Everyday life in Plushusene
Focus on what matters – time for what matters
At Plushusene, you live close to others, and there is always someone around. This brings an added sense of security to everyday life.
Residents help each other with the little things – walking the dog, taking in a parcel, hanging a picture or sharing a useful tip. These everyday encounters also create opportunities for conversation, discovering shared interests and forming new relationships.
With a low-maintenance home, close to shops, schools, public transport, the town centre and, not least, other residents with whom you can share your daily life, exchange experiences and pursue your interests, you’ll be able to focus on what really matters and make time for it.

Community Coordinator
In each residential community, we employ a community coordinator. The coordinator is the day-to-day point of contact, whose role is to organise activities that engage all resident groups and foster a sense of community.
Activities are developed on an ongoing basis, based on the residents’ interests and wishes – and usually in collaboration with the residents themselves. In this way, the residents themselves help to shape the community and what takes place within it. The community coordinator also supports resident-led activities, which play a major part in everyday life.
The coordinator is also responsible for showing vacant flats to potential new residents.

The Plushusene app
The Plushusene app has been developed to strengthen community spirit and make it easy to take part in activities within the housing community. It provides a clear overview, encourages participation and brings people closer together – even in the midst of a busy daily life.
You can also keep up to date via a screen in the Common House.
Your community coordinator will help you get started and is always on hand to help.

Property Services
Each housing community has a permanent caretaker who is closely involved in day-to-day operations and has a good knowledge of the estate and its residents.
Property Services takes a structured approach to day-to-day operations within a shared operational system and is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the exterior of the buildings and the communal outdoor areas, rectifying faults and defects, and coordinating with external partners. Property Services is also responsible for the sharing tool.

Communal facilities and activities
In Hvidovre, there are no fewer than two Common Houses, covering a total of over 930 m². They are situated so that there’s never far to go to a meeting place – no matter where you live. You are welcome to use both community centres, no matter where your home is situated within the Plushusene estate.
The two Common Houses share the same welcoming style and colour scheme, but are furnished differently. One of the Common Houses is built of wood, which helps to create a warm and natural atmosphere.
The houses are open from early morning until late in the evening, so you have plenty of opportunity to choose when you want to work out in the gym, for example.
Shared facilities also mean there is less you need to make room for in your own home. Fitness equipment and shared tools are available in the workshop, and there is no need to rearrange your home when you have overnight guests.
The outdoor spaces are also designed for socialising and activities.

The Common House on Randøjevej – over 700 m² of socialising, activities and community life
The Common House is the natural hub of the residential community and provides a setting for everything from communal meals and creative activities to exercise, play and a friendly chat with the neighbours. The building is spread over two floors, with a passenger lift connecting them.
On the ground floor are the large production kitchen and the dining hall, which offer plenty of space for communal meals and events. Here you’ll also find the multi-purpose hall and the workshop with shared tools.
The first floor offers space for both activities and relaxation, with a gym, a creative room, a lounge and a children’s play area. There is also a shared office for the community coordinator and the caretaker, as well as a large roof terrace.
If you have family or friends coming to stay, there are also three guest rooms, each with four beds. Residents can book these rooms for overnight guests.

Activities in the Common Houses
The Common Houses offer plenty of opportunities for activities.
One of these is communal dining, which is optional and paid for by the residents who take part. Here, you can share healthy food, stories, laughter and, from time to time, a kitchen shift with your neighbours.
We have a flexible meal club concept with different roles, making it possible for as many people as possible to take part. If you want to join a meal, you contribute by helping out as part of a cooking group. Often, however, you can simply sit down and enjoy the meal, giving you a welcome break from the practical tasks of everyday life.
The Common Houses also provide a setting for everything from film nights, talks, ball games, team training and fitness to creative activities, table tennis, badminton, basketball, workshops, projects in the workshop, relaxing in the lounge with a newspaper and a coffee, and playing in the children’s den.
In addition, we celebrate Shrovetide, Halloween and Christmas, amongst other things, and we also hold car boot sales. Yes, we could go on and on…

Outdoor space on Randøjevej
The outdoor spaces on Randøjevej are designed to promote biodiversity, and trees, grasses and various recreational areas create a green setting for relaxation and socialising.
Close to the Common House on Randøjevej, there is also a conservatory with a table, chairs and a seating area.
Next to the orangery are raised beds for growing vegetables and an area for the youngest children with a playhouse, seesaws and a sandpit.
On the opposite side of the Common House, there is a large playground where children can practise their balance, climb, jump and have fun.
The outdoor spaces therefore offer excellent opportunities for activity, relaxation and socialising close to home.

The Common House on Sørgekåbevej – over 200 m² of flexibility and a sense of community
The smaller Common House is a modern timber-framed building that provides a cosy setting for both spontaneous get-togethers in everyday life and planned activities.
Here you’ll find a multi-purpose room with space for everything from games, play and table tennis to yoga, bingo, meetings and events. The lounge, which features a kitchenette, has cosy seating areas where you can settle down for a cup of coffee or a chat with your neighbours. On the first floor is the children’s den, which is perfect for play, games and reading aloud.
The Common House also has two guest rooms, which can accommodate two and four overnight guests respectively, and which residents can book for family and friends.
Right on the doorstep, the community life continues with a terrace and outdoor fitness facilities.

Outdoor spaces on Sørgekåbevej and
Kejserkåbevej
In the outdoor spaces along Randøjevej, the focus is on biodiversity, and trees, grasses and various recreational areas create a green setting for relaxation and socialising.
Close to the Common House on Sørgekåbevej lies the orangery – a popular meeting place where residents gather for coffee and games or simply to enjoy the green surroundings.
The orangery is furnished with a table, chairs and a seating area.
You’ll also find a playground, designed for play, physical activity and shared experiences for young and old alike.
There’s also an outdoor fitness area.

Activities in the outdoor spaces
In the playgrounds and the spaces between the blocks, there is plenty of room to climb, play hide-and-seek, build in the sand and balance on the play equipment.
Throughout the outdoor areas, you’ll find picnic tables where residents can meet for a cup of coffee, enjoy food they have brought along or simply stop for a spontaneous chat. And when the weather calls for a little more shelter, the orangery provides a cosy place to gather and extends the outdoor season.
Herbs, vegetables and flowers are grown in the community gardens – depending on what the Community Garden Group decides. The edible produce from the gardens can be used, amongst other things, for communal meals, and the children are also welcome to take part.
Outdoor fitness offers opportunities for both individual training and group activities, using equipment that helps improve fitness, strength, balance and mobility.

This is what the residents say
We have asked residents how they find life in the Plushusene:
I thought it would be a bit difficult to settle in, as I’m quite shy when there are lots of people around. But that’s not how it turned out at all. After just a few weeks, I’d met 40 new people.
Jytte
Resident, Plushusene
We would definitely have lived a more isolated life and probably not got to know any new people if we hadn’t found this community here.
Daniel
Resident, Plushusene
I love living here! I’ve made loads of great friends and acquaintances who share my interests. I work from home and really appreciate the fact that there’s always someone at home when I need a break and a chat.
We’ve thought that moving here now and building a long-term community will mean that it’ll still be safe and comfortable when one of us is bound to end up on our own one day.
Bitten
Resident, Plushusene
Here’s a concept that suits me perfectly at this stage of my life. My new rented flat requires very little maintenance, and the concept involves no obligations other than those I choose to take on. That said, I’d like to contribute a lot – that’s what I’m used to. I think of the Plushusene as a small village offering opportunities for social interaction.
