The project is a garden museum located in southern France, featuring outdoor sculptures and pavilions throughout a 190-hectare winery. The central Art Center facility is characterized by a 4,000 square meter reflecting pond that doubles as a parking space. The building is a wedge-shaped structure made of concrete and glass, containing an information center, gallery, and café. It serves as a welcoming gate for visitors to the site.
