modernistic doctor’s home becomes bed and breakfast -
‘we like your personality’:
new and old _ similarities but very different -
wall becomes wooden slab -
3 new elements: a staircase, a terrace and a round balustrade _ AND a tiny house -
‘take shelter’: a canopy like a tree branch -
in between village and natural reserve

- ‘the surroundings are too beautiful to block the view!’
‘let’s build half a building’ _
AND an old barn, slow as a tortoise -
shelter for people and a food truck -
and also: there will be light!
