A home on your own plot. Your family close by, with a front door of their own.
A real home on your own plot, for your parents, your children or yourself. Permanent, biobased and built in 16 weeks. Not a home for a phase of life, but a home for life.
means months of hassle, contractors and uncertainty.
Tiny houses and chalets
are written off within 15 to 25 years.
The housing market
has no place for your child and no single-level home for your parents.
What changes?
It is not about the home. It is about what it makes possible.
Now
Your parents want to live smaller and on one level, preferably close to their children. But a suitable home nearby does not exist, or is not affordable.
Soon
Your parents have a home of their own on your plot, with their own front door, their own garden and complete privacy. You see each other when it suits. They stay independent and you keep your own lives.
Now
Your child is an adult and still lives in their old bedroom. Renting is unaffordable and a first home to buy is nowhere to be found.
Soon
A home of their own on the plot, with their own kitchen and bathroom. Independent and still close by. And the home stays in the family.
Now
The house has become too big. And moving means saying goodbye to the place where your children grew up.
Soon
You live on one level, warm in winter and cool in summer. The children take over the big house. Everyone stays in the place that already feels like home.
Why Aventura
Not a home for a phase. A home for life.
Cheap seems smart, until you look beyond the purchase price. This is the difference with a chalet or tiny house.

What residents say
They already live in a biobased home of ours.
“We are still happy every day with our decision to invest in a home from BioBased Housing. It has been worth every euro. No draughts, always cosy and extremely low heating costs. Still in doubt? Forget traditional building.”
Roel and Joyce van RemmenSemi-detached house, Houten
“In every season the temperature and humidity feel pleasant and natural. It feels like a safe and comfortable cocoon.”
Sanne SchepensDetached house, Hilvarenbeek
“We enjoy optimal living comfort. That comes from the pleasant indoor climate, which stays stable all year round, and the low monthly costs.”
Robert and Tamara VernooijDetached house, Houten
20years building together
Our story
We build homes the way we build them for ourselves.
We are Luc and Wout de Wit. Brothers, building together for twenty years. We do not believe in building principles because they sound good. We believe in them because we live in them ourselves.
Architect Wout extended his own house with a biobased rooftop addition. He lives and works there every day. In 2022 Luc built a biobased extension to his home. He soon noticed that he preferred being there in every season.
“We do not want to believe that biobased performs better. We want to prove it.”Luc and Wout de Wit

Honest from the start
We are not the cheapest. That is a deliberate choice.
A home that lasts generations costs more than a chalet that is written off after twenty years. We would rather have a good conversation with the right people than many conversations about the lowest price.
This suits us
You want the home to last generations
You choose comfort, health and low energy costs
You want one point of contact instead of five parties
You think about your family twenty years from now
This does not
You are looking for the lowest price
You want a temporary solution
You expect everything to be ready without preparation
2027 waiting list
In 2027 we build twenty homes. Deliberately.
Every home gets the same attention as the homes we built for ourselves. That is why we keep the number small. The first one is sold. Whoever signs up first, is scheduled first.

Isn't this just a luxury chalet?
No. An Aventura is a permanent home with its own front door, kitchen and bathroom. In the Comfort and Prestige finishing it meets the Dutch Building Decree. A chalet is made for temporary use and depreciates.
Isn't this too expensive?
Look at what the home costs while you live in it, not only at the purchase. With the low energy demand, low maintenance and a lifespan of 100+ years, a cheap solution often ends up more expensive. We are deliberately not the cheapest.
What about the permit?
The home is designed to be able to qualify as permit-free: 3 metres high, flat roof and well under 100 m². Under Dutch rules, an extra home for permanent residence usually requires a permit today. A permit-free family home is expected from 1 January 2027, but that is not guaranteed. You apply for a permit yourself; we share the architectural documents free of charge.
What do I arrange and what do you do?
We do production, transport, lifting, placement and connection. You take care of the foundation, utility lines up to 1 metre from the facade, an accessible spot for the crane truck and, if needed, the permit. For the foundation we introduce you to a foundation company.
How quickly will the home be on my plot?
After your order we build the home in 16 weeks in the factory. Placement on your plot usually takes 1 to 2 days. The foundation and connections are already in place by then.
How long does the home last?
A chalet or tiny house lasts 15 to 25 years. An Aventura is built to the quality of traditional timber-frame construction. Count on 100+ years, provided it is maintained in good time and with care.
A home of your own. In a place that already feels like home.
