The big workshop is equipped with some hand machines and tools as well as a small material pool. The windows facing the «Grange», create a link between the two rooms. The gate is opening the Room onto the «Grand Rue» allowing to work on large objects in the workshop. The room cannot be heated.
Above the common room there are further rooms with beds, a roof terrace and a bathroom. The rooms are bright, so they are also suitable for clean, quiet work.
The three-room apartment consists of a small and a large bedroom, the kitchen with adjoining dining area, a sauna and a bathroom with bathtub and toilet. The kitchen is open to the dining area, with a table for about eight people and a fireplace. The whole apartment can be heated with the central heating (wood-heating; located on the first floor) and by the two fireplaces. The sauna is heated electrically.
The Grange is ideal for performative art, large installations or exhibitions. The three levels create special spaces that allow for new perspectives. The space is insulated but cannot be heated.
The green area is located on the highest terrace level, directly on the edge of the forest. It offers a great view over the valley and is suitable for yoga sessions or cosy barbecue evenings, for example. Barely five minutes of walking from the house
The nearby forests are located in the nature reserve «Parc naturel régional des Ballons des Vosges». Here, man hardly intervenes and the forest is largely left to its own. The wild trees overgrown with moss surrounded by countless small lakes of the «Plateau des Mille Étangs» leaves a mystical impression.

The pottery studio is located on the ground floor. A lot of daylight enters the room through the glass door to the «Rue des Fossés». There are potter’s wheels and some clay working tools as well as a kiln. There is a selection of clay and glazes that can be obtained from the collective.
The furnace forms the center of the common room and thus divides the room into kitchen/dining area and living room/sewing corner. The kitchen is fully equipped, also for cooking larger quantities. In the living room is a daybed, a couch and a piano. In the nearby corner is a sewing machine and a basic selection of threads and fabrics.
On the second floor, above the «gîte», there is another, more rustic flat with the same floor size. In two rooms there is a small stove for heating. The flat also has a kitchen, toilet and hip bath/shower.
