Dutch studio 70F architecture have designed Hof van Duivenvoorde, a visitors center that looks like a barn, but at the same time is transparent and has a welcoming atmosphere.
Hof van Duivenvoorde (Duivenvoordes Courtyard) has nine movable facade parts that open up the building in the morning and close it at night.
When designing the building, the architect had trouble finding someone who would be able to create the movable facade parts. Bas ten Brinke, owner of 70F architecture, therefore decided to do the engineering himself, and the result is a facade that can be opened, adding light to the interior restaurant, and when closed, the building becomes a modest barn.
