Heijmans ONE: moveable single person house
The Heijmans ONE shows how the market can be kept in motion by thinking in terms of temporary concepts. The product focuses on the Not-Quite generation, young professionals who have finished studying, got their first jobs, are single, and are looking for affordable housing. A house that signifies freedom, quality and independence. This complete house for one can be set up in a day on sites eventually destined for other purposes.
