Vers Beton: ‘SAWA suitable for future generations of residents’
May 17, 2021In a recent opinion piece for Vers Beton, Andrea Prins advocates for greater flexibility in housing construction. With flexible floor plans, adhering to Open Building principles, SAWA stands as a prime example.
Robert Platje explains:
“Through an innovative floor construction where pipes are not fixed and inaccessible within the concrete, but rather embedded in a gravel layer atop the structural floor, residents gain the flexibility to freely arrange rooms, and even wet areas and the kitchen. (…) This free configurability and ‘detachable’ nature of walls and installations ensure these homes meet current housing demands as well as those of future generations of residents.”
