NICE Concept
Timber construction is not a trend or an experiment, but the future.
With a proven timber construction concept, NICE Developers demonstrates NICE Developers sustainable, circular timber high-rise buildings can be both functional and attractive. This new standard ensures Paris Proof residential buildings. Choosing the NICE Concept therefore NICE Concept choosing a better future.
Timber construction has been widely discussed and has seen unprecedented growth in recent years. It is not a temporary trend, but a new way of seeing, thinking, and acting. This is confirmed by new legislation and regulations worldwide. For example, the French government decided that all new public, state-funded buildings must consist of at least 50% timber. This is part of France's sustainability policy. The Amsterdam region will also implement 20% of its housing production in timber construction from 2025, increasing to 50% by 2050. What is your ambition? And how will you achieve this?
If there is still doubt or disagreement within your team or organization, now is the time to bring about change. Every municipality, housing corporation, or investor who feels responsible for the future, now exclusively invests in Paris Proof residential buildings. To contribute to a sustainable future. With the goal of: CO22 reducing emissions, contributing to increased biodiversity, realizing affordable housing for all income groups, and combating loneliness. These are, without exception, the societal themes of today and the future.
The answer is NICE
To facilitate this change, NICE Developers developed NICE Developers NICE Concept. This concept not only fulfills a housing need, but also contributes to a better climate, biodiversity, health, and social inclusivity. These are gifts for the neighborhood, which are embraced by local residents. With this concept, NICE Developers to the questions of municipalities, corporations, investors, and residents.
Five essential features of the NICE Concept
- Climate-friendly
Thanks to timber construction and the use of bio-based and recycled materials, NICE Buildings have NICE Buildings lower carbon footprint and store CO2 instead of emitting them. In this way, NICE Buildings make NICE Buildings positive contribution to the climate. - Socially Inclusive
By uniting diverse income groups in a mix of affordable housing in the social and mid-rental segments and free-sector homes, NICE contributes to a socially inclusive society. In addition to housing, the emphasis is on communal facilities to encourage encounters between residents and neighbors, fostering a sense of mutual responsibility and preventing loneliness.
that promote biodiversity By developing green buildings, we contribute to improving biodiversity. By integrating a rich variety and the right selection of plants and nesting boxes into the building, NICE Buildings provide NICE Buildings safe haven and food for insects and birds.- Future-proof and circular
The NICE Concept based on the principle of 'open construction': a flexible system of columns and beams, creating maximum freedom of layout and allowing the buildings to be adapted in the future. In addition, the concept is circular: the buildings can be dismantled, allowing the materials to be reused in the long term. - Feasible and fast
Building with wood offers opportunities for fundamental change in the development and construction chain, enabling the NICE Concept to be NICE Concept and more competitive than traditional (concrete) construction. This effectiveness is supported by four key aspects:
– acquired knowledge and experience and a proven timber construction concept;
– chain integration between architect, developer, builder, and timber supplier for
efficiency and cost savings;
– focus on quality improvement rather than profit maximization;
– careful integration and active involvement of the neighborhood, making NICE Buildings valuable and sustainable asset to the community.
NICE Concept: different shapes and functions
The NICE Concept to change, and various types of models NICE Concept possible within the NICE Concept . SAWA demonstrates that the concept is feasible and achievable. After SAWA, we developed three efficient main models, namely a building in a disc model, a tower model, and a 'chunk'. All these variants have the same basic principles: a complete wooden structure for CO2-storage, circular construction, abundant greenery for biodiversity and well-being, affordable housing, and communal spaces for community building. Multiple functions are possible, with the building initially being developed as an office building, for example, and then transforming into residential housing over time. Plus a mix of functions with living, working, and amenities. An important general advantage of the NICE Concept that a quick scan (within four weeks) at an early stage provides more insight into the development possibilities and financial feasibility.

Have NICE perform a quick scan, and we will assess within approximately 4 weeks whether the plan is viable.
Building differently is possible and starts with your choice
NICE's timber construction concept is innovative, sustainable, healthy, and certified. It contributes to a healthy living environment for current and future generations, representing a significant step in (inter)national sustainability goals. Furthermore, it proves that things can truly be done differently.
Would you also like to contribute to a better future and invest in homes that offer more than just living space? We envision a future full of NICE Buildings would be happy to tell you more about it.
