It is complete with [concrete materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omer-arbel) to give it a disguised look that appears to look like a boulder, with one distinguishable element of the porthole-style window. It is a space that can reside one person comfortable and located right outside the town of Sergy on rural grounds of modern art space Bermuda. Bureau speaks about the project, noting that "Thérèse was thought and built along the same lines as Antoine, creating interconnected dependencies of art and other traveling communities. Habitation is political here, as the two shelters are nowhere near commercial or speculative routes or agendas. They offer a place to many outside any financial or economic considerations."
