In the Netherlands, housing cooperatives are on the rise. This type of housing is seen as a potential solution to the current housing crisis through the revaluation of shared ownership and collective construction.
Good examples are essential for increasing awareness and demand for cooperative living. “The Architecture of Housing Cooperatives” compares successful examples from Germany, where this type of housing has a long tradition, with more recent Dutch projects. The book shows how housing cooperatives in both countries are established, managed, and how they are experienced by residents in the long term.
“The Architecture of Housing Cooperatives” includes 10 German and 5 Dutch examples and covers the entire process: from project organization to architecture, from legal forms to financing models, and from completion to residents’ experiences. The book presents recent developments through detailed analyses, project documentation, floor plans, and interviews with involved designers and residents.
