Codesign

Codesign is an important part of the project as it imply empowerment of participants and also interesting and fun architecture that suits the person who is going to live in the house. Egnahemfabriken started to develop the codesign approach in 2018 (see Create your own home, Stenberg 2020 [download][ladda ner]) and further developed it in a number of subsequent research projects. In November 2021, Egnahemsfabriken also got the chance to visit one of the biggest role models when it comes to codesign and cobuilding: Svartlamon in Trondheim.

A compressed variant of the method was used for codesign of the community house, which was the first house designed by those who will live in the area.
