A shared geometry connects timber construction and finishes at a getaway
Beside a pond in Puurs, Unicus built a holiday home. Working with Woodstoxx and Belgiqa, the team carried the geometry of the design through the timber structure, façades, terrace and interior. The project shows how the companies within Highway Group coordinate their expertise, from design to installation.
The plot boundary shapes the design
The holiday getaway consists of two separate cabins: one for daytime living and one for sleeping. The plot boundary informed their angled positioning, orienting both volumes towards the light and the pond. Unicus chose timber framing and added steel at selected points to preserve the intended openness. The team developed the construction details with attention to insulation requirements and architectural form.
The same lines continue through every wood finish
Woodstoxx supplied and installed Fassade cladding with a Magnum profile in Volcano. Its lines continue across façades and roof edges, while Duricoat® guides the wood’s natural ageing. A padouk terrace connects both cabins and follows the same direction.
Inside, wide elm parquet from Belgiqa continues the use of wood. The sloping ceilings also feature parquet cladding in a custom colour. Unicus and Woodstoxx aligned the floor layout with the building’s axes. With the interior floor and terrace at the same level, the spaces extend visually outdoors.
One coordinated process, from timber construction to finishes
Collaboration within Highway Group helped the teams align material choices and technical junctions early. Unicus led the design, technical development and project coordination. Woodstoxx and Belgiqa contributed their knowledge of wood finishes and execution.
This direct coordination is visible in the connection between façade and terrace, the parquet layout and the ceiling cladding. It preserved the design’s defining lines through to completion.
