We are creators of positive
living experiences

We are idealists who believe that living spaces should grow to support the well-being of their residents, their communities, and the planet.

Principles

We anchored our design approach on six principles that foster environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and lasting quality.   

1

An evolutive design

An evolutive design is vital because it allows your home to adapt as your life changes. This flexibility ensures that your living space remains relevant and functional, reducing the need for extensive renovations and minimizing waste.

By choosing an evolutive design, you are investing in a home that grows with you, offering long-term comfort and utility.

2

Open space flexibility

Open space flexibility is important because it maximizes the potential of your living environment.

By allowing you to easily modify and expand your space, you can create a home that perfectly suits your needs at any given time. This adaptability enhances your living experience, providing a sense of freedom and creativity in how you use your space.

3

Integrated Building Experience

Our integrated building experience ensures a seamless and cohesive construction process. We manage every aspect of the build, from concept to completion to maintain high standards of quality and coordination.

This approach not only results in a superior value in your home, but it also allows you to have an incredible buying experience.

4

Mostly all natural materials

The choice of materials is crucial for sustainability. These materials not only minimize the environmental impact but also contribute to a healthier living environment for you and your love ones.

By selecting sustainable, bio sourced, or recycled materials, we ensure that we reduce the carbon footprint of your home, while ensuring that we minimize the long-term environmental impact of your home.

5

Disassemble and Repair

The ability to disassemble and repair your home (Versa House only) is essential for sustainability.

This principle promotes a circular economy by allowing for easy maintenance, updates, and reuse of materials. High repairability reduces waste and extends the lifespan of your home, ensuring that it remains functional and performant over the years.

6

Made to Last

Durability is a key component of sustainable design. Built to have an extended lifecycle reduces the need for frequent repairs and replacements, saving resources and costs over time.

By using high-quality materials and construction techniques, we ensure that your home withstands the test of time, providing lasting value and peace of mind.

When we founded Goodwill Habitat, our goal was to create living spaces that redefine how we live. The introduction of the GW Versa and GW Vista marks the beginning of our lifelong journey.
