C House

C House is a unique and stylish home located in the middle of a Dutch forest. It was designed and built by GetAway Projects, and its distinctive C-shape gives it its name. The house has five spaces, each with its own function. The central space is a raised kitchen with views of the forest. At either end of the C are elevated bedrooms with bathrooms, and in between at ground level is a dining area and an intimate sitting area.

The house is clad in Corten steel, which has turned a beautiful shade of red. The window sills are crafted from untreated Fraké wood, a thermally modified type of wood with a warm and inviting look and feel. Fraké wood has also been used throughout the interior of the house to add a sense of flow and continuity to proceedings.

This majestic-looking Dutch home is surrounded by an unheated natural swimming pool with a 12-metre swimming lane and a helophyte filter with lava stones and yellow irises to help purify the water. The hexagonal shape of the house creates an inner garden with a raised bar adjacent to the kitchen. The windows of the bar open completely to create a seamless indoor-outdoor space. There is also a raised wooden deck next to the pool.

Nestled in a 5,500 square metre private forest that blends into the larger surrounding forest, there is such a serene feel to C House. The goal was to come up with a recreational home for six people that feels cosy and sheltered, despite being in the middle of the forest. It has separate bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as enough space for privacy so that people can enjoy time together but also retreat to different parts of the house.

Perfectly proportioned, C House has a large, open living space with sliding doors that can close off the bedrooms. The roof and walls are made of steel sandwich panels, which are two steel panels with a layer of insulation in between. The outer walls are finished with Corten steel sheets, which are a type of weathering steel that develops a rust-like finish over time. A first-class piece of architecture that we’re loving here at The Coolector.
