WoZoCo

WoZoCo

WoZoCo is the first housing complex realized by MVRDV. The client, a large housing corporation, required 100 units for elderly residents in a proposal that made use of a gallery-type circulation. After preliminary studies revealed that the site could not accommodate the client’s request MVRDV was invited to participate in the project. A half-joking solution, presented at the first meeting, whereby additional units were ‘glued’ to the outer side of the main building volume drew surprising attention. The client saw the potential and MVRDV rose to the challenge.
