Moos was founded in 2020 with a clear goal: solving the Dutch housing crisis in a sustainable way. An innovative housing concept aiming to create high-quality homes for everybody. 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.

Moos homes are build for the people who will live there. They envision a world where everyone has a nice, sustainable home; a home to be proud of, where people feel safe, and where they find a vibrant neighborhood around them. Next to the homes, Moos buildings always have a space where residents can come together, collaborate, or throw a neighborhood event in the courtyard. The basis for a community.

moos' house

Moos' house is built with a single system with an variety of layouts and sizes. Whether it stands there for 50 or 5 years, whether built for families, couples, or individuals—every form of living is possible. The building system is fully demountable, allowing to reuse the materials time and time again.

Moos buildings can go up to eighteen floors high, with homes that range from 22 to 110 square meters. The design of the floor plans started from the basic needs of people: a bed, a bathroom, a kitchen.

But a house only becomes a home when there is space for personal wishes, which is why all living floor plans are designed to be arranged by the residents themselves.

moos' beliefs

Moos’ aim is to solve both the housing shortage and the climate challenge in one go. The solution is already here. With their systemic way of building and focus on value, Moos builds sustainable homes that challenge the status quo. Everything is circular and modular. The homes are built with mainly bio-based materials, feature a smart energy system, and choose robust materials and local producers. Where possible, recycled materials are used.

moos’ family

A radically different housing system isn't created alone. Moos is a team of independent partners. All innovative experts in their own field. Everyone involved is equally responsible for the end result. Together, various disciplines and one goal are represented: to solve the housing shortage in a responsible way. Essential in the collaboration is striving to design for value creation rather than focusing on cost reduction. Innovation, quality, and circularity are the path to cost savings and scalability.



All partners produce the semi-finished products in their own established factories, after which Moos, in close collaboration, assembles a complete home in a single day on the Moos assembly line. The partners bear responsibility for the timely and careful assembly and delivery of their element. Easily scalable and maximum utilization of existing production capacity. Plus, the family remains involved in the usage phase and the reuse phase.
