Plushusene is an intergenerational community living concept developed by NREP and the former CASA Group (now part of Nordstern). Located near Copenhagen, Denmark, the first Plushusene community was established in Hedehusene in 2020. This concept combines private dwellings with shared community spaces, fostering interaction among residents of diverse ages and family types.
The initiative was born from surveys indicating that seniors preferred living in mixed-age communities rather than solely with peers. Each Plushusene site includes 139 homes, ranging from row houses to apartment buildings, and a large community house for shared activities. These communities are designed to provide a balance of privacy and social interaction, with a dedicated host facilitating activities based on residents' interests.
Plushusene emphasizes sustainability, with buildings certified to reduce environmental impact. The project aims to create several such communities across Denmark, focusing on modern serviced living that supports residents' well-being. The organization collaborates with local municipalities and uses an app to manage community activities and communication. Despite details about the website plushusene.dk being unavailable, Plushusene is recognized for its innovative approach to community-based living, blending private living with communal spaces and activities.
