About us
The network consists of five organisations working for co-housing and co-building in the nordic countries. We are volunteering organisations that wants to make co-housing a common alternative in the housing sector, and to make co-building a common practice in the building sector. We think that cooperation across borders can lead to increased knowledge and learning. By cooperating we can share our best practices, and maybe even develop new and better models of building and living together. The nordics being similar in many ways, and different in others, makes it an ideal ground for cooperation and iterative processes.
