Sustainable starter homes in Wijk bij Duurstede: A future-proof project captured in images
In Wijk bij Duurstede, Startblock has completed a groundbreaking project: 52 sustainable starter homes on the site of the former equestrian center ‘Het Kleine Ros’. These homes were designed with a strong focus on circularity and affordability, offering an innovative solution to the housing shortage. With this project, Startblock demonstrates how compact and efficient designs can contribute to high-quality, accessible housing for starters and urgent seekers.
Startblock’s homes are more than just places to live. These comfortable, circular, ready-made homes are fully produced in the factory in Emmeloord within six days. They are delivered complete, including a kitchen, bathroom, installations, and solar panels. Thanks to innovative industrial production methods and the use of electric trucks for transport, the homes are not only quickly installed but also sustainable in their realization. After just one day on-site, the homes are ready for occupancy.
For Startblock, we documented this remarkable project through architectural photography. Our images highlight the unique architecture and the careful integration of the homes into their surroundings. The photography emphasizes the compact, efficient designs and showcases how these homes contribute to a sustainable living environment. Every detail — from the solar panels on the roofs to the smart layout of the living spaces — has been meticulously captured.
With these circular homes, Startblock offers a tangible response to the growing housing shortage in the Netherlands. The project in Wijk bij Duurstede demonstrates how innovative construction methods, a sustainable approach, and affordability can go hand in hand. By rapidly delivering high-quality housing, Startblock enables an ever-growing group of starters and urgent seekers to access future-proof homes.
The 52 homes on the site of the former equestrian center ‘Het Kleine Ros’ are more than a construction project — they are an example of how the construction sector can help address societal challenges. Our architectural photography not only captures the aesthetics of the project but also tells the story of sustainability, affordability, and innovation that underpins these unique homes.
