Refuge d'Art "La Ferme Belon"

“The ground floor has few windows and a low ceiling. The darkness will be pierced by intense rays of light. This is the ideal atmosphere for building white stone arches: they will appear like architectural ghosts and their number must be sufficient to communicate to the room an impression of movement and circulation.
The stone will be the same as the Sentinels. White, alive, in the light and space of the building. I like the idea of ​​the Sentinels being lookouts for the arches.
