First Co-design workshop with the Architect

Wooncoop members brainstorming over how they want their building to look

We’ve found our architect: Andrea Verdecchia from Time to Access. An experienced architecture practice with three Wooncoops already completed. Their expertise makes them the right partner to guide us through this exciting process.

This past March, we held our first codesign with them. They introduced their previous work and shared their initial interpretation of our vision for House of Hope in a model that fits the tender.

We also took part in an engaging workshop together with our new collaborators from Odensehuis and Volkshuizen, where members worked in groups to design ideas for the building on large cardboard sheets. These sessions sparked valuable conversations and helped bring forward what matters most to us—from spaces for growing food to DIY and shared community areas, resulting in a multi generational apartment building for and by H-Buurt residents.

We’re excited for the next Codesign. With all these ideas coming together, we look forward to seeing how Time to Access will help shape and translate our collective vision and new inputs into a more detailed design.
