This sheep stable / petting farm building is designed by the Holland-based 70F Architecture architects. This building won the 2008 World Architecture Festival Award for World's Best Pleasure Building, and is currently nominated for a 2009 World Architecture Award. The petting farm was built solely on sponsored payments, and the building contains stables, a toilet and a small office space.
The exterior is as seen, made of open wooden shutters, which allow the building to constantly be ventilated, thus reducing interior smells that are so common in most stables nowadays. The shutters can be opened manually by need, or even adjusted to open automatically, in such a way that they adjust themselves according to the daytime and the strength of the sunlight exposure. The open facade system is not only sustainable, it is almost pioneering in the agricultural stable building universe.
