Rethinking old prototypes is a necessary thinking ritual. . . in parallel with reconsidering laws that prevent a new result.
Apartments oriented to the North Sea are all oriented to the sunless north, so they provide shade to the dike and its own terraces. It is clear that a correct slope gives sun to all.
Holes in the facade even give sun deep into the inner streets.
Stairs on the sloping facade connect each apartment directly to the beach.
