From the architect: We've designed and built a house in the middle of the forest in the east of the Netherlands: The C House. The house is built in a half hexagonal shape, hence the C. The house consists of 5 parts that each have their own function. Both ends of the C are elevated bedrooms with bathrooms. In the middle is a raised kitchen with views to both sides of the forest and in between at ground level you’ll find a dining area and a sitting area.
The house is clad with Corten steel (another reference to the C) and has turned into a beautiful red colour in the last months. The window sills are made of untreated Fraké wood, a thermally modified type of wood that we often use in the houses that we build. We have also used this type of wood for the finishing of the house inside.
The house is enclosed by an unheated natural swimming pool with a swimming lane of 12 meters and a helophyte filter with lava stones and yellow irises for the purification of the water.
The hexagonal shape encloses an inner garden in which we have built a raised bar directly adjacent to the kitchen with windows that open up completely to complete the bar-feeling and a raised wooden deck directly adjacent to the pool.
The house is surrounded by a private forest of 5,500m2 that continues into the bigger forest around.
