RSHP has created an art space in southern France to afford artistic expression and expansive views.

The project is situated on the top of a hill overlooking vineyards in the sunny Provençal countryside. It is an elegantly handcrafted piece of architecture and engineering that soars out dramatically into the canopy of the trees to ‘capture the view’ of the mountains of the Luberon.

A cantilevered construction, it was designed as a floating space leading the visitor to the view. The external structure, in contrast with the neutral gallery space, is enhanced by its bold orange colour specifically chosen both to complement, but also to contrast with, the surrounding seasonal landscape.

This project has been longlisted in the small building category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
