Originating in Denmark in the late 1960s, the cohousing movement has since gained popularity across Europe and North America.
A new nonprofit initiative aims to expand cohousing opportunities in Ireland for individuals aged 55 and over, offering them a chance to downsize while making larger homes available for families in need.
Cohousing residents will own modern, low-maintenance homes designed for independent living, complemented by shared spaces such as a communal kitchen, dining area, guest accommodations, a gym, and gardens.
Unlike traditional assisted living or retirement communities, cohousing operates as a self-organised model where members collectively decide on key aspects, including site selection, architectural design, and shared amenities.
Originating in Denmark in the late 1960s, the cohousing movement has since gained popularity across Europe and North America.
The organisation is considering a number of potential sites, with one in particular highlighted in the Dublin 6 area.
Ana Dolan from the organisation explains more about the concept.
We will cover this in more detail on tomorrow morning's Kildare Today.
