Why do we start this adventure?

A lot is happening in the construction sector to make the construction and use of buildings more sustainable. The emphasis here is on efficiency through technological development and horizontal urban expansion. However, we do not believe that a pleasant living environment is determined by a house that is equipped with all the gadgets that contribute to sustainability, but rather by social cohesion and having a real home feeling.

We believe that a higher quality of living can be achieved within the existing city through densification. We strive for social living environments that continue the character of the city and are future-proof in order to achieve our economic and ecological goals.

Our mission.

Working together to increase the number of people who can call a great neighborhood home. We strive to build with minimal impact and build on the quality of the existing neighborhood.

We create circular and scalable housing concepts through standardization while at the same time retaining the specific character of the existing district.

In this way we build in a way that is in line with the present and is future-proof for both people and the climate.
