Sensible development in Waterland

Based on our Water voor Wonen project, the combination of housing corporation Monnickendam (AWM) and USP property asked space&matter to jointly create a vision for housing in the Waterland region. The region is one of Hollands most picturesque landscapes with great historical and cultural value. Accordingly, new development asks for a conscientious planning approach with respect to nature and the authenticity of site. We are very excited to contribute to safeguarding this precious context by designing a sensible development-approach.
