Initial Situation.

In Grundlsee, vacant living space is scarce. Interested people – especially young families – put themselves on waiting lists to be informed about vacant space in the community. On the other hand, there are owners of underused residential property and generational houses who have potential space resources. Often, only a few or even single people live in these properties, and maintaining them can increasingly become a challenge. The desire to stay in one’s own home is considerable and the idea of permanently renting out part of the building is usually hardly conceivable. Are there new forms of living together that have a mutual benefit?

How can underused living space be opened up for a new synergetic living model? The demands of the younger generation on living space have changed due to altered work realities in the course of digitalization. Independence from a fixed place of work also allows for new housing concepts/models. The desire of the oldest generation to remain in their own homes is understandable. However, the associated tasks of maintaining the properties often make this difficult. How could a synergy be created here that meets the housing needs and desires of both parties? Would it be conceivable to think about “exchange models” and to create the spatial conditions? By helping with the maintenance, it would be possible to use the living space. What synergies can be created? What are the spatial and functional conditions under which such a model is possible? Where are the challenges? How could such new housing models look like in order to be an important step for the development of Grundlsee?
