Benjamin Van den Eede Is the founder of La maison BV. Originally from Brussels, he left Europe in 2015 for Canada. He invented a new construction system called the BV cube. This system makes it possible to deliver kit houses throughout the world while respecting superior quality and the ecology of tomorrow.
