Engage in a personal 1:1 online conversation with Marianne, co-creator and long-time resident of a senior collective community in Roskilde. With more than 40 years of experience in Danish community building and collective living, Marianne shares first-hand insight into how intentional housing and shared spaces shape everyday life.
The community, built in 2009 and inspired by research on active senior housing in Japan, the Netherlands, Canada, and Denmark, is fully designed and operated by its residents. Today, it has a waiting list of several years and is often referenced as an example of how architecture, lifestyle, and shared values can work together in practice.
This 1:1 video conversation offers direct access to Marianne’s lived experience, not as theory, but as reality. It is an opportunity to explore how collective living supports independence, social connection, and long-term quality of life.
