the location of ‘statia house one’ is on the south east part; facing the 600 meter-high dormant volcano on one site and the other the sea. the house is designed due to an old middle east principle to control climate. the underground entrance catches the breeze and passes it through to an innercourt (connected to an open roof). around this court is the sleeping area. by climbing the stairs you enter the living area where a magnificent view can behold.
