The lightweight, demountable structure stands in the Villa Oasis garden and houses the exhibition Birds of Jardin Majorelle. It reinterprets the nouala, a traditional rural shelter made of reeds and thatch, using natural materials and reversible assembly.

The architect won the 2026 Fondation Jardin Majorelle prize. The 28 October inauguration marks the completion of her design; the bird exhibition had already been running since April. The development is therefore a new setting for that exhibition rather than its launch.
