SLOOM 9 = Holistic Centre

December 22nd, 2006

In the North East Polder of the Netherlands an old harbour with its dykes becomes a focus point in the impoldered landscape. The owner of the site would like us to build a holistic centre including a tea room along the dyke. We propose a design which at one end is firmly rooted in the soil and by different turns rests on the dyke, then slowly turns towards the sky. We use local wood, stamped clay, basalt rocks and hemp as building materials.
