The residential building has an internal and external skeleton. The internal skeleton is the sustainable timber frame construction,
with a staircase of recycled metal profiles as the backbone of the house. The external skeleton is the shield in the shape of a
durable facade. This shield of corten steel has the same protection function as the exoskeleton of a beetle, to visualize the link to nature.
The shield only opens up for functional windows, geometric eyes from which one can oversee the former shipyard.
The outdoor room on the boulevard side (the front deck) shows the wooden endoskeleton, the flesh. It is emphasized by
the use of black Douglas. The garden, reachable through the rear deck and the barn, is an unexpected Japanese orientated oasis
with circular water storage.
