Conference Room at The Moulin De La Forge in Vexin, France by Bernard Desmoulin ArchitecteJune 28th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Bernard Desmoulin Architecte The architect’s statement This little wooden building is seemingly more a line on a strech of water than an architectural structure. Located on a lake, in the french region of the Vexin, this conference room becomes part of the majesty of this place of peace, harmony and calmness. Its shape reminds of timeless vernacular architecture, using the familiar language of a fisherman’s house on slits. Just like the choice of the materials.

Among his numerous references, many were tailored for art, thus creating a contemporary identity within remarkable sites: The restructuration of the Arts Décoratifs Museum in the Palais du Louvre, the Cluny Abbey, Casa de Francia in Mexico City, the Cluny Museum in Paris…  Image Courtesy © Bernard Desmoulin Architecte  Image Courtesy © Bernard Desmoulin Architecte His thought relies essentially on the search for an architecture in perfect unison with the sites. Far from useless digressions, his answers to environmental questions are expressed through a writing made of lasting materialities. His wish to satisfy timeless demands – poetry and well-being – allows him to reconcile Innovation with Familiarity. It is with this idea in mind that he designed the new space for the Moulin de la Forge Group. Its harmony with the domain’s identity and the surrounding heritage sites is remarkable.

The bay windows and their view on the big pontoon overlooking the pond contribute to the creation of a productive and peaceful working atmosphere. The Moulin de la Forge is one of three domains entirely dedicated to company seminars: the Moulin de la Forge, the Manoir des Brumes and the Domaine de Rebetz located in the Oise department.
