tackling school space shortages — delivering new schools using thelatest 3D BIM software — profile of a BREEAM Excellent school in Wales

— specifying hygienic safety flooring — water saving technology

T he technology specified on this projectwas originally developed for theshort-term rental of temporary structuresfor the events and exhibitions industry. Nowthe creative team at the company behind thesolution, Neptunus, has designed astate-of-the-art apartment block which inappearance and quality is virtually impossibleto distinguish from a permanent building, yethas the capability to be dismantled andre-erected at other locations. It took just 14 weeks to construct thebuilding at Panningen, Limburg — a small townabout 30 minutes from the city of Eindhoven.The building has 16 two-room and fourthree-room apartments, which are all fullyequipped. It has been developed as atemporary housing project for the Municipalityof Peel and Mass and the Wonen LimburgHousing Association.

The ‘recyclable flats’ have caught theimagination of the public, with all 20apartments allocated within weeks of thehousing provider opening a ‘hotline’ for peopleurgently needing living space. Peel and MassAlderman Arno Janssen comments: “Withtemporary buildings you can be flexible at anytime regarding the need for living space. Ifdemographical developments lead to the factthat in 10 years there are no apartmentsneeded in the vicinity of Panningen, we caneasily relocate the building to another villageor give it another purpose.”The company behind the technology, whichhas its headquarters at Kessel in theNetherlands, came up with the concept afterbeing challenged by local authorities in Hollandto find a solution to meet the country’s

affordable housing crisis. Dorrie Eilers,Neptunus director, says: “The Netherlands hasa shortage of housing accommodation whichparticularly affects young people who are newto the housing market, people who find itdifficult to afford a mortgage or people whoare going through a divorce.

Flexible solution“The local authority was unsure about buildinga permanent apartment block but we were ableto offer a semi-permanent solution. It caneither be removed when it is no longer requiredor can be dismantled and transferred toanother location, depending on demand.“The accommodation is ideal for peoplelooking for a short-term home such asex-students or even people who may have soldtheir house and need a temporary home beforemoving into permanent accommodation.Tenants won’t be able to stay in theapartments indefinitely, they are short-termsolutions for people in difficulty who will beexpected to find a permanent home so theirapartments will be freed up for others to use.” The Flexolution system, which has a 20-yearplus life span, is made from reuseable andrecyclable, eco-friendly materials, includingdurable and ecological ground insulation forthe foundations and solar panel heating. The

modern looking structure features aluminiumcolumns and a wooden façade with a solidwooden floor and wooden beams. Thebathrooms are similar to those designed forcruise ships in appearance. April Trasler, managing director of Neptunus’UK, says she hopes the innovative housingsolution created in Holland could be adoptedin the UK: “Holland is not alone in facing ashortage of affordable housing and we believethis solution could also be attractive for localauthorities in the UK to meet the growingdemand for accommodation.

“The Queen’s Speech in June highlightedthat housing is a critical element of the UKGovernment’s programme and there willcertainly be pressure on local councils andhousing associations to find cost-effective andspeedy solutions.”With ever bourgeoning housing waiting lists,the introduction of this new concept intemporary accommodation is extremely timely,offering a short-term respite for councils andsocial housing providers, whilst more permanent,long-term answers to the affordable housingissue are developed.
