The village will double in population this decade and this growth requires to review the frameworks. The Orchard fulfills a role in. Amid the gardeners homes with a small bridge over the ditch (on the main structure of the Beemster Polder) and the houses on the hinterland is the building for the Orchard a marker in the transition of these two time periods and the new Beacon in the monotony of the houses on straddling of the old village and the new village. The Orchard is like a home for the entire community, from the toddler on the tree house to the card player in the Community Center.
