Building flexible houses with kind of ‘Lego bricks’

27 June 2016

Nezzt is a project of De Meeuw Oirschot and diederendirrix Eindhoven. A flexible construction system: it can be built, adjusted and taken down in parts.

In Amsterdam, the construction of a first project with Nezzt modules of De Meeuw in Oirschot is being discussed with a building corporation. In fact, commercial director Els van Mierop of De Meeuw and business associate Paul Diederen of diederendirrix would rather start in their home base Eindhoven. Therefore, there are discussions behind the scenes to build the first tower of Nezzt ‘building blocks’ during the Dutch Design Week in October.

“The building project’s innovative and flexible character is a perfect match for Eindhoven. And it can be applied anywhere: as a replacement in a row of houses, as a new housing development project in Meerhoven or as a residential tower on Strijp-S. Because the dwellings’ lay-out, the composition of the parts and the façade – from recycled plastic, stone strips or printed concrete – it can all be adjusted,” Diederen says.
