HEIJMANS ONE:
THE MOVABLE HOUSE FOR SINGLE-PERSON HOUSEHOLDS
The Heijmans ONE living concept provides a solution to these issues:
It offers high quality, affordable, independent housing for the Not-Quite
generation and enables temporary use of paused landscapes in the city.
The movable Heijmans ONE is equipped with all the necessary facilities:
kitchen, bathroom, spacious living room with loft, separate bedroom
and a private front door with an outdoor terrace.

CORE VALUES

Quality
A complete house, equipped with kitchen, bathroom and toilet.
A spacious living area with lots of natural light.
An energy-efficient home, due to the use of photovoltaic panels integrated into
the roof.
Freedom
Living on a prime location, in or near the city centre, with a garden or terrace.
No permanent commitment; rather, a temporary rental contract.
A sustainable house with the option to re-use the house at different locations.
Independence
Rent for 700,- per month (target rent), leaving enough budget to enjoy the
finer things in life.
A place of their own to live as they like, without any consideration of

ARCHITECTURE
As a designer, I believe prefabricated architecture can beautifully
balance quality, experience and economic feasibility. The prevention of a
homogenous Construction Site Trailer complex was one of the biggest
challenges in this type of movable housing. How can we give the occupant a
sense of individuality? Not just by switching the box volumes, this calls for a
varied housing landscape that subtly makes space for variation.

LEGISLATION
The placing of a Heijmans ONE house is a temporary exemption from
the destined plan of the land (if the ground does not have a residential
designation). This temporary exemption applies for five years, and from
November 1st 2015 this is extended to 10 years. This temporary exemption
application follows a regular procedure (8 weeks) allowing a quick transition
to placement.
DEPLOYMENT
Would it be possible to use the Heijmans ONE as temporary housing for 8.5 m
home owners during renovation, or as houses for expats, or housing for
recreational purposes? Heijmans, municipalities and corporations have a
large number of particularly suitable areas available.
