The former Huis te Wiel estate is located in the outer dyke area of the Rhine in the Betuwe and is surrounded by a moat. The existing farm – a national monument – is respected as the most important building. The hierarchy is reinforced by constructing the new buildings as derivatives of the farm; its slanted roof and the different directions of the ridges of the front of the house and of the attached barn are copied in the design of the new buildings.
