Dutch Studio Next Architects Watchtower Enderheide, which is a wooded -friendly wooden control in the Netherlands with curved pieces that reveal a spiral staircase.

The following architects, which contains offices in Amsterdam and China, have completed the tower as a monitoring point for tourists on a network of cycling and walking paths in the Einerheide forest near the Belgium border.

The studio’s ambition was to build a 26 -meter tower after the tests showed that the height would allow visitors to take a peek on the parts of the explosive area, known as Kemben.

The studio decided to integrate habitats for trees housing bats in the Temple, which is located on the path of a winged mammals.

“This tower is equally as much as for animals as it is for people, as the partner of the arriving architect Michelle Sherinemamers said.

“In addition to the ocean view, the wooden tower is equipped with summer and winter shelters for bats.”

The structure consists of the douglas first columns coated with the thermally modified pine that protects the weather. In essence, there is a steel spiral staircase that takes up to three levels.

The shape of the simple tower is divided into the voids that were carved from its facade and exposed its construction. The following architects created these pieces with curved symptoms to provide different views of the forest.

“We have created different levels in the tower to explore and try the forest at different altitudes that provide views in different directions.”

“The road has become a tour itself.”

Because of the poor access to the site and the limited space between the trees, the tower was previously manufactured in a workshop with the support structure and the interface panels assembled on the site.

The stability of the tower comes from the L -shaped columns in each corner, three wind areas, and two in the closed facades that extend from the foundation to the ceiling and one in the open interface.

It was developed in the project by the environment scientist Jeroen Mos, and it was combined into the tower in the tower and diverged at an altitude of five and 10 meters, with the battlefalls behind it to imitate the hollow of the trees.

The pine preserved for the pyramid is given a good fist so that they can land and crawl away.

Below the tower, the tower base consists of concrete and includes a cellar where animals can hide and hibes in the cold winter months.

Watchtower Enderheide, designed in cooperation with WSP, advice and environmental research, and the H+N+S Lands’ Engineers, is one of a number of structures and attractions that were built alongside a new road, N69, between the Belgian border and Vel -Hoven.

The tower was assigned by the Bergeijk municipality with the support of North Brabant Province and the main road contractor.

Next Architects has built a number of projects designed to accommodate the types of bats, including the bats that runs on the VLOTWATERING River in Monster.

Other projects that include Spanish animal habitats in Spanish studios include flashing temperatures in mammals and mammals, which are designed to camouflage with trees in a forest in Luxembourg and Danish architecture Begostio Begusri Bayan in Al Suwaidi, which is surrounded by bird copies.
