Archery House is a terracotta brick building in "the greenbelt area of Fontenay-aux-roses on the outskirts of Paris." The structure is built by architectural studio Boman and it offers a compact and cozy space for individuals on the range. It spans a total of 49 square meters.
The Archery House is defined by a circular window that is shaped like a target.
