€25.000 development grant:
with many thanks to our subsidies committee!
Amsterdam, 20 OCT 2023
YESSS! Our board members invited David Zuilhof and Ugur Pekdemir of Rabobank's sustainable living departement to the plot of our future building and received a €25.000 cheque. This way, Rabobank is supporting us during this tricky phase where we have to pay our architect and advisors to continue, but do not yet have the finances available for the full project.

First Woonwolk dinner a great success
Amsterdam, 9 July 2023
The first Woonwolk benefit dinner turned out to be a great success: we enjoyed every minute of it! The 3-course dinner at Sagra was intended as a test for larger gatherings and was open to anyone interested in our goals as a housing cooperative. We were touched and honored by the great turnout.
The evening offered a wonderful preview of how Woonwolk can bring people together who want to make living together in Amsterdam more accessible again. The dinner initiated a wave of connection and we are busy processing the many new registrations.
We would like to thank everyone for coming. Your questions, ideas and inspirations will help move our project forward. Your donations will help us to start the crowdfunding campaign that will allow us to realize our dream home. 💚
We’ve officially signed the option agreement!
Amsterdam, 29 June 2023
Together with the Municipality of Amsterdam, Woonwolk has agreed to proceed with the development of our residential building in Buiksloterham. Several housing cooperatives presented their ideas for self-building on lot 19, between Papaverweg and Johan van Hasseltkade; we and De Bonte Hulst – our future neighbors! – emerged as winners. Our three core values played an important role: community, sustainability, and art & culture.
We will now continue with the design for our building. This should be finished by the end of 2024 so that the construction of our wooden dream house can begin in 2025.
