The Tuimelhuis which was designed by architects Koers, Zeinstra and Van Gelderen represents – much like garden furniture – a mobile component of the immobile house. The Tuimelhuis offers the compact solution to an extensive catalog of functions and, by moving it around, the potential usages of the Tuimelhuis are constantly evolving. One minute it’s a store room, a study, a bedroom or a playroom and the next it’s a sheltered outdoor space. A number of Tuimelhuizen can create a constantly shifting configuration of buildings around the garden path. This informal method of building relates to the specific regenerative and season-bound character of gardens and courtyards.

The authors of the Tumblehouse are Jurjen Zeinstra, Mikel van Gelderen and Ira Koers. 1998
