Guest House Les Grands Chênes / Sapiens Architectes

In the village of Valojoulx, in the southwest of France, Sapiens architectes has just completed a stone, wood, and glass "cabanon" nestled in the oak forest. The order was simple: a reception house, sometimes for guests (high season), sometimes for artists in residence (low season). Inserted in the slope, the building plants its powerful gables in local stone to the east and west and unfolds large glass surfaces towards the forest, sectioned with wooden mullions.
