Forest Gazebo with Panoramic View

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This shelter is located in a more open place in the forest. You have a lot of space there. Opposite the shelter, children have built a camp. It is a nice place to stay for a while, also with children.

The shelter is located in the tidal landscape of the Wal-Zwijn flood area near Hamme. This sculpture is slightly hidden from the dike. It is a cocoon of 3 by 3 meters. The exterior is made of corten steel, while the interior is fully finished with woven, living hazel and willow branches.
The passer-by is invited to step inside the capsule. It is a sheltered resting place to listen and look at the surrounding mudflats and salt marshes. Because the woven wood is alive, the artwork grows and evolves with the seasons.
