The Urban Woods - Winner of the Futureproof Building Award - is a scalable, high-tech housing concept for the modern city, addressing health, sustainability, and social cohesion simultaneously. Located in Delft, Deventer, Groningen, and Amsterdam, The Urban Woods offers the Netherlands a new perspective on living.

The homes are smart and flexible: with the WoodsApp, you can easily add extras like a greenhouse, workspace, or e-bike. Shared facilities provide more luxury per square meter.

The buildings are net-zero, largely bio-based, and feature a world first: wood made from waste wood. Greenery is everywhere, with trees on facades and rooftops that boost biodiversity.

They’re also futureproof: adaptable, 85% reusable, and self-learning in energy use. And best of all? The design encourages social connections and a healthy lifestyle.

In short: living at The Urban Woods is smart, sustainable, and social. 🌿🏡

Together with Jasper de Ridder we've designed the all-in-one app that residents use for all their needs.
