Taco is one of the first young creative entrepreneurs who came to live in this multicultural district in 2010. The original inhabitants moved because of the demolition, and their homes were temporarily occupied by musicians, artists and students. After his house was demolished, Taco’s 'green' heart was beating faster with a new housing challenge. Together you will go for a walk to look at the first energy-neutral homes in Kanaleneiland.
