The project transforms an enclosed area, crammed with industrial derelicts, into an urban oasis. It tears down, replaces with plants and trees but not all. Some walls are left. Two semitransparent garden pavilions are added. House/garden/house/garden = garden house.

A wall is no barrier - house garden house garden = 'gardenhouse' - 'hangar' = house to hang around - gardenrooms - different views, different games - hide & seek & play. The private house is linked to as well as separated from a professional practice. Walls and pavilions create garden rooms, each with an own atmosphere. A wall is no barrier. It creates views. Open view – hidden view. Hide & seek & play. Different views for different personsand purposes.
