s order. Their houses are like them : original and rebel. They wish to share their experience : thanks to those previously isolated moves a new type of countryside house building network appears. Their choices force us to question our contemporary way of life and remind us that it is possible to live differently in the countryside. From mouth to ear, we meet them around France and share the eveyday life of those atypical inhabitants. Irène Brunet

The Galthazor home is ventriloquist. From the end of the street, I can hear a happy cacophony. In the hall I am approached by a chest of unhappy drawers. Each one tells me about their previous lives. One dated a piston engine, another was friends with a mossy tree and yet another one went to prison. The drawers’ tales unravel like ribbon on to the floor at my feet. I turn round and come face to face with a schizophrenic sofa who can’t decide between its rusty love and a crush on terra cotta. I go back out into the fresh air, feeling slightly giddy. The whole Galthazor family is there, stern to the wind in a dome with a bright horizon ahead. Two watering cans flirt with the lawn. ‘Got mit uns !’ shouts one laughing its head off. This is Claude and Véronique's studio-house, (wood, concrete, glass,cement, metal), Wimenau, Alsace.

A long time ago the Loms, and their house, (which goes with them from time to time) landed in a field. Sadly they didn’t know that i twas a magnetic field that just looked like an ordinary field. From that day on, the Loms are magnetic. Try as they might, then cannot come unstuck, however hard they try, and are inseparable.

It welcomes the next person without worrying about the one after that. Whether he shows his colourful credentials or not. Here everyone can make a hole for themselves. A tiny one, an enormous one, stringy, coloured or aerial. ‘There’s room, there’s room’ he keeps saying. If the cute Bogobal hands you a pickaxe, he is inviting you to dance the cave dance. It is danced like a square dance, with a pickaxe head on top. This is how the houses get dug in winter. In the summer, the Bogobal would rather be oustide singing or playing hide-and-seek in the smaller caves. Troglodyte dwelling in Anjou.

‘Come and join us, we’re talking about a chlorophyll revolution, my friend and I’. The Rabamane perched on his roof invites me to come and join a lively discussion with a young pine tree. Each family has a tree growing up the middle of it. Trees are Rabamane aerials. Their roots mingle with hundreds of others underground to insure a world-wide connection. Rabamane live above reason as their houses are on stilts. In living memory a Rabamane has never given up a tree. No-one knows what would happen if they did.

Like a snail the Loup Rottier goes everywhere with its house. There are lots of tiny objects in it that make up everyday life : plastic bowl, baby, washing machine for all family washing. You musn’t muddle up the Loup Rottier with its cousin the Loup Routtier however, which travels long distances and rarely stops. I was lucky enough to meet this family down by a river. A fantastic opportunity as the Loup are an endangered species. There are only a few left in the wild. An old horse-drawn circus caravan in the Aveyron.

The Asparite lives near the forest. He gets up at dawn and dives into piles of dead leaves. Once he is covered in humus, he stands up and becomes a tree until the middle of the afternoon. Then he combs his hair and gets into a circle with the rest of the tribe. Each Asparite then gets dressed up in various fabrics and puts on a complex perfume. He then merges with his neighbour until the whole tribe is a one big interwoven mass of subtle smells and mixed skin. A strange cry for joy rises into the sky. There are also musical notes in it. Once the day is over, their voice disappears into a giant yawn. The Asparites then fall alseep. In front of Edgar’s house in Brittany.

In Chauvelas land, the houses are dug out of white rock. The Chauvelas are as soft as the rock he uses. When a Chauvelas is born, he already had wrinkles and white hair. He keeps both until he dies and everything is buried with him. Chauvelas always die on their 30th birthday. On that day hi seye becomes a vast ocean and his soul floats away. The Chauvelas, who is by nature gentle and calm, sometimes goes into terrible tantrums, when he is angry. There are usually several reasons : a slug on his lettuce, or a word that was badly pronounced by someone. You have to be careful when you are with one. The day I visited one, I saw one of these tantrums. For obscure pyschological reasons, he went into a fit, going round in circles and with his face up to the sky. He then ran on the roof of his house where he hit and shook bamboo stalks that had planted for this very reason. Other Chauvelas would rather hide away in little earthen domes that they call ‘BBBrouuuissou’, only coming out when they have calmed down. The Chauvelas is a lone creature, likes to eat vegetables he has grown himself and likes national holidays. Prune ovens in a troglodyte site.

The Boun house has an indoor garden and dry portable toilets as they migrate without warning. Sometimes a Boun can want to leave his house and falls into a 60m drop, breaking a rib. As a joke, his house had landed on the roof of a block of flats in Stara Zagora in Bulgaria. It was several months before it would deign to go back to its original place. For a while now the Boun house has been more and more flighty. The Boun has written a list of everywhere it has landed in the past year : an underwater marine base in the Pacific, a peak in the Andes, and iceberg. It is easier for the Boun to have everything in its house so that it never goes without. Eric and Anne in their yurt in Anjou.

Here are a few of the Rabamane’s cousins. The tree that goes through the roof is a lime tree. The tree’s tongues come out at the bottom of its trunk. It is a very chatty tree that tells funny stories, or not. I was lucky enough to hear some of them. The Palabruze next to me accompanied the tree’s tales with a little string instrument he had built himself. When the tree is too chatty, his wife cuts his tongues off and they grow again in spring. The tree then starts rabbiting on in a hesitant way and gets more and more chatty as the season goes on. As I leave the Palabruze family the tree speaks to me in Hebrew, ‘I am multi-lingual’ he whispers proudly. Yvan in his conservatory with an ash tree growing through it in the Pyrenees.

When he was a baby he puts holes in his toys and nappies. Then he learnt how to dig, which is more refined. He dug everything he could lay his hands on : blackboards, the lime tree in the garden, sometimes his ears of the living room walls. Each time he dug and dug until everything was in shreds. People started getting angry and then he had nothing left to dig. One day he was given a bucket and spade to dig a well right to the centre of the earth, because one has to work and he needs to keep busy this poor boy ! This was the Tortuff’s limit and he said ‘no, I’m going to dig something beautiful’. He then dug and sculpted his house, with lots of curves. Concave and convex. So beautiful. It is therefore better to be a troglodyte than a simple digger. David’s troglodyte’s house in Anjou.
