Urbanization, population growth and ageing populations all put immense pressure on our major cities. In collaboration with SPACE10 we explore how shared living might provide solutions to these challenge.
With IMAGINE we explore how we can design shared-living spaces that not only make life more affordable, but also enable a better and more sustainable life for residents. We identify and share prevailing trends and best practices of shared living that has recently sprung up and developed in northwestern Europe, Japan and North America.
PUBLICATION
In the publication we offer insights and showcase the work of many pioneering individuals in the field. We strive to provoke discussions about how we might (re-)design and build new realities that promote well-being and improve the spaces we inhabit in terms of liveability, accessibility and resource efficiency.
Lange Eng in Albertslund, just outside Copenhagen, is one of the largest co-housing communities in Denmark. Completed in 2009, it was initiated, funded and constructed by the residents themselves, and is in many ways an updated version of traditional Danish co-housing from the 1970s.
Mehr Als Wohnen is Switzerland’s biggest co-operative housing project. It was originally founded by more than 35 housing co-operatives and now comprises more than 60 out of 120 co-operatives operating in Zurich.
Share House LT Josai in Nagoya, Japan encourages residents to interact in various ways. The house consists of 13 identical private bedrooms and various shared areas, dispersed over a series of vertical spaces making creative use of the building.
The publication identifies four themes that are essential to making shared living happen: the need to rethink business models, mobilise digital tools, design for sharing and building community capacity. Each theme is presented with concrete ideas, solutions and best practice studies.
The aim is to inspire people to rethink how we design our future homes, neighbourhoods and cities to improve our quality of life and tackle pressing challenges such as rising inequality, climate change and urban loneliness.

"Living together, experiencing things together, sharing things with each other, is what really creates memories and happiness."
— Matthias Hollwich, Architect
"To spearhead more shared-living examples we must engage the stakeholders that plan and develop housing. We must inspire new mind-sets, tools and methods into the world of development. We need to build a movement – and maybe institutionalise it."
— Christian Pagh, Partner, Urgent.Agency

In collaboration with SPACE10 we explore whether “shared living” can provide solutions to some of the challenges we’ll face in our new urban realities.
