This neighborhood is a result of research about affordable and sustainable social housing and offers a solution for the housing shortage in the Netherlands. The project was commissioned by Studio Sluijzer and EcoCabins and will be realized on different vacant locations. Starting point for the design were modules that could be prefabricated and tranported to the building site using trucks. Furthermore the modules had to be energy neutral and made out of timber framing/cross laminated timber. I’ve designed a module that could fit a 50 square meter dwelling and one that could fit two 25 square meter studios. Those modules are then put together in five different configurations to form ensembles. Two of them are shown here. The ‘4-under-1 solar-roof’ consists of a retirement home, single family homes and student housing and is made selfsufficient by adding 56 solar panels on its roof. The other configuration is made of modules lined up in a row so that they aswell can share their sustainable devices.
