A new Center Parcs cottage
Concrete and Center Parcs embarked on a journey to redefine the holiday experience. Center Parcs, renowned for its family-friendly holiday parks in the heart of nature, aimed to enhance its offerings for a broader audience. Concrete developed a new and innovative generation of prototype cottages, rethinking the classic Center Parcs bungalow.
A prototype has been constructed at Parc Bispinger Heide in Germany, available for rental by guests. Drawing inspiration from the original design by Dutch architects Van den Broek and Bakema, Concrete crafted a contemporary experience, centred around togetherness and nature. Concrete is bringing its expertise in modular construction to Center Parcs, devising a cottage that is sustainable, easy to build, and with a small impact on its environment.
Finding yourself in nature
At the core of the new design is the concept of finding oneself in nature. The idea was to create spaces where guests could disconnect from the hustle of daily life and reconnect with themselves. The new cottages achieve this by seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces. A floor-to-ceiling glass facade offer uninterrupted views of the surrounding nature, making the outdoors feel like an extension of the living room.
