Nestkast
The house as an extension of the garden. Just outside the beautiful village of Wolfheze close to Arnhem and national park De Hoge Veluwe, along the oldest forests in the Netherlands, our clients own a house that needs replacement after more than a century. The old house is beyond repair, so a new sustainable replacement was what they requested.

For them being outside in the garden is more important than sitting on a sofa watching TV. So we designed a house as part of the garden. With daylight falling through the many skylights and a panorama window towards the bird feeding platforms, the owners experience the garden the year round.

Soft tones, natural materials and two wooden houses inside the house complete that experience. Like all of our buildings the house is energy neutral, has a high level of circularity and provides a comfortable and healthy indoor climate.
