The concepts of “Botanical Architecture” and “Small Size Architecture” have guided this tourist village project for the Longen winery, situated in the Moselle Valley. In a short time and at low cost, thanks to the prefabricated wooden structure, little independent cottages with slate cladding have sprung up at the foot of the vineyards and right in the middle of an orchard. Resembling the traditional refuges in the vineyards, the little house-rooms, complete with private bathrooms, offer direct contact with nature and invite guests to enjoy their garden by cultivating it themselves.
