Biobased construction with CLT in Delft: The Urban Woods as a new standard
A wooden residential tower that changes the city
On the Tweemolentjeskade in Delft, The Urban Woods is creating a new way of living. Here comes biobased construction along with urban ambition. Not a traditional residential tower, but a living building where sustainable construction, health and community are key.

Timber construction as a carrier of sustainable architecture
Sustainable construction only really gains strength when we opt for biobased construction and smart, circular solutions. That's why we embrace timber construction: from CLT construction Netherlands to build solid wood and engineered timber buildings NL.
If timber construction architect we are designing an entirely wooden residential tower here. The use of CLT ensures CO₂ storage, fewer emissions and a light, efficient construction.

Urban densification with quality of life
The Urban Woods shows how urban densification and quality of life go hand in hand. Smart construction within the existing city creates space without expanding to the countryside.

show how we strengthen the city and its surroundings.
Nature-inclusive and healthy living in wood
In The Urban Woods, well-being is key. Natural materials, lots of daylight and greenery contribute to a healthy living environment.
This is in line with nature-inclusive construction and climate-adaptive design, in which buildings actively contribute to biodiversity and comfort.

CLT builds the Netherlands as an engine for innovation
Inside CLT construction Netherlands the demand for scalable, sustainable solutions is growing. The Urban Woods proves that timber construction is also possible at heights.
With engineered timber buildings NL and mass timber creates a building system that is light, fast and circular.

Circular construction and smart material choices
In addition to timber construction, it plays circular construction in the Netherlands an important role. Materials are chosen consciously, with attention to reuse and minimal impact.

In this way, we not only build new ones, but also strengthen the existing city.
Community and encounter as part of design
Architecture is more than just building. The Urban Woods encourages encounter and connection.
Shared spaces and a strong relationship with the environment create a place where people feel at home. This is the power of sustainable architecture Netherlands: adding social and ecological value.
