Les Arches immediately captures attention through a thoughtful interplay of form and function, where structural elements like its five stone arches — which are reminiscent of European monastic and bridge architecture — serve as both aesthetic anchors and symbolic connections to history. The weathered silver wood-clad exterior, on the other hand, mimics the region’s rural barns — a move that ensures the structure appears organically rooted in its environment. Sustainable features, such as heat-retaining cobblestone floors and earth-embedded walls, underscore a commitment to ecological sensitivity.
Meanwhile, Les Arches’ interior unfolds across seven levels, with a central staircase guiding occupants through spaces that prioritize privacy, natural light, and passive climate control.
