In Wijhe, a village near Zwolle, The Netherlands, we designed the renovation of an old farm. We decided to rebuild the residence completely, maintaining the end walls and the foundation from 1611. Besides transforming the farm into a comfortable home, our main objective was to reinstate the farm in a sustainable manner .
