Rooftop Extension ideas / Forest House Transformation in Hengelo

Hidden in the forest in Hengelo, Netherlands, Bloot Architecture has added a sculptural, compact, and sustainable rooftop extension on the top of an existing 1950s holiday house.

The extension is situated within the original structure and feels like a secluded treehouse, almost entirely constructed out of timber, with flax insulation and all facades and roofing will be covered with untreated Larch cladding.

The new addition offers space for two bedrooms and a landing with a wash table, which provides access to the existing roof. The exterior and interior are tailor-fit designed for the functions and usage, the beds and storage space are built-in so no further furniture will be needed.
