LE COQUILLAGE

LE COQUILLAGE

To discover the lodge, you have to follow L’Huis, one of the many hamlets of Le Breuil, walk through the village, follow the alleys and suddenly, you will discover the vineyards on one side and the green crown of the river, on the other side. The plot is located on a plateau overlooking the Surmelin River and offers a bird’s eye view of the end of the Marne Valley. The roof of the box is composed of slates, materials provided by the winemaker, that gives it a shell shape emerging from the vines.  It springs from the ground, in scales and curves cleverly designed to welcome visitors.

Before taking the name “Le Coquillage”, the lodge was conceived by the students as an “origami” installed above the hill.
