Stuck for what to do with your timber or old tarpaulin lying around the garden? In western France, dynamic architects Fréderic Tabary, Yann Falquerh and 150 volunteers have embarked on a crazy project to build a house out of scrap and waste.

French photographer Anne-Lore Mesnage followed the construction which will be inhabitable from 2 December 2010
