In Lelystad, a retired couple’s detached house was renovated and provided with an extension, so that everything is now on one level and the house is suitable for lifelong living. The building has the solitary character of a garden house, because it is attached to the existing house like a peninsula. From the existing house, you walk through a lock-like passage to a new world. Here you have the feeling that you are staying in the middle of the garden as in a room in nature.
