Building Sustainable Lodging

Anne and Jean focus on preserving the natural beauty of their site by adapting to its conditions. They avoid removing trees and emphasize the significance of baobabs, which thrive without disturbance. To maintain the ecosystem, they plant local flora and design eco-friendly lodgings with minimal environmental impact. Tree houses are built on stilts for privacy and safety, using coconut rope and tiles for sustainable construction. Energy conservation is prioritized, with solar panels powering simple amenities.
