This is about a group of people who deselected the housing stock offered on the housing market and instead formed an association to build the house of their dreams.
They dreamt of a welcoming and beautiful house. A house that inspired to spontaneous meetings between people of all ages, from different places and with varying conditions. They also wanted an energy efficient and enviromentally friendly building, supporting a sustainable lifestyle.
