From the architect. About Refuges Périurbains: The fringes of Bordeaux remain relatively unknown. As is common to this periphery in most cities, these areas are often overlooked, experienced from afar by car rather than as destinations in their own right. Bridging city and wilderness, peripheral urban sites also o er their own magic and potential. The Refuges Periurbains project encourages the exploration of Bordeaux’s fringe sites by creating a network of stay-over shelters on the edge of the city. Each shelter accommodates up to 9 people and is free to stay in.
关于Le HautPerché：Le HautPerché酒店位于林地和溪流之间，静静地坐落在波尔多Jalle山顶上。这里十分宁静，让人迷失在Le Parc des Jalles山脉的美景之中，人们要抵达这里只能通过一条山间小径。Le HautPerché酒店坐落在水磨坊Le Moulin du Moulinat之间，这里是波尔多的主要生活水源，水源养育了整座城市的人民。该庇护所由木材和耐候钢组成，其材料和形式参考了传统的水塔模式。庇护所好似伸出一个细长的脖子在俯视着周围。从拱形平台上人们能够清晰地听到水声，也能欣赏到美丽的林地景观。每个开放的区域都能构成一个特定的场景，人们在这里或站或躺，十分惬意。
About Le Haut Perché: Situated amidst woodland and streams, Le Haut Perché sits quietly atop a Bordeaux Jalle. The site is peaceful, lost in the heart of Le Parc des Jalles. It is accessed by a singular path that goes no further. Le Haut Perché sits amongst watermills Le Moulin du Moulinat, collectively perched over one of Bordeaux’s main water sources. Here, water is extracted to serve the city. Comprised of timber and weathering steel, the shelter references the traditional water tower through its materiality and form. The refuge rests atop a slender neck peering over its Jalle. The arching platform captures focused sounds and vistas of water and woodland. Each opening is composed to frame a particular moment, some to be experienced lying down, others stood or sat-up.
