‘Tij’ is a lookout point for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, located in the stunning Scheelhoek nature reserve in the province of Zeeland. Breed ID designed and calculated the wooden, egg-shaped Zollinger structure using parametric models in Rhino, combined with Grasshopper and Karamba. The timber engineering was carried out in collaboration with Geometria from Finland.
