"It takes a village to raise a child"—an age-old saying that emphasizes the power of community. Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, the essence of village life is disappearing. In collaboration with Cohousing Projects, we have reimagined this traditional concept, crafting a new part of Oostkamp where the spirit of "living apart together" can thrive.
Our vision reinvents village life for the 21st century, where neighbors can reconnect with one another and rediscover the joy of shared spaces. Situated between the bustling train station and the vibrant center of Oostkamp, this strategically located site offers unparalleled connectivity. But how do we transform this prime location into a vibrant new neighborhood? By prioritizing eco-friendly and sustainable design principles.
At Cohousing Oostkamp, social interactions are woven into the fabric of daily life, driven by a collective dedication to environmental stewardship. Sharing resources and services not only enriches the lives of residents but also extends sustainable practices to the wider community. Initiatives such as food cooperatives, car-sharing programs, and group purchases help create a lifestyle that reduces environmental impact while fostering a sense of togetherness.
