Entry Description

House of Nature, an innovative Landscape Architecture project designed as a gateway into the National Park Bosland in Lommel, Belgium.
This Landmark flows into the landscape and forms a symbiosis with its surroundings and the environment. It is made of a complex structure of Corten steel supported by 12 large iron pillars from the inside. The outer shell is also Corten steel, a very sustainable and earthy coloured material built to withstand the test of time. Thousands of welding points, each meticulously made by hand can be seen covering the shell.
House of Nature is 50m long and 8m high.
