Moos: A Green and Social Housing Revolution

The name Moos stands for "In the Middle Of Our Street" - derived from the iconic song by Madness - and embodies the goal of creating a vibrant community where everyone feels at home. Moos' mission is to solve the Dutch housing crisis in a social and sustainable way by creating and building high-quality homes for everyone. The prefabricated homes by Moos are circular and modular and, if necessary, fully demountable and reusable.

Moos Euterpe was the first Moos project to be completed.

It is a social housing project is located in Maasland, a small village under the smoke of Rotterdam known for its close-knit community. The architecture, designed by Concrete and Moos, is driven by the goal of crafting a space that instils pride in residents and creates a sense of connection within community. 
Moos Euterpe accommodates 30 housing units for both small and large families since the units have different sizes. Accommodating students, Ukrainian refugees, and regular home seekers. The complex is comprised of two buildings facing each other. In the middle of the two buildings there is a garden which acts as the connecting and social heart of the complex. The architecture incorporates a step-back facade, transforming galleries into verandas. This feature provides plenty of space for residents’ wishes and personalisation. Beyond individual expression, this design element emphasises the importance of the transition between public and private spaces, fostering connections between neighbors.

Concrete has been a partner in Moos since its inception in 2020, contributing greatly to the development of the concept, architecture, and branding. Several projects are currently underway with approximately 500 homes being built in the near future.
