Created as part of Famous’ advertising campaign, this unusual holiday home is now permanently open for rental accommodations. The concrete bunker is surrounded by rolling green hills and is located in Fort Vuren as part of the ‘Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie’ site. Due to the bunker’s tiny footprint—the usable surface for the main room only measures 9 square meters with a height of 1.8 meters—B-ILD could only fit the bare essentials. All of the furnishings are custom-made and multifunctional—furniture can fold or slide away—to allow optimal use of the small space.

The architects also added an outdoor wood deck with a perimeter size that matches the outer circumference of the bunker.
