Topping gallery flat The Hague: smart densification with sustainable housing
New homes without new land
In The Hague, we show how the city can grow without expanding. By adding a gallery apartment, we are adding 14 modern homes to an existing structure.
With topping building and sustainable construction we use the space that already exists and contribute to a future-proof city.

Capping up as a strategy for urban densification
The housing challenge requires smart solutions. With urban densification we create extra living space without expanding to the countryside.
If building transformation architect and renovation architect Netherlands we combine topping up with the quality improvement of existing buildings.

Sustainable construction with wood and biobased solutions
Sustainable construction only really gains strength when we opt for biobased construction and smart, circular solutions. That's why we focus on timber construction: from CLT construction Netherlands upto engineered timber buildings NL.
If timber construction architect we design lightweight structures that fit perfectly on existing buildings and cause minimal stress.

Circular construction and reuse at the heart
With circular construction in the Netherlands and reuse of building materials we give existing buildings a second life.
If circular design architect we look at the use of materials and flexibility in conjunction.

Topping up housing in The Hague: sustainable extension to existing buildings
Building above the city
The city seems full, but still offers plenty of opportunities. With Top housing construction in the Netherlands we add homes where space is scarce.
The topping of this gallery flat in The Hague is a powerful example of how sustainable construction and smart design strategies come together.

Timber construction and CLT as accelerators of topping
Timber construction makes lifting faster and more efficient. With CLT construction Netherlands and building solid wood, lightweight structures with a high load-bearing capacity are created.
If architect timber construction we design solutions that are scalable and future-oriented.

Climate-adaptive and nature-inclusive living
A future-proof building takes the climate and environment into account. With climate-adaptive design and nature-inclusive construction creates a healthy living environment.
Green solutions and smart design choices contribute to comfort and biodiversity.
