AKKE BOTMA APT & STUDIO (1990 --) [mb-L3 / E-side N-end]

Akke established a board-wall-defined territory in Merkelbach in 1981/82. The present family apt and studio were started in 1990.

AKKE B APT (& STUDIO)

(pic 8-93 / to WWS)

A 'family home' & studio.

The whole living-space is divided into apartment & studio. The studio is through the double-door in the S-wall [pic lft]. The entry from the enclave passage is via the studio.

The apt space occupies the NE corner of Merkelbach & thus has windows on two sides (pic: rt: the high strip-windows of Merkelbach's N facade).

A mezzanine bedroom is over the Kitchen.
