Scandinavian co-housing models

Scandinavian co-housing models are intentional communities where residents own private homes but share common spaces like kitchens, gardens, and social areas. Designed to foster collaboration and social connection, these arrangements emphasize sustainability, affordability, and a sense of community. Members typically participate in decision-making and maintenance, promoting mutual support. This model balances individual privacy with collective living, often incorporating eco-friendly practices. It’s a response to urban density and housing challenges, encouraging sustainable, inclusive, and socially connected lifestyles while maintaining private ownership within a cooperative framework.
