Posted by Jessie on Mar 30, 2012 in ARCHITECTURE

A pavilion near the forest is the English name of this beautiful building in the woods, the owner fell in love with the surroundings and asked Brussels based architecture firm Stekke + Fraas to build him a small living unit that’s one with nature. Building on a natural inclination they constructed the black zinc house with the help of eight concrete piles on which the building rests. Resulting in the openness of the back of the volume and be on the same height as the tree trunks with the best view. The kitchen and the living room are located on the first floor while a bedroom and open bathroom are on the second floor.
