WeBuild / Pick 'n Place
Space&matter was chosen as winner in the zo-wil-ik-wonen competition, organized by NEPROM, BNA and Nederland wordt anders.
Teams of project developers and architects were asked to jointly submit new concepts for consumer-involvement in the housing-market. We teamed up with Red Concepts and designed a new building and design process that introduces a design based marketmechanism. The jury was pleased with the strongly consumer oriented approach and the new dynamics in the design process. With our entry we want to provide a high quality alternative for the Dutch homogeneous rijtjeshuizen that fill up most of suburbia.
The concept is based on the fact that currently, high class architecture is only available for the rich and famous. It’s one to one, very specific and therefore very expensive. Since crisis has hit the architectural world, many professionals lose their jobs or spend their time on losing competitions. If they would all invest this time in designing a house based upon a generic base, people would have thousands of unique designs to pick from.
