A societal disconnect between generations exists in the UK, one which has been driven by rising house prices and a lack of suitable homes for the elderly wishing to downsize.

This intergenerational cohousing community focuses on re-establishing the links between different generations. It promotes a more sustainable way of living by facilitating the social cohesion of these generations for mutual dependence.

This new community is centred around a collaborative economy, where the cultivation, cooking and eating of food in shared facilities promotes interaction between generations. The scheme has a productive landscape, using concepts from permaculture to cultivate food while reducing impact on the planet. The kitchen and garden act as community promoters and enhancers, reinforcing a community spirit.
