One with the horizontal Frisian farmland is the dwelling ‘Kooi’. Landscape and program result in a dialog that isn’t classic rural or like the current surrounding hall-architecture.
The villa is a sequence of the program. The main entrance hinges the villa in the living area and the sleeping area. Day and night is separated, but also switched to a organized total round the inner courtyard. Inside and outside are separated climatic, but they also flow over into eachother because of using the same details and materials inside and outside of the villa.
