The Dutch Mountains are designed based on services.
In addition to light, heat, and furniture, food, installations, and facades are also supplied as a service. This makes it easier to replace elements.
Self-sufficient and data-driven

The complex will be 440 meters long and will provide space for companies, apartments, conference centers, and a hotel. The complex is also equipped with a park. The Dutch Mountains become self-sufficient: energy water and waste recycling circuits are closed.
The load-bearing construction of the building is made of solid wood. This makes The Dutch Mountains the largest wooden building in the world according to the developers. The sustainable advantage of wood compared to other building materials is that it works as CO2 storage, while in the production of alternative materials such as steel and concrete, a lot of CO2 is emitted. Finally, the building is data-driven and driven by user experiences. Based on this, updates and upgrades are implemented. Even spaces within the building can easily have other functions.
The initiators hope to open the complex by 2021 at the latest.
