Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) has completed the Richard Rogers’ Drawing Gallery, the final project Rogers began before his retirement from practice last year. The gallery is located in the vineyards of Château La Coste, a 500-acre rural wine estate in southern France. Harnessing bridge-like engineering, the project cantilevers 18m off a hillside, overlooking the Luberon National Park. With a boxy form encased in an exoskeleton of bright orange steel beams, the gallery embraces the high-tech style that initially propelled Rogers to such architectural fame.

Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter (@reiulframstadarkitekter) has completed Hotel 48°Nord (@hotel48nord) in Breitenbach, Alsace, eastern France. Perched on a hillside, the architecture of the ecotourism retreat is inspired by Scandinavian design. 14 hytte-like cabins are built on stilts, designed to be removable, so that the landscape remains preserved. Chestnut wood sourced from trees on the opposite hill clads all volumes, combined with large glazed openings. Photography: Florent Michel via @v2com_newswire

Balčytis Studija has completed the Vilkaviškis Bus Station in Lithuania, designed both as a piece of transport infrastructure and as a social hub. Instead of removing the trees that were on the plot before development, the design incorporated them, where they punctuate the project's sheltered public space, rising through holes cut into the concrete roof to accommodate them.
