The boathouse is the 1st phase of a large cultural complex dedicated to the history of the “Canal de Bourgogne” that also includes a small museum. It has been conceived as a paper tube structure and shelters an old boat an old tugboat which was used to tow the boats along the canal. It is open at each end, allowing visitors to access the structure from either direction.
The small museum is a place for viewing exhibitions and holding pedagogical activities. Its building is a transparent glass box, open to the surrounding landscape. Its structure relies on light metallic shelf angles used throughout the building, thus providing flexible partitions and display in the exhibition area.
The boathouse and the museum are located near each other in a rural area, on the border of the canal where it forms a pool.

ここでは「家具の家」のアイデアをもとに収納ユニットをメインの構造部材としている。各ユニットはどこででも手に入る既製品のパンチングスチールのシェルフアングルでつくられ、これは同時に展示スペース内のディスプレイユニット、収納キャビネット、およびウォールパーティションといったさまざまな機能的役割を果たしている。
