Founded in 1150, this former Carthusian monastery now functions as a meeting place that yet continues the old spirit. It includes a training and conference centre, a rural estate, and cultural facilities. The lower guesthouse is being given more of the convenience of the upper guest house, a hotel. Space has been created for a large hall with an open staircase. Light bounces off red and turquoise surfaces, reflecting onto the white ceilings and walls. The guest rooms have been decorated in white. A wooden block in the centre of the room contains the shower, WC and wardrobe, dividing the room into zones. This generates a sense of peace, recreating the concentration and loneliness of the Carthusians.
