The North Sea island of Texel is located off the northern Dutch coast, in the Frisian Wadden Sea. Its rich fauna and flora make it a popular holiday destination. Neither home improvement stores nor construction businesses exist here. For the construction of the small holiday home to be as efficient as possible, the logical conclusion was to transport the least possible amount of construction materials by ship from the mainland to the island. The result is the small timber house, prefabricated in Heerhugoward, located about one and a half travel hours by car and ferry from Texel.
