Just special people

Of all households in the Netherlands, only 25% correspond to a traditional family. This means that 75% has a different composition. Subsequently, it appears that in the city approximately 50% of the inhabitants live alone.

More space and more freedom

We have set ourselves the goal that the WoW-House should be accessible to as many people as possible. The special thing about the WoW-House is the optimal use of space and the unprecedented possibilities to use it according to your own preference. Between 8 and 12 m2 of extra living space will become available, just by dropping the traditional hall.

Adaptability

The basis of the WoW-House is formed by a two, three or four-storey arrangement. Voids or even the omission of entire floor areas offer the possibility of making the interior more special and creating connections with the living spaces above.

Stairs

The way in which the staircase is designed determines the organization of the home. A straight stairway, a stairway with two quarters or a semicircular stairway, each makes a different connection possible. As a result, the WoW-House can easily be adapted to the desired need. It can be transformed into many typologies, ranging from a family home, a downstairs apartment, a back-to-back home, a kangaroo infill or it can even be converted into a collective living space for asylum seekers or for students.

If the stairs are placed directly against the core volume, it is even possible to place the entrance centrally from the side wall.
