ermitage
Pondrôme - 2021
Construction of a hermitage along a small, isolated grove. It is designed in parts to be transported and assembled on site with minimal tools.
This participative project was carried out with scouts and friends. Most of the materials were reclaimed: windows, doors, sheep’s wool, sheet metal, panels, sawmill off-cuts, beams and stones. Only the bakelised panels were purchased to create a sober façade that lets each material express itself.
