In this function we were co-creating RE:BORN’s DNA, building our impact strategy & management system and developing concepts for positive social change through real estate development. The other half of the week, I was occupied with developing (impact first) real estate. Here I implemented RE:FUTURE’s innovative ideas in practice. As a impact developer I helped developing the Satelliet project (part of the DNB) - one of Netherlands’ first RE:LOCATE’s. An effective combination between idealism and realism. ❤️ I’ve enjoyed it and learned a lot! Show less

Our vision since 2015: transform and disrupt the building industry to make it more affordable and sustainable, to bring happiness to as many people as possible… Show more With my brother Laurens van der Wal, I founded Walden: a design and development studio for small, sustainable and adventurous architecture. Projects I’ve worked on: selfsufficient tiny houses, tree houses, ecovillages, rooftop villages (dakdorpen), small transformation projects and sustainable prefab building systems. Our vision since 2015: transform and disrupt the building industry to make it more affordable and sustainable, to bring happiness to as many people as possible (“less house, more life”) and to improve our beautiful world while doing so. Due to other opportunities, I’ve stopped working at Walden and passed on the company to my brother, who keeps on doing nice projects out of our name!Check out our work at www.waldenstudio.nl.
