“More should be able to fix their accommodation as they want,”
“Ekostuk, seniorprägel or a nice collective – more should have the opportunity to arrange shared accommodation as they want it. The building strikes a blow for byggemenskaper, where the people themselves are behind the building, and the authority is now proposing changes to facilitate.”
“Outside of the Panty is Lagnö – idyllic and scenic, right by the sea. Here is Lagnö stay, a house in which the residents have planned and ordered the building themselves without any third-party developer, in a so-called byggemenskap. It means that there is no housing involved.”
“It started with me and my wife saw this place, and got the idea to build a house here,” says Per Carleson, who together with his wife, Tin Carleson founded in Lagnö stay, a house with 19 co-operative tenancy.”
“It took time, but for a year and a half ago started building, and in August of this year was held the great opening ceremony.”
“Now, the association has 70 members. Not all of them live in the house right now, but want to be able to move into later. Lagnö bo want to have mixed tenants, although several are older, then it should certainly not be something for the old.”
” We are happy, for we have just found a family to one of the apartments.”
“the Focus is a nice community, music and farming. The tenants hang out and grow both in the garden and in the large conservatory, ” he says.”
“Construction has gone pretty easy, he thinks. But there was first a resistance in the environment against the house, ” says Per Carleson.”
“– the Municipality has been with us, they were very good there.”
“the Bill for the entire project ended at around 36 million for the 19 apartments and the well-proportioned common areas.”
“the Economy was as we planned,” says Per Carleson.”
“Now want the Board to strike a blow for this form of residential construction.”
“the Opportunity but not the solution.”
“We see this as a potential, but we are not saying that it is the solution to the housing crisis,” says Ulrika Stronger, an expert on the national housing Board.”
“She says that byggemenskaper is a way for different interest groups to design their homes according to their special requests and needs that the environmentally friendly house, äldrebostäder or homes for large, extended families.”
“Byggemenskaper is common in Germany, and means that individuals themselves come together and design his own house.”
“– for example, There may be a way for young retired people to design their accommodation. They are often knowledgeable and have the time. Thus freed up housing for others, ” says Ulrika Stronger.”
“today there are obstacles to such projects, but the Board is now proposing a number of facilitating measures.”
“– It’s partly funding, it is always difficult for new forms. But it is also the property or the land, it is difficult in the hot regions. We suggest that the obstacles in the municipalities ‘ markanvisningsregler to be removed for these, as, for example, references from previous projects, and that the municipalities shall offer byggklara plots.”
“the Municipalities can also actively promote byggemenskaper, through the appointment of correspondents and to set goals to promote them, according to the Building. In addition, because the funding often is of concern, local authorities can decide to charge the costs of its services to its byggkrediten can be lifted.”
“– Justice of this is also complicated. Where municipalities have a role to help, ” says Ulrika Stronger.”
“Byggemenskaper means that a group goes together and designing their accommodation. It doesn’t mean that the hammer and the nail itself, however, to design the house and determine the conditions for the accommodation.”
“tenure status can be, for example, condominium or cooperative tenancy, as in Lagnö stay.”
“today, there are just a handful of finished or ongoing projects. Municipalities can, however, do much to enable byggemenskaper, and to promote them and also actively initiate and support.”
“In Gothenburg, the city has set a target that 5% of the settlers settled shall be byggemenskaper.”
