Cohousing originated from a Scandinavian way of combining private and shared space designed to enrich everyone’s living experience. It’s a sustainable neighbourhood of apartments and townhouses designed to incorporate community facilities and gardens. Housing will be privately owned, some may be available to rent and eligible for government subsidised rent.

Live Sustainably Without Stress

Would you like to live in a home that does the sustainable work for you? NewCoh aims to encompass design principles and raw materials to produce buildings that are supremely energy and water efficient. Such buildings allow you to live well and sleep better in comfortable indoor temperatures that are stable year-round. Loggias and terraces can be used to incorporate to provide beautiful views, facilitate natural ventilation and allow natural lighting to reach the furthest corners of internal rooms.

Live a Greener Dream

Live in a neighbourhood where the biological power of plants to enhance living spaces is recognised and integrated. NewCoh would focus on bringing nature into the city to complement and soften built structures. Shared outdoor spaces may also include community vegetable gardens, fruit trees and composts, helping to contribute to food security and further lighten our footprint on the planet.

Live Privately, Build Community

The goal of NewCoh members is to build a community that will include people from all ages and walks of life. We envision buildings that will become places in which to linger, chat and get to know your neighbours. As well as your private dwelling and outdoor space, plenty of shared space and facilities would be an extension of your home, without the sole burden of upkeep. It’s a way of living that offers you privacy and actively promotes neighbourliness.

Live the good life in a central location

Live In a Central Location

NewCoh aims to build our community in a central city suburb. We would live with a big backyard that incorporates extras that won’t take half a lifetime to accrue: this could include gardens, a swing for the kids, a barbecue, shaded seating, a big shed-come-workshop.

Your privately owned home would be amplified by a Common House with a kitchen and dining area for neighbours to share meals and stories.

What else? You’ll help decide - maybe a big movie screen, guest accommodation, a “loud room” for budding musos – a host of possibilities within reach.
