Kollektivhuset Färdknäppen is a cohousing project located in Stockholm, Sweden, designed for individuals in the second half of their lives. The project aims to provide a community-based living environment where residents can maintain autonomy and quality of life without relying heavily on municipal services. The building, owned by a municipal housing company, has 43 apartments ranging from 38 to 74 square meters, each with a kitchen. Common spaces include a central kitchen, dining room, living room, and various hobby rooms. Residents participate in the design process and manage the common areas, which encourages a sense of community and mutual support. They also engage in shared activities like group cooking, gardening, and maintenance tasks. This shared approach helps reduce costs and promotes sustainability. The project has been successful in reducing energy consumption and waste, and it serves as a model for sustainable and socially supportive housing. Färdknäppen's unique approach has been studied and recognized for its innovative approach to housing and community building.
