RADIO KOOTWIJK enclave for people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity 52°10’26.3”N - 5°49’11.3”E
RADIO KOOTWIJK New Masterplan
The existing copper cable that was used to amplify the signal, now is recycled to form a wall around the community. Thanks to the copper`s properties it is an ideal material for reecting electromagnetic radiation coming from the outside. The length of the existing cable is more than 60 km which allows to wrap the community more than 20 times

RADIO KOOTWIJK Building A - from radio machine hall to community hall
Building A Main machine hall with the creation of the EHS community, the main building of the Radio Park is no longer vacant. From the machine hall, it was converted into a community center for meetings, exhibitions, workshops and presentations.
Park to reduce the presence of the main building and the association with the former radio park, the lush park is built around. It hides most of the building.
