In multiple cities with polytechnics and universities, companies have difficulty finding the proper well-educated candidates for their vacancies. These young adults do not stay within the city’s proximity to reside and work after having obtained their bachelor or master degree. Apart from job opportunities, it might be that they cannot find proper housing. Two municipalities felt the urge to let us study the housing requirements of this particular group of young adults and to design housing concepts for them. Two research and design teams were formed. Without obtaining a strict delineation and with both teams having mutual interests and collaborative meetings, it can be said that one team focused slightly more on architectural design and the municipality of Enschede and a second team focused more or less on city planning and the municipality of Deventer. Within the time available, it was not possible by means of a prototype to prove that housing constructed with our specifications regarding surroundings and the building itself really helps the companies, but in this paper our research in coming to promising designs for housing concepts, that just might seduce these young adults, are disseminated.
