New: Quickscan for circular residential projects

July 14, 2025

How do you transition to biobased, sustainable, and social housing development?

Increasingly, municipalities, housing corporations, and investors are being inspired by SAWA – the circular timber residential building recently completed by NICE in Rotterdam. SAWA demonstrates that future-proof housing development is not only technically and financially feasible but can also offer genuine societal added value.

In SAWA, buyers and renters live side-by-side as neighbors. The vast majority of the mid-segment rental homes have been allocated to individuals in essential public professions – such as teachers and healthcare providers – who often struggle to find suitable housing in the city. SAWA is thus not only an innovative building but also a socially inclusive model for the city of the future.

Quickscan as a starting point for impactful circular housing development

The experience gained with SAWA is now being applied to new initiatives across the country. Together with municipalities, housing corporations, and investors, we explore the feasibility of circular timber construction projects that contribute to both the housing challenge and climate goals. Discover the potential of your location, request a Quickscan and gain rapid insight into opportunities for biobased construction.

Curious whether circular timber construction is also suitable for your location or portfolio?

Our Quickscan offers accessible and free insight into financial and spatial feasibility.
