Music residency summer 2025 – Nature
- Location: MONDREPUIS, France
OEUVRER is a collective of architects based in Mondrepuis (02500) in Aisne. The Collective is made up of an Architecture SCOP and an Association, united around a single place: the Archipelago.
The SCOP d’Architecture works on various projects, ranging from equipment to collective housing, including offices and private housing and has the capacity to intervene on projects in the MH sector. Its members are mostly multidisciplinary and combine the practice of architecture with various activities and specialties: heritage architect, ESS engineer, craftsman (electrician, carpenter, carpenter), actor, etc.
The association, for its part, organizes meetings, exhibitions, conferences and other collective events around Architecture, inside or outside the walls, raising awareness from individuals to professionals, including school audiences during various workshops: models, cob, treasure hunt, ceramics, etc.
The Archipelago is a place of experimentation in architectural practice and a laboratory of uses. This building from the end of the 19th century, formerly called the “villa Mon Repos”, became the property of the PRO VITA association in the 1930s. This association, embodied by the soul of “Father Mathieu” for more than 50 years, is one of the oldest summer camp organizations for children and adolescents in the North. In the 1990s, the association separated from this property. The land is then redivided into several plots and resold to individuals.
At the end of 2020, members of OEUVRER, looking for a place to experiment, came across this site, combining heritage, history and architecture. The project then becomes concrete: the Archipelago is born.
The Archipelago is the idea that by creating a plurality of islands, approaches, experiments, uses, on site and off site, we collectively try another way of being in the world. A territorial network that would allow us to inhabit territories differently, by reinvesting vacant heritage, by restoring uses to places while perpetuating their memory.
The Archipelago is therefore a laboratory in which we experiment with different types of uses including artistic residencies.

Shared Accommodation In The South – NatureNature - Montseret (France) - 26/07/2025I offer to welcome you to my home which is still under construction but habitable! The space available is enough to set up a quiet working place for your creations. I am also a creator and I am currently looking for new artistic encounters, which can inspire me in this new home which needs to be recharged with good vibrations... Shared kitchen and bathroom too, I just ask that we agree so that everyone feels at ease and comfortable. In France for 13 years, I am of Italian origin and I studied fine arts in Milan. I create jewelry and I make paintings...solar and bear, I am attentive and respectful of everyone's needs for solitude or sharing 😉 Rivers, sea and wild nature are not far away.
