Shangrileeds – Helping Build Cohousing in Leeds
What is Cohousing?
In a cohousing development each household has its own home while there also spaces and facilities shared with the other households, e.g. a common house containing shared kitchen, dining room, laundry etc., and often bike sheds, workshop, gardens.
A cohousing development is created and managed by its residents.
See Cohousing Explained for a brief video explanation of cohousing.
