The past generation has built more than all previous generations combined. The houses got bigger, families got smaller and our lifestyle more consuming. Times however have changed so that nowadays we are faced with multiple social problems – such as aging and loneliness – and environmental problems. Living more social and reducing consumption is therefore crucial for our society nowadays, and suitable for the proposed location in the neighbourhood 'De Werven' in 'Almere Haven'. The focus on relationships, community and reducing resources led to the subject of cohousing; a residential community that shares resources, facilities and that undertakes joint activities. This type of living suits – and can even improve – social cohesion within Almere Haven and the feeling of being part of something. The original thought of ‘De Werven’ was to create small, social neighbourhoods within a larger residential neighbourhood. Implementing cohousing within this typology therefore suits the original intention. By changing the housing typologies a community is realised for different family situations suitable for all ages. For the transformation the present existing materials will be harvested and reused to establish a circular and low-energy living environment. An environment in which the individual is just as important as the community.
