Holiday Park Delfste Hout
Delft

FACET designed three structures: a staff residence, a sanitary building, and a reception with a shop. All buildings are clad in Platowood Fraké and finished with Weathered to ensure a uniform greying over time.

Architect Johan Drenth:

“We were looking for a circular product that would guarantee long-term durability. Platowood was an excellent fit. The wood is high-quality and low-maintenance. The buildings turned out beautifully and are setting new standards in the recreation sector. The materials used align perfectly with our ambition for a fully circular design.”

A new experience

Both the sanitary building and reception feature distinctive roof shapes, creating strong architectural character. The buildings are finely detailed—matching the refinement of Delft’s historic architecture—and remain small-scale to blend with the natural landscape. Materials were selected to reflect both the site’s green setting and the historical legacy of Delft Blue ceramics.

The reception building plays a key role, as it provides the first impression for visitors. Positioned prominently at the park entrance, it combines a welcoming front desk with back-office functions and a small shop. The sanitary building sits at the heart of the campground. In addition to its practical function, it fosters social interaction, with wide corridors that offer openness and sightlines. High-quality, low-impact materials were used, with a conscious effort to avoid plastics. A new staff residence was also built. Simpler in shape than the other buildings—since it serves no public function—it nonetheless uses the same materials to maintain visual consistency across the park.
