The Forest Pavilion is located at a special intersection of places on the walking route from the sluice to the marina. The existing panoramic stairs accentuate the place where water, forest, water sports and the beach come together. The rich mix of places and the beautiful natural environment require a pavilion that gives a boost to this special place. An iconic building that does justice to the different perspectives from which you can experience the various elements. Moreover, a pavilion that invites you to meet, and one that is given a place with respect for nature.

We create a rising natural roof through which the forest extends over the pavilion. In this way we do not withdraw nature from the environment. One can walk up the forest roof to the lookout point from where you have a spectacular new perspective of the surroundings. We enhance the vantage point by adding a sculptural staircase connecting the walking route from the roof down to the main square. A forest of slender columns supports the forest roof, visually connecting the tree trunks around.
