De Chinezen
De Kemping
A complete television event site, built from nothing in a meadow and kept running for months.
The site had no connections. Everything had to be brought in: structure, power, water supply, drainage, access routes and daily maintenance, across a long production period.

Period2020–2021
Role
Production designer and site operations lead. I drew the site and ran it: build, suppliers, crew, external contractors and daily operation.
The result
The site
I drew the site and built it as well: modular units on stilts and an independent water supply with tanks and a pipe network instead of daily deliveries. The choices were made on maintenance, because anything that needs attention every week will not survive a production of several months.
Responsibility
- Design and build of the complete site
- Utilities, water supply and infrastructure
- Suppliers, transport, crew and external contractors
- Daily operation and maintenance across a long production period
- Keeping build and running costs within budget
