Headline: Dutch Holiday Home Allows You To 'Live In A Bird Box'
Caption: Fancy spending a vacation living in a human-sized birdhouse? Now you can thanks to a luxury holiday home in the Netherlands. In the heart of the Hoge Veluwe National Park lies the Buitenplaats Koningsweg. Once a barracks site, it now serves as a vibrant community for dozens of artists and creative entrepreneurs. As part of an innovative project by the municipality of Arnhem, 11 architectural wonders, known as follies, have been crafted in the woods for holiday stays. One such folly is Buitenverblijf Nest, an extraordinary holiday home inspired by the archetypal image of a birdhouse and designed by the i29 firm. Respecting nature, the design of Nest incorporates high-quality materials that have minimal impact on human, animal, and environmental health. The holiday home is sustainable, featuring all-electric installations and a highly insulated building envelope. Solar panels on the roof provide energy, contributing to its eco-friendly profile. Perched on slender black legs and offering a panoramic view from the treetops. Nest is a nature-inclusive habitat, providing a sanctuary for various birds, tree climbers, and insects. The architectural composition, resembling a birdhouse, seamlessly integrates into the wooded landscape. Behind the cladding, nooks and crannies offer shelter for nuthatches, woodpeckers, and bats. However, those wanting to stay needn’t worry about it being too small for you to fit your beak in as the interior of Nest is ingeniously designed to make the most of its limited space. A mezzanine floor hosts the bathroom, accessible via a stairs cupboard, while the hood of the structure houses a spacious bedroom with a large bed, and despite the compact space. To top it all off, wall-to-wall sliding doors and large round windows in the living room provide stunning views of the natural surroundings!
