Stoer Huus

Stoer Huus is a co-living project located within the city limits of Brugge, featuring 27 units surrounding a renovated classified villa that serves as a communal house. The concept, referred to as 'cohousing,' encourages a community-oriented living experience where individuals and families enjoy their own private spaces while also sharing communal areas and amenities. This arrangement aims to foster a sense of neighborhood and togetherness, reminiscent of historic village life, where residents actively engage with one another to combat feelings of isolation commonly found in traditional single-family homes. Cohousing at Stoer Huus offers privacy alongside communal living, allowing for both independence and shared experiences. Residents maintain full ownership of their units but contribute to the management of shared facilities, promoting a balance between communal harmony and personal space. Importantly, Stoer Huus distinguishes itself from traditional communes and other communal living arrangements, such as caregiving housing, by maintaining individual ownership and decision-making rights within a modern co-living environment. Designed with an ecological focus, Stoer Huus benefits from a central location within Brugge, providing easy access to essential services such as bakeries and butcher shops, all within walking or biking distance. The property also includes a spacious shared garden and private outdoor spaces, encouraging outdoor activities and community interaction. Although currently full, prospective residents can express interest in joining this community, highlighting the ongoing demand for alternative living arrangements that emphasize collaboration and neighborly connections.
