Amsterdam . March 2023
It’s a pavilion on a local farm in Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands. Circularity and rethinking of old components was the main goal of the project. We designed a pavilion focusing on the sheep and how they can be better protected and safer on the busy days of the farm. The pavilion is located near an old bunker and it’s a place where sheep were often spotted. It is a roofless shelter with a wall blocking the air, but not the view, and also provides a feeding station. Sheep can go underneath the banister and hide from people walking around. The matter of circularity leads us to come up with ways to “connect” the materials without causing damage or using power tools. Components used for the pavilion were old fences and grids for the wall, connected to the banisters, leading to heavy traffic poles for a foundation on the ground.
