Everyday life in Plushusene
Focus on what matters – make 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 shared interests, you’ll be able to focus on what really matters and make time for what’s important.

Community Coordinator
In each residential community, we have a community coordinator on staff. 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 happens 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 shared communication channel
The Plushusene app
The Plushusene app has been developed to strengthen community spirit and make it easy to take part in activities within the neighbourhood. It provides an 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 dedicated property manager who is closely involved in day-to-day operations and has a good knowledge of the development and its residents.
Property Services takes a structured approach to day-to-day operations within a centralised management 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 resource-sharing tool.
Communal facilities
Communal facilities and activities
At Plushusene, the Common House is a natural place to meet. It is open from early morning until late in the evening, so you can, for example, choose when it suits you to work out in the gym.
Shared facilities mean there is less you need to make room for in your own home. The gym has fitness equipment, shared tools are available in the workshop, and there is no need to rearrange your home when you have overnight guests.

The Common House
The Common House is the community’s main meeting place. The building, which covers 737 m², has two storeys with a passenger lift between them.
On the ground floor, you’ll find a commercial kitchen and dining hall, a multi-purpose hall and a workshop,
On the first floor, you’ll find a fitness room, a creative room, a lounge, a children’s play area, a shared office for the community coordinator and the caretaker, and a large roof terrace.
With a separate entrance from outside, there are also three guest rooms, which can be booked for overnight guests. This means you may not need an extra room in your own home that is only used occasionally – something worth considering when choosing the size of your home.

Activities in the Common House
The Common House offers 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 House also provides a venue for everything from film nights, talks, ball games, team training and fitness to creative activities, workshops, projects in the workshop, relaxing in the lounge with a newspaper and a coffee, and playing in the children’s corner.
In addition, we celebrate Shrove Tuesday, Halloween and Christmas, amongst other things, and we also hold car boot sales. Yes, we could go on and on…

Outdoor areas
In the green courtyards, work is being carried out to promote biodiversity and implement biological rainwater management solutions that channel water whilst creating good habitats for plants and insects.
There are large play areas where children can climb and practise their balance.
In front of the Common House, you’ll also find a conservatory, a greenhouse and a petanque court. There are raised beds next to the Common House’s kitchen.

Activities in the outdoor spaces
The playgrounds offer plenty of opportunities for climbing, building in the sand and balancing on 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.
The residents use the greenhouse and the raised beds to grow herbs, vegetables and flowers – depending on what the group decides. The edible produce can be used, amongst other things, for communal meals, and the children are also welcome to join in.

This is what the residents say
We have asked residents how they find life in the 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 been thinking that moving here now and building a long-lasting community will mean that it’ll still feel safe and secure when one of us is bound to end up on our own one day.

Resident, Plushusene
I’m glad that we live in a community with people of all ages. It’s a lively and dynamic place. We try to be there for the elderly and help organise children’s activities. In day-to-day life, it’s really convenient to be able to pop over to the communal dining area and just join in a meal. So we make sure to both enjoy ourselves and contribute, and we make good use of the community centre.

I thought it would be a bit difficult to settle in, as I’m quite shy when there are lots of people together. But that’s not how it turned out at all. After just a few weeks, I knew 40 new people.
Jytte
Resident, Plushusene
I hadn’t actually considered living in a shared house myself, but it’s just right for both me and my two children. There’s always a buzz here. It’s safe and cosy.
Wendy
Resident, Plushusene
I have a lovely family and good friends, but I don’t see them every day, of course. Here, I’m never alone unless I want to be. I’ve also made a really close friend here.

Resident, Plushusene
Even when the rain is drizzling and the sky is overcast, the community centre is buzzing with life. Two lads are playing football, and the room is all theirs – that’s how it is here: there’s always room for activity, laughter and togetherness. That’s why the place has ‘plus’ in its name – because there’s always something extra. A little something extra in the day, in the atmosphere, in the people around us. It’s so lovely to live somewhere where there’s life all day long and room for everyone ❤️
