Kooysight is a farmhouse in Oostvoorne, the Netherlands. It was built in the 17th century as a farmhouse with wooden shed and sawmill. In the 19th century it was converted into a mansion by the nobility from the city of Den Briel (in succession the families Van der Fuijck, Villerius, Van Andel, Verhey). The estate is named after the duck cage that lay a few hundred meters to the west. The Waterstaat-engineer, Mayor and Councilor Bastiaan Jacob Verhey (1785-1859) expanded it, changed the adjacent shed into stables, laid out gardens and added the surrounding forest to the estate. Until 1949 (sold by his granddaughter), Kooysight was used by the family Verhey from Den Briel mainly as a summer-residence. This beautiful farmhouse papermodel was made and designed by Herbert Verhey. He likes to make papermodels for his family activity, but now he wants to share this template with you. The assembly instructions are included with the template in a PDF file. The scale is 1:200.

Back to building model again. Since I was a kid, I always dream to have a tree house. I like to climb trees back then. I would build one now if I have a tree in my backyard, but sadly there is not one big tree there, even more sadly I don't have a backyard in my house, lol. I like to see a big tree, especially the one with small leaves, and I like to imagine if there is a tree house up there, would be so cool. I recently watch a TV program titled "Tree House Master" on Discovery World channel. I love that show and then I try to make 1:100 miniature, but exclude the tree, just the house. So here it is a simple but quite tiny template. It has only 1 page of pattern.

On the December 2013 I was commissioned to design paper craft templates for Ind Japan Expo 2013 exhibition. The exhibition was about Smart Grid City, a city with efficient power system and uses green energy. My friend Rauf Raphanus and I were work on the templates, Rauf worked on the transportation system paper craft and I worked on city buildings paper craft. I wanted to share with you some of the templates, there are : houses, battery storage building, solar panel installation, windmill electricity generator, warehouse, dock and boats.

There are still more buildings such as government building, commercial building, skyscraper and other tall buildings, but I don't share them because they are too big to fit into A4 paper. All models are very simple. All the templates were used one time only for making a miniature city for that exhibition, and now I allowed to share them with you. Because I was not intended to made these for Paper Replika release, so there is no assembly instructions. All photos by Putri Ayu Pratami.
