said “The location is splendid There’s a canal, a river and trees. Inserting
the building into this plot is fascinating. And of course, water is so

respected and is an element of identity.”
Thoughtful nods
to the local architecture are found in the copper used on the dome, echoing
copper-clad structures in the old city, and the material used for the walls,
the beautiful regional stone (grès des vosges). The interior has a soft, diffused
light, coming from windows hidden behind intricate calligraphy.
