GCP Wood Cabins Hotel designed by Atelier LAVIT, The Eco-hotel is located in a fishing reserve in Avignon, France. The 10 suites evoke primitive buildings on the shore of the lake; floating on the water like rafts or on pilots like palafittes. The architectural work perfectly matches with the lacustrine tubes from which it resumes and rationalizes the elegant vertical thrust. The different densities of the vertical wooden screens around the hut guarantee the privacy of its customers as well as repairing them from the sun and the wind.

Clients have envisioned this eco-lodge project choosing as a location an incredible fishing reserve in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a few kilometers away from Avignon.
10 suites, simple but sophisticated, reminding of primitive constructions in lake reeds: floating on the water like rafts, on pilotis along the banks like real palafitte or underground, like a troglodyte dwelling, the eco-lodges of the Grands Cépages rise along the lake of La Lionne, always preserving the privacy of the inhabitants.
