Description

It is a co-housing project designed by and for residents above the age of 50.
It is a CPO (collective private commissioning) project which is a form of social housing in the Netherlands. The design was arrived at through close collaboration with the residents.
The individual homes have been customized as per residents needs whilst retaining the element of a community through the various shared facilities. A central shared building has a communal hobby room, guest room and laundry area for the residents to use collectively.
The buildings have been constructed as energy-neutral structures through use of sustainable materials and energy-efficient measures for heating.
The roofs are fitted with PV panels for electricity. The development doesn’t have a gas connection. Induction heating is used for daily needs.
A large green space has been planted with various types of landscapes such as a permaculture garden, natural meadow and a pond.
Residents can grow and consume their own vegetables and fruits which are grown in the shared garden.
