DUWO strives to find a fair home for all students, regardless of their background or nationality. This is why we not only constantly work towards increasing the supply of affordable student housing, but also realise that this requires providing you with a reliable service and a lifestyle experience that suits the life you’ll be leading as a student. Because DUWO is a non-profit organisation, we are able to focus on achieving these aims on an entirely non-commercial basis. We’ve been doing this for almost three-quarters of a century, so we know what our students want and need. With these insights we can not only build, rent and manage sustainable student homes at a fair price, but also as a place where all students will feel at home.
We can offer accommodation in both large and small student apartments and houses. In Amsterdam, Delft, The Hague, Leiden, Amstelveen, Haarlem, Deventer and Wageningen. Either sharing rooms with house mates or in a self-contained house. Together with other student housing providers, our listings can be found on ROOM.NL. A nationwide platform for student rooms and houses.
Community building
An attractively furnished living room, where you can enjoy relaxing, gaming or studying with your room mates. The common rooms are becoming increasingly important spaces in large student buildings, where they greatly contribute to a feeling of community coherence. This is why, together with the students, we work hard on refurbishing many common rooms in our buildings, so that residents can more easily make friends in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
We continue to build
Thanks to our extensive experience in developing projects for both new buildings and renovations, we are able to design and deliver such projects more quickly and efficiently. This is how we build modern residential buildings that fit the housing needs of students. We do everything possible to do this at or near educational institutions and campus locations. With the current severe shortage of housing, our biggest challenge is to constantly increase our supply. In the National Student Housing Action Plan [Landelijk Actieplan Studentenhuisvesting], agreements have been reached to provide an additional 60,000 affordable student residences between 2022 and 2030.
Together, we are working towards a better future and towards meeting the climate targets by 2050. Every new-build must therefore be sustainable, however, our existing properties must also meet sustainability requirements in the near future. Innovative technology plays an important role here, and the behaviour of our clients, ourselves and our partners also contributes to a large extent. Our contributions towards sustainability are obtained through all-embracing measures, such as insulation and sustainable heat sources, and also through less comprehensive measures in the shorter term, such as shower technology and smart heating thermostats.
A fair house is, above all, a safe home. We both provide a (socially) safe environment for our students and pay great attention to the architectural quality of the buildings. Fire safety is of paramount importance here. We also want to offer an attractive and pleasant living environment, in which residents can live together in comfort and help support each other when needed. Naturally, our colleagues are always ready to provide assistance.
