Locomotion of Demesne is a counter reaction on the classic way of protecting buildings against earthquakes in the area of Groningen by making large and stiff constructions. Its approach uses spark-carriers (young urban professionals) working in the Groningen high-tech industry (datacentres Eemshaven). The design is based on the nine rules of seismic design in combination with a rural and luxurious loft appearance. By combining earthquake proof building and a new source of investments the area of Groningen is upgraded in an economic and social way.
