On November 18, 2025, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands opened the circular timber residential building SAWA in Rotterdam. The building comprises more than one hundred apartments and has been developed on a large scale using circular and biobased construction methods, with a focus on nature and affordable housing. Nearly half of the homes fall within the mid-range rental category. The concept also features shared facilities, including a vegetable garden, shared cars, and communal tools.
The design of SAWA is inspired by the terraced rice fields of Indonesia. The building has been conceived as a living ecosystem, in which biodiversity is given space. Integrated planters, native plants, and nesting boxes for birds and bats have been incorporated into the design.
Gorgeous! Love the final pic which demonstrates her sense of humour! The photos here show various colours for dress and hat, due to the lighting, but I think the first photo shows best the aubergine of the accessories and cherry red of the dress.
