Welcome the tranquility of nature to your "new home."
Small-scale living and natural surroundings come together harmoniously here and we call it the Reitdiep Lodge. Be surrounded by the soothing sound of boats passing by on the Reitdiep and experience the serenity of a sustainable lifestyle.
At the Reitdiep Lodge, we embrace a lifestyle that is in harmony with nature. Our small-scale residential complex offers not only a living space, but also a connection to the greenery and water around us. Discover our vision for nature-inclusive living, climate adaptation and circular sustainability.
At the Reitdiep Lodge, we cherish the belief that living in harmony with nature is an essential part of a fulfilling life. Our mission is to create a form of living where residents not only find a roof over their heads, but also experience a sense of home with circular sustainability in a nature-rich environment. Maybe it sounds dreamy but when everyone has a positive attitude and strives to be peaceful, happiness at this location smiles at you! Even in the middle of a big city like Groningen, with many high-rise buildings around you, it is possible to become the pearl in a string of new buildings on the Friesestraatweg.
At present there is nothing in the City of Groningen that meets all the needs of our time. And yet we all want the same thing: cozy and comfortable living but with a living room and a separate bedroom and a bathroom. And although no one wants to pay the highest rent, for our privacy we want no noise from the neighbors, maximum insulation of the house, low maintenance, good internet and for security reasons an alarm system for emergencies. That is why we, as project developers, want to show that with the help of modern techniques and materials we can make something very special of this unique location by transforming the over 100 year old "manor farm" into a place by the water to be envied.
Our spot on the waterfront will be completely filled with greenery. Greenery on and around the house. We will reuse the rainwater from the roof for our garden. We would prefer to live energy-neutral, so we will use electricity and water as smartly as possible. We are building gas-free. Our apartments will be energy-plus and virtually climate-neutral, we will use an all-electric heat pump (reducing CO2 emissions), we will install home automation and solar panels. The exterior of our insulated new building will be clad with Neolife. Neolife we get specially from France and is an unprecedented ecological material that combines vegetable and mineral in construction material with low environmental impact. This innovation is a low-carbon material with a high recycled wood fiber content. It is the most environmentally friendly cladding in new construction and is once again 100% recyclable.
Each living space is delivered unfurnished with PVC laminate, curtain rails (for choosing your own curtains), a safe, internet connection, video doorbell, complete super deluxe kitchen with extractor hood, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, oven microwave, double sink with Quooker Fusion, induction cooking with the least CO2 emissions, lots of storage space in the two-meter long luxury kitchen. Triple insulation glass, plastic window frames, underfloor heating and cooling, air purification system and air conditioning.
We are not actually allowed to discriminate, yet we have a certain target group in mind to make this dream a reality.
How fun and enjoyable it could be to entice older people, who currently live in a large house, to move these people into the Reitdiep Lodge.
Then another 23 houses will become available in the housing market and these older people can move to a brand new and smaller house with all the conveniences of our time where they feel completely at ease.
It would be nice if these people would love gardening and also want to get involved in our green dream. And so we have many other nice ideas to give these older people another pleasant future.......
Save Lodge's mission, together with its partners Save Plastics and City Grass, is to make a livable world. A world where we make smart use of what is already there.
Waste becomes raw material to build with. And nature provides us with everything we need to live comfortably.
Why can't we live climate-positive? In harmony with each other and with nature. Where we can live affordably by building future-proof and sharing central facilities. And where we provide a vital community where social cohesion and community spirit are central.
Save Lodge is greening cities vertically. We do that with the Save Wall, the Save Lodge and the Save Divider Wall. We make our climate-smart solutions from regional plastic waste that we save from incineration.
We fill our stackable flower boxes with peat-free garden soil that we make by fermenting green waste, and we plant preferably hardy and native plants and water everything computer-controlled with captured rainwater.
This is how we build a livable world together with gray, green and blue waste streams. Great for people, animals and the planet!
Everyone is talking about building. According to the media, the housing problem is almost impossible to solve and young people are the victims. When politicians take seriously the possibility of building, anything is possible. Despite high interest rates and construction costs that are almost unaffordable, we want to become an example to do our part to realize 23 rental homes in the middle sector.
They understood the assignment. Thanks in part to the good relationship between municipality, architect, Green Advisor and client can start building something very special. The "Reitdiep Lodge" project has been so minutely weighed by all that it could hardly be better in the decades to come. Everyone wants it.
Waiting for the Municipality of Groningen to kick off.....
- Anything goes
