The work of art "The detached house rhizome" lets a house grow further onto the next-door premises. The little "offshoot" will have its individual form, but can be related to its "parent house" in terms of architectural style, materials and colours.

"Rhizome" is a botanical term and describes a sub terrestrial shoot, which produces a new sprout some distance to the plant.

"The detached house rhizome" will be realized in a developing area in Heinde in cooperation with local craftsmen. The assistance of a house owner and his neighbour is pre-requisite. The work will become a cross-border undertaking in the full sense of the word and shall be maintained beyond the project period.
