WE believe in 'Altruistic Sustainability'

Alkes Have - a community housing project for Boligselskabet Sjælland consisting of wooden, low-energi units distributed as a circular village with a central common garden containing both beehives, greenhouse and plantbeds ect.

Inspired by Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom's research into how people act when it comes to sharing resources, WE are these days exploring what the future resource communities might look like. By constructing buildings and communities that encourage the sharing of both social, economic and environmental resources, we try to address the UN's climate goals. Our vision is to ensure a sustainable architecture - while at the same time, we as individuals gain more from the communities than we each put in. We call it altruistic sustainability.
