housing apart together

Housing Apart Together showcases the diversity of completed and planned collective housing projects in Flanders, from new buildings to repurposed existing buildings in both villages and cities. All of these projects present novel ways of living together while respecting each other's privacy. Residents appreciate spacious shared outdoor areas where they can sit, eat, play, and garden, together or alone. Staircases and corridors are often designed as additional outdoor spaces. The shared indoor areas vary from laundry rooms, multi-purpose rooms and bicycle parking to play areas, living rooms and kitchens, depending on the project.
