The Pavillon de Yoga is located in a wine-growing and vast wooded garden in Meursault. Dry stone walls and majestic oak, ash, and beech trees are what forms the rich environment of the project.

The architecture takes in use the main material of the site, wood, and pushes the use of this noble material from the structure to the finishes to offer a 100% wooden architecture project.

The architectural composition, inspired by the vineyard hut, is intended to be simple, sober, and open to the lush wooden. It is covered by a dark aged wood railing on the outside, while the interior wood finishes are kept in light and natural tones to inspire the ambiance of yoga. The architecture is like the program: frugal and minimalist.

The pavilion includes a yoga room, which can also be used for other activities, as well as a changing area, a bathroom, and integrated wooden storage.

On sunny days, the large glass façade slides completely up into the garden and lets nature into the heart of the pavilion. The covered room can then extend out to the terrace and into the garden, giving incentive to perform the practice of yoga outdoors in harmony with nature.
