Villa Welpeloo finished

General

Erik Stekelenburg describes the construction of this first villa by 2012Architects as an inverse explosion, since most of the constituent materials were obtained from the surroundings of the buildingsite. The comparison suits very well since the constructionsite of Villa welpeloo was devestated by the fireworks explosion in 2000 in Enschede.
