Entry Description

SAWA, the healthiest building in the Netherlands, sets a new standard in circular construction with a 50 metres high modular construction system, built entirely in wood (CLT). The building is distinguished by the generous green terraces with which it enhances the neighborhood’s biodiversity. SAWA comprises 109 homes, 50 of which are mid-rent. The housing concept is enriched by various solutions for shared use. SAWA will be an example project for new generations, an important step in the sustainability goals and provide demonstrable evidence that things can be done differently.
