The wood skeleton build on a grid of 3,6m framed by a carpenter in six days. Roofing, plumbing, and installation don by professionals, all else by owners.

A Gothic townhouse (partly protected) from 1430, where two courtyards has been transformed in a co-housing project with 11 apartments and common spaces for children, workshop, common office etc. 50 % of the work has been done in collective self-building. The first project where collective self-building on this scale was done in a historic building. By architects Feldkirch/ Vorarlberg.

A logical realization of “building and living communally”, developed by the architect Wolfgang Juen. 20% of the building is built by the community owners, to which the architect belongs. The building consist of different layers. Private row houses in one side, and a private winter garden to the other, with shared space inbetween

A project developet by Walter Unterreiner in close cooporation with the residents, which consist of individual homes within a communal frame. The project included self-building by the residents, with an radical cost efficiency and ecological approach. The architect delivered a scares frame which the resident could fill out as they wished.

“Every citizen and every family needs to be assured of a dwelling that satisfies their needs” In order to raise the necessary capital, the members had to acquire a share in the cooperative.

In addition, the members had to provide a so-called ”building aid” (self-help) before the allocation of an apartment - either at the AWG building project itself or generally in the local construction industry.

E c o n o m i c REASONS FOR SELF-BUILDING

Cooperative housing in the early nineteen hundred became the predecessor for social housing as we know it today. The original idea was to create a housing situation that was better than the misserable conditions of renting and give them a possibility to partly own their own flat. This was built as apartment blocks.

HYBRID Acquire a share and can change the interior as they want

SOC I A L H OU SI N G

As a reaction to the expensive, small housing opportunities in the cities, Niels Stellan Høm who was the first person in Denmark, to open his own firm, HØM HUSE, where he made it possible for unskilled men and women, to build their own houses. The house were delivered in prefabricated elements, which could easily be put up in a weekend.

Won the first price in a architectural competition about rethinking the apartment block. The idea was to crate an artificial landscape of concrete slabs, with room for various types of building constructions. The buildings would express the social life lived in the area, but the project, made by Susanne Ussing and Carsten Hoff, was never realized.

A co-living project by Vandkunsten, where the residents were their own builder. Today the community is still functioning they way it was designed and can be described as a good and inclusive neighborhood community. Every day the residents gather for the communal dinner, where they all takes turn in cooking.

Vester Skerninge A new form of village could develop without debt, property speculations, and without burdening nature. The residents could self-build by using cheap materials such as reused windows, straw, flax, mussles and pudding of unburned clay.

Organic co-living village with room for diversity and variety. Interaction across ages and a sustainable way of living, is the key.

Work together with Eco-communities to influence the society we live in today.

“ We have the possibility to crate a whole new atmosphere. What we see in architecture today is sad and soporific. ” - Emil, self-builder Tankefuld
