Frame­works for qual­ity of life

Therefore, Realdania has taken the initiative called “Spaces and Communities for Older People.” Vandkunsten has outlined the initial plans for the first senior co-housing community, which will be constructed through a partnership between Albertslund Municipality, KAB, the housing association AKB Albertslund, and the Realdania association. As the foundation for the co-housing community, we have developed a value program that provides suggestions for what everyday communities can focus on. The value program is based on a series of interviews, which indicate, among other things, that many men need specific activities to gather around, the ability to withdraw from the community, and the opportunity to socialize with others on their own terms. Therefore, space is created to collectively develop specific facilities such as workshops, fitness rooms, and a billiards area.
