The place
Soma Sati extends over one hectare of “causse” overlooking the Célé valley, in the small village of Brengues in the Lot.
A main house, a former farmhouse set on the rock, preserves a family space.
Outbuildings, small barns and an old oven, house offices, a small gîte and a guest house.
All the living spaces are designed in a nomadic aesthetic imbued with the landscape.

Célé Valley
A 150m2 practice area, with sound and lighting as needed, extends under a generous tent, giving both a cocoon effect and a direct opening onto the surrounding nature.
Above, a small nature bar nestled between the trees creates a friendly atmosphere to quench thirsts and sharings.
The caïdal tent houses a well-equipped meal area, where small and large tables are invited.
A discreet undergrowth filters shadows and lights for a peaceful atmosphere, while various hammocks and hanging chairs inform the trees of our relaxation.
Our technical room, the aptly named Rébellion, a former truck body clad in wood on which the outdoor bathroom leans, provides for its functions.
Several flat areas, correcting the natural slope of the causse, allow the installation of tents in complete comfort.
Dry toilets and shower areas complete the response to all needs.

Project promoter
I have always been touched by the limestone aridity of this causse, by its still wild reliefs, by the rudimentary sobriety of this rural territory.
Since 10 years I have placed an anchor there from where I envisage the continuity of the journey.
I like to transform spaces and matters to discover and reveal what I perceive and project in them; a way of making dreams tangible.
I like to host and invite to share activities that are dear to me.
I like to see potential flourish.
I like to create and take care of spaces that allow the collective body to take shape.
I have worked in this direction on several sites in several countries.
I develop with this one a delicate intimacy where family anchoring intertwines with artistic and professional commitment.
I imagine this place as a modern caravanserai, a place to stop over and exchange, where souls and consciences meet to engage bodies and minds. A place where an ephemeral yet traceable “in common” is created, through which our creative singularities get empowered by the care given to the bounds that define us and unite us as moved and moving humans.
