'one where tees lives' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'zulu occupies home rebuilt in cape' is the wordplay.
'zulu' becomes 'Z' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'occupies' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters occupy or enter the word).
'rebuilt' is an anagram indicator.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'cape' becomes 'ci' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'home' anagrammed gives 'hemo'.
'z' going within 'hemo' is 'hezmo'.
'hezmo' inserted within 'ci' is 'CHEZ MOI'.

Can you help me to learn more?
