Health & Sustainability
Better for their planet
Consciously built for the future
Circular at heart
Most of the building is reusable. Because of the modular, demountable hull, we change the layout easily, if the future needs it. This house adapts. End of the lifecycle? Reuse the parts.
“So circular: simply disassemble and reuse.”
Made of wood
We are the hero of net-zero. The Woods are made of wood. Wooden hull, inner walls of flax and wood fiber as insulation material. So bio-based: this building simply grows back. It breathes.
PEFC, ISO 9001 & 14001
We’re certified — including for our environmental management. This is no boring paperwork. This is recognition. Reassurance.

Smart use of energy, heat & water
We are full of energy
As this building supplies its own. We generate it with solar panels and recover it from hot water and warm air. The energy is distributed wisely, thanks to smart sensors and high-tech solutions. Super isolation and energy saving hardware seal the deal.
“Smart sensors and high-tech solutions distribute energy wisely.”
Wasteless water
We store rainwater carefully and hold water longer thanks to special polder roofs. We reuse water for irrigation of the gardens, but also for our hotel room toilets. Yes: we treasure water.
Heat from underneath
There is a hot secret in our soil: we use the ground underneath the building for climate-control. A heat pump provides heating. In summer, the cold for cooling comes directly from that same ground. How cool is that? Super sustainably cool! It makes us look hot.
Energy from water, air and sun: wise and pure
Reducing water by reusing water
Retreat the heat from underneath: stay warm naturally

Welcome to the Wood life
Living in The Woods means living in wood. Wood in the interior reduces stress. It naturally ensures a balanced humidity, it is hypoallergenic, toxic-free and produces less dust. Wood’s naturally warm surface provides a pleasant feeling. Daily.

The Woods are about life
The birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees. And you. Yes, we turn roofs, gardens and even the walls into a green heaven for local animals. There is good stuff for all species, including for you, your tea, and your salad. After all, you are one of them. A wild life you have.
“Together we reactivate biodiversity in the city.”
Biologists are boss
The biologists of the Grow Squad help colonies grow in number and monitor this accurately. Boost that biodiversity. This is where nature meets the city.
Wild: bring back biodiversity and grow some colonies
Buildings wrapped in green: nature meets the city
Harvest your own veggies and pick that tea fresh
