Jeanne Reymond – Capite

I grew up in Chardonne, Lavaux, surrounded by vineyards. With a winemaker brother, I’ve always been immersed in wine culture. In Vaud, small vineyard cabins called capites once served as tool sheds or shelters. Today, about 1200 of these capites are unused. Since March 2024, winegrowers can sell wine directly in vineyards and renovate capites to welcome visitors. My project introduces a wooden façade system to easily renovate these capites to host a few people, adaptable to various sizes. Given Lavaux’s UNESCO status, the façade is discreet when closed but opens in one move to become visible from afar when open for tastings. Each façade features the local commune’s flag. The goal is to promote wine tourism in Lavaux offering an intimist tasting in the heart of wine.
