Situated at the end of the Arsenal along an existing ‘garden pavilion’, the new temporary intervention consists of a light elegant white steel structure covered with a reflective silver roof fabric. The new structure placed along the entire length of the house is mirroring the existing pitch roof and thereby extending the existing pavilion with a new external room that acts as a ‘galleria’ linking the seven rooms together.

Inside each of the seven rooms, a juxtaposition of images of both Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen and the photographer Bas Princen are presented side by side. Both printed on white aluminium plates, they are simply placed against the curved wall and, in each room, start to populate the space.
