  1. So, this is a real good use for mansions and estates everywhere -- #CommunityHousing !

    We all share a 15-acre Georgian mansion for the price of a two-bed house

    Natalie Grice, 29 August 2026

    "Dreams of living in a Georgian manor house with 15 acres of grounds would usually be associated with a big lottery win.

    "But for the residents of Dol-llys Hall on the outskirts of Llanidloes, Powys, no windfall was necessary.

    "The Grade II listed building is home to a collection of ordinary people who have chosen to live cooperatively - sharing responsibility for maintaining the home and its grounds and trying to live as sustainably as possible.

    " 'You have got a ready-made village mentality where people just help each other out,' says Louise Robinson, one of the longest serving of 10 residents at the hall.

    " 'There's six other flats going 'what can we do?' And that means a lot."
    Louise Nicholson is a middle-aged white woman with shoulder length dark grey hair. She wears grey framed photo-reactive glasses, a light blue v-neck t-shirt with a lily pad white emblem on the front. She is smiling at the camera. Behind her is the main entrance to Dol-llys Hall. There are two dark wooden doors with arched fanlights above which open from the middle of a curved porch-type entrance. The building is painted yellowy-cream. There are arched windows to the left of the door visible. A mop handle and a piece of wooden furniture can be seen to the right of the doors.

    "The hall, which has served as a school and a care home as well as a former stately home over the years, now holds seven flats within its walls and a number of #communal living areas and #SharedFacilities like washing machines and heating.

    "Louise first came across Dol-llys after she was made redundant from her insurance job in London. She found herself spending more and more time away from the city, enjoying walking in the rural countryside, and realised she wanted to live there permanently.

    " 'I'm a single person, so moving to a country village on your own is not that easy,' she says.

    " 'Somebody mentioned [intentional] communities and said 'have you heard about them?''

    "After investigating quite a few, she knew she did not want to live somewhere where she only had a bedroom and everything else was shared. And at Dol-llys, where she moved in early 2020, she found the perfect combination of community and privacy.

    " 'We term ourselves as #cohousing, because we all have our separate flats,' she says, and that the set-up is not a commune.

    " 'We share the grounds, we share the common rooms, we share responsibilities and decision-making, but we all have our front doors, which I think is important to everybody who chooses to live here.' "

  2. @da5nsy way to go, Danny! Greetings from Cohousing The Reef in Brussels. Totally different project (scale, ownership model, idea of #cohousing but your booklet resonates. Wishing you the best of luck!

    We are documenting what we are learning about cohousing in our forum. I took the liberty of adding a small post about Perennial: edgeryders.eu/t/perennial-a-sm.

    We try to document cohousing projects in general: edgeryders.eu/tag/cohousing-kn.

    Our own website: thereef.brussels.

  3. This new subsidized apartment complex in Berlin was made exclusively for #lesbians and #bisexual women

    The 72 units are joined by an #LGBTQ+ cultural center, neighborhood cafe, and event spaces. #cohousing #lgbtqComunity

  4. My #cohousing group in #Brussels is committed to openness of information, in the spirit of making it easier for the people who will come after us to form and successfully run cohousing groups. It's already difficult enough as it is, without having to redo the work that can be taken from elsewhere!

    In line with this commitment, we have now published the statute of the company we created to run the construction site.

  5. Fedi friends, I have an offer and a request.

    I am part of a cohousing group approaching the finishing line to build a wonderful cohousing in Brussels. We are called The Reef, in tribute to the diversity of commensal species that live together in a real coral reef. We also want to acknowledge the world's great coral reefs, now in danger, and remember them in our daily lives.

  6. L'Institut Balear d'Habitatge (IBAVI) ha acceptat una proposta de Niu Ètic i REAS Balears per a la cessió d'una parcel·la al municipi menorquí de Es Mercadal per al primer projecte d'habitatge cooperatiu en cessió d'ús en sòl públic de les Illes Balears.

    És un gran repte que ens omple d'il·lusió i de responsabilitat.

    Però per abordar-ho hem decidit ajornar fins després de l'estiu els tallers formatius previstos a Menorca i Mallorca.

    Seguirem informant!

  7. My #cohousing group scheduled an intergenerational, intercultural viewing of #StarWars . ❤️

  8. Many rural #cohousing initiatives assume a warm climate, where people walk outside between buildings.

    These are two early-draft designs for modularly-expandable cohousing buildings that are comfortable and navigable even in the height of winter.

    Also with winter in mind, these are designed for passive solar. All units point in the same direction.

  9. Wer eine Wohngemeinschaft sucht, ist nicht in erster Linie auf der Suche nach einem Preisnachlass.Suchen Sie nach einem Wohnumfeld, das Sicherheit, Geselligkeit, flexible Vertragsbedingungen und gepflegte Räumlichkeiten bietet. Das hat natürlich seinen Preis. Dieser ist aber zweitrangig im Vergleich zum empfundenen Wert.

  12. So… Not being active on Meta anymore: where would be a good place to find likeminded people for a yet-to-be-found-or-started co-housing project in Brussels?

  13. 🏡 ¿Quiénes formamos Bioketa?

    Ane (descrita por Mikel): emociones sin restricción. Bondad. Conversaciones con sustancia. Ingeniero medioambiental, danza movimiento terapeuta y formada en comunicación no violenta, entre otros. Convivir en varias comunidades le cambió para siempre. Aprendiendo a ser madre. (Ane reconoce): me gusta socializar, pero a veces esto me saca de mi centro. Me cuesta aplicar la idea "mejor hecho que perfecto". Tiendo a necesitar un gurú (o referencia externa a la que otorgo autoridad) que corrobore algo que intuyo.

    Mikel (descrito por Ane): observador por naturaleza y de la naturaleza. Honestidad y escucha del cuerpo. Si un tema le enamora, es capaz de focalizarse muchísimo en ello, aprendiendo y creando de manera autodidacta y uniendo ese ámbito con otros más dispares. Formación en ingeniería, mantenimiento industrial y acondicionamiento físico. Una juventud rural le dejo huella de por vida. Una huerta y unas gallinas reavivaron su sueño rural. (Mikel reconoce): mi atención se va mucho a "lo mejorable" o "males prevenibles". Esto, a veces es útil y a veces conflictivo cuando afecta a otras personas. Por eso, agradezco que cada persona me ponga límites. Para la gestión emocional, uso la comida más de lo que me gustaría. A Ane no le gusta que doy mucho más rango a aquello que se ha demostrado científicamente.

    Lur: hijo de Ane y Mikel, nacido en 2025. Le gusta mamar y estar en brazos. Las hojas de los árboles le llaman especialmente la atención.

    ¿Te gustaría convivir con nosotros?

  14. 🏡 Would you like to live in a community project? Do the principles of permaculture, Nonviolent Communication, and sociocracy resonate with you? Would you like to join us on the south side of Gorbea Natural Park? We have 8 ha of idyllic land with easy access to the city. We are looking for housemates to explore compatibility with and agree upon the founding statutes.

  15. I'd like to live in a community of geeks and bibliophiles. Something like a co-housing community combined with a science fiction convention. Does such a thing exist?
