Collaborative, Community-Oriented, Collective

CoHousing refers to self-organized, community-oriented and sustainable housing. Ideally, these projects are integrating and inclusive, non-speculative and open to the neighborhood. Often motivated by a search for ecological, affordable and socially designed homes, CoHousing supports collaborative and self-managed social architectures.
