Case
In Wageningen, the municipality has an ambition to create a place for biobased ‘Tiny Housing’. Already, a group of people (Tiny House Wageningen) have announced themselves as being interested in living in such houses. De Dreijen, the old campus of the Wageningen University, is mentioned as a possible suitable location for this project.
Investigation
Within this consultancy report, the consumer wishes and demands, the legal regulations, and options for financing biobased ‘Tiny houses’ on De Dreijen will be investigated. The team that works on this project has all the expertise for gaining the required information and put this to writing in a solid business case.
Suveys and interviews
Two consumer scientists will be researching consumer preferences through conducting surveys and interviews. One team member has experience regarding legal housing regulation and another team member has expertise on writing business cases.
Besides delivering a consultancy report, a presentation will be held where all interested parties are invited and the most important findings will be addressed.
