Rudbeckia – a co-living house in Rosendal, Uppsala.
A contemporary collective housing project centred on community, shared resources and sustainable living.
Rudbeckia is located in the Rosendal district of Uppsala and is a co-living house developed in close dialogue with the Rudbeckia association. The project builds on the Swedish tradition of collective housing, where shared spaces complement private apartments and support a more social and resource-efficient way of living.
Future residents have been involved in shaping the design of the building, helping to develop architectural solutions that support both community and everyday life. Generous shared areas on the ground floor create a welcoming environment for meetings and activities while ensuring that the building is active throughout much of the day.
Shared facilities – such as cooking, growing plants and sharing tools and resources – simplify everyday life and support a more sustainable lifestyle. In a co-living environment, waste management and recycling, particularly of food waste, can also be handled more efficiently.
A spacious green rooftop terrace provides a natural meeting place for residents. Together with the rooftop pavilion, it offers a shared space for social activities, cultivation and views over the surrounding neighbourhood.
