Museumotel, Historical motel in Raon-l'Étape, France
The Museumotel consists of nine bubble-shaped rooms constructed with sprayed concrete on metal frames, forming an arc on an island in La Plaine river.
Architect Pascal Häusermann created this structure in 1967 for Maurice Thierry, owner of Relais Lorraine-Alsace, who wanted to expand his existing establishment.
The rooms incorporate furniture by 1960s designers like Charles Eames and Verner Panton, representing the post-war architectural movement.
The motel spans 4100 square meters of landscaped grounds and allows visitors to explore experimental architecture while staying in the Vosges region.
Each module is made of polyurethane foam protected by reinforced polyester, creating spaces without right angles and featuring curved walls.
