About Buitenverblijf Nest
Buitenverblijf Nest: Merging Nature and Design
In the heart of the Hoge Veluwe National Park in the Netherlands, Buitenverblijf Nest stands as a testament to innovative architectural design that harmonizes with its natural surroundings. Created by the renowned design studio i29 in 2023, this one-of-a-kind holiday home draws inspiration from the concept of a birdhouse, presenting a unique opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the forest. The project, part of a special initiative by the Arnhem municipality, was developed on a historic site previously occupied by barracks. This area, now a vibrant community for artists and creative minds, hosts Buitenverblijf Nest as one of 11 specially designed follies. The design ethos behind these structures emphasizes camouflage and integration with the landscape, ensuring that each folly, while distinct, does not overshadow the natural beauty of Buitenplaats Koningsweg.
