Reverting social atomization
Learning from cohousing to combat loneliness
Master thesis
(2025)
-
J.G. Boendermaker, O. Klijn, R. Kuijlenburg, Brook Teklehaimanot Haileselassie
The Netherlands is facing a double crisis: a shortage of affordable housing and rising levels of loneliness. Traditional housing at the moment does not seem to help mitigate loneliness and isolation. Cohousing — an approach that combines private living with the sharing of space, amenities and ideologies — offers a potential solution. The graduation project explores if and in what ways cohousing could effectively address both housing affordability and social isolation. Subsequently, findings from the research are applied to a design for a housing complex in the neighbourhood of Tanthof, Delft.
