AGATHE

Between golden waves and green stretches of land, the path ascending through the vines allows you to view, from afar and behind the wine press, the lodge against the hillsides at the foot of a large, green open space, following the rhythm of the winemaker’s work. A red wall symbolizing a hyphen, the emblem of the winery, introduces itself to passers-by and invited guests, exciting their curiosity. Once in the lodge, they are immersed in the vines, admiring the landforms that are displayed to them within a simple, airy and purified architecture. This was the original idea of the project, bringing a touch of elegance, so dear to the Champagne winery.The lodge is comprised of three sliding planes, guiding one’s sight over the vineyard: a wooden floor, a roof, and a wall. The structure made of four upside-down beams, contains the boxes that make up the structures. The vertical plane, a beacon in the landscape, is entirely red. It highlights the lodge with its flickering light, created by repurposed oak slats, painted with a natural paint.

The totally red vertical plane acts as a signal in the landscape: painted according to an all-natural recipe, it magnifies the lodge with its light play and represents the link with the company.
