Afgelopen weekend vond “C the Future” plaats op het Maak-terrein in Haarlem — een inspirerend evenement vol technische innovatieve ideeën en ontwikkelingen.

SIDstudio presenteerde daar de ontwikkelingen van MDLX, een modulair houten bouwsysteem.

Om kinderen actief bij deze ontwikkeling te betrekken, mochten zij spelen met de allereerste versie van het MDLX modulaire speelgoed. Dat bleek een groot succes!
Er ontstond een enorme variatie aan bouwwerken en sommige kinderen gebruikten de elementen op verrassende manieren: vloeren werden wanden, wanden werden bruggen en kolommen veranderden in schoorstenen.

Het was een prachtige dag vol creativiteit en verbeeldingskracht — ik heb alle vertrouwen in de toekomst!

Vanaf morgen gaat het nieuwe gebouw van ’t Smidshuus in Ysselsteyn officieel in gebruik. Een plek waar mensen met dementie of niet-aangeboren hersenletsel (NAH) in een warme, natuurlijke omgeving kunnen genieten van de dag. Een initiatief van Claudia Keijsers met grote betekenis.

Met veel zorg en liefde heeft MDLX dit gebouw gerealiseerd. Het modulaire houten gebouw ademt rust en natuur. De houten kolommen kun je niet voorbij lopen zonder ze even aan te raken.

Interview with Arjan Habraken of MDLX in “Houtbouw” magazine (September 2025).
MDLX together with CTB are building on behalf of Tiwos the 22 apartment complex Noordhoekring in Tilburg. In the magazine a view of the timber construction activities of MDLX.

The author of Brabants Dagblad cycles past it every day. He is full of praise for our wooden structure that is being erected in such a short time.

A new type of long span light railway viaduct in South Korea is studied. The project is conducted by ZJA, SIDstudio and IVinfra upon the request of GS Engineering and Construction and Korean Railroad Research Institute.

In the magazine “Bouwen met Staal” an extensive article has been published about this project and our visit to South Korea.

A”Voortaan” is a digital platform to accelerate the construction chain. It is a platform for a digital transformation where everyone can benefit from the change we are making in our industry.

Arjan Habraken has been asked to present his vision regarding modular timber construction.

The war in Ukraine affects everyone. What can we do? We can be there for when people need us. This certainly also applies to the (re-)construction of everything that has been lost.

Arjan Habraken has been asked to talk about possibilities for rebuilding Ukraine from his broad background at SIDstudio, MDLX and Eindhoven University of Technology. An important part of this was: which building system can the local people help build themselves so that independence and speed in the reconstruction is created.

Modular construction has been discussed extensively.

The construction of the new Montessori school in the Sluisbuurt started on Monday afternoon, April 15 2024.

Together with our colleagues from MDLX b.v., we visited the CLT factory of X-Works in Oberhonnefeld-Gierend. The purpose of our visit is to gain confidence in their production and to build a personal contact.

The work within SIDstudio is often related to timber construction. All projects with MDLX are smart wooden structures. To be able to make really thoughtful designs, it is simply crucial to know how the production is going. What is and isn’t possible.

Our visit has given us a lot of ideas, and certainly also relations with whom we want to carry out many more projects.

Today was the first day of C the Future at the MAAK site in Haarlem – where SIDstudio is located.
C The Future is the two-day event where technology, digitization, circularity, learning and innovation come together.

Arjan Habraken of SIDstudio gave a lecture on Circular Building. What challenges do we face, what developments are there and how is SIDstudio in collaboration with MDLX working on the latest developments in bio-based modular buildings? An extremely interesting lecture that eventually resulted in a fascinating conversation between all those present.

SIDstudio thanks the organization for this annual extremely educational event.
