wij_land Housing / Space&Matter

Wij_land is a pioneering self-build collective united by the desire to live more sustainably in a close-knit community of diverse residents. Initiators Mireille and Daniël have gone above and beyond to turn their vision into a reality. They sought the expertise of Space&Matter and Common City for the design and process guidance, aiming to bring together a group of self-proclaimed ‘pragmatic idealists’ and guide them in realising their dream homes. The result is a climate-adaptive residential building by the water on Centrumeiland, Amsterdam, with 26 varied homes and five communal spaces.
