The exhibition ' Women.NL’ featured the work of four female architects, among which the work of Bekkering Adams architecten. The general idea behind the exhibition design was to make a display that is an architectural design in itself.

The display is treated as a 'secret cabinet'. One side is closed, and features a plasma-screen with an ongoing digital presentation of the design and the projects. The other side is open, and exposes architectural models of some of the projects of the office. The cabinet itself is like an object: it is an abstraction of the (paper) design for the 'Kamer van Koophandel". As such, the cabinet is a model in itself.

The cabinet was positioned in such a way that the closed side faces the entrance, showing visitors the video presentation while entering the exhibition space. In this way the cabinet display does not reveal it selves right away, but seduces the visitor to explore her secrets.
