Spacebox

Spacebox was a brand name for a lightweight modular system of semi-permanent or permanent building units, quickly realizable and relocatable. And, thanks to an extensive color palette, they provided a cheerful note in the often boring housing landscape.

The Spacebox building system was designed in 2003 by Mart de Jong of design agency De Vijf in The Hague. The spacebox has a good design. By linking the prefabricated spaceboxes, large homes were also possible. The Spacebox became an icon and the historical impact of this product on our company cannot be underestimated.

The Spacebox was developed as a solution to make temporary student housing possible. At the time, the waiting lists for renting a student room were very long and people were looking for alternative solutions.

We offered that. A completely independent unit, with a funky and appealing appearance. Holland Composites relieved the housing associations by taking on the entire process from A to Z; from permit application to final placement, connection to public facilities and general delivery. Many serious university cities have a location where Spaceboxes have been placed, many hundreds have been produced.

Since November 2023, the Spacebox concept has undergone an upgrade: Qspace. These ready-made living solutions can now be ordered via the special Qspace -website.
