Underground secret: a summer home from a bunker
The only thing that distinguishes this bunker from hundredsothers scattered throughout Europe - this is a nearby wooden platform and a table with chairs. It would seem that it is completely out of place here and in general, it is unclear how it ended up here, in the middle of the meadows of the Netherlands. But taking a step inside the concrete bunker, you will understand everything. Under the ground, something completely unexpected is hidden - a country summer house, equipped with elegant furniture and all the necessary modern amenities, considering such an amazing superstructure. Belgian architectural studio B-ild initially created a bunker house as a publicity stunt for a Dutch company, but then the house became so popular that they decided to turn it into a summer residence that tourists can rent for any period.
The historical integrity of the building remainsThe outside is unchanged, just as before, the bunker is camouflaged and looks like a grassy hill. The interior also retains the tiny embrasure windows, rusting door frames and rough walls of bare concrete. This bunker remained intact after World War II.
The bunker house has two main rooms. In the long corridor at the entrance, the designers equipped a modern kitchen with all the necessary equipment.
The main room of the bunker contains a sleeping area anddining area. The rough texture of concrete and reinforcement is softened by furniture and wood trim. The pleasant reddish-brown color of the wood and yellow lighting fill the rather gloomy space with coziness and warmth. The bunker house can accommodate up to four people. Two bunk beds, a folding dining table for four and a couple of cabinets - that's all the utensils of the tiny residence.
In any case, the bunker house is used only at night or in bad weather. The rest of the time, tourists enjoy the fresh air, warm sun and beautiful pastoral views.
