Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Rogers has completed his final building – a gallery that cantilevers 27 metres out above the hillside at the Château La Coste vineyard in southern France.
Named The Richard Rogers Drawing Gallery, the project was the last work produced by the architect before his retirement from Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) – the studio he founded in 1977.

The 120-square-metre art gallery is almost entirely suspended off the ground with only four small footings touching the ground.
It is supported within a bright-orange structure that is visible on the outside like many of the seminal buildings designed by the high-tech architecture pioneer including the Centre Pompidou and the Lloyds building.
Architecture studio Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners has announced it is setting up a European office in Paris to win work in the EU following Brexit.
Stephen Barrett, the partner responsible for France at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), describes establishing a Paris office as essential for continuing to work in France and the European Union following the absolute catastrophe of Brexit.
Although the studio has been working in France for 50 years with high-profile projects including the Centre Pompidou, European Courts of Human Rights in Strasbourg, a terminal at Lyon Airport and an archive for the Louvre, it has never had a permanent office in the country.
