Collective Housing models offer the opportunity to build vibrant and connected communities that embody values of connection, sustainability and well-being. Whether in the form of cohousing, co-living, community land trusts, cooperatives, or papakainga — or variations of these, collective housing models are an important addition to any housing eco-system and Aotearoa New Zealand needs more of them.

The theme of this conference is to acknowledge the current barriers and how we can bring about change to create more successful collective housing projects. 

This year’s keynote speakers are Robert Temmel, Ian Mitchell, and Jade Kake. The format of the day will include these speakers, a panel of project presentations, a political panel with representatives from Labour, National, Act, Greens, and TOP, and then small group sessions on specialist topics.

Running in parallel to the conference is an exhibition of work in the Collective Housing area curated by Mark Southcombe, Associate Professor, FNZIA, School of Architecture Te Kura Waihanga, Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington. The exhibition combines exemplar student work and visions with innovative and significant established and emerging collective housing projects, so both those learning and those applying knowledge are exhibited together.

CoHo Hui 3 is a chance to join a diverse group of innovators, future residents, project leads, professionals, industry leaders, and public servants who are passionate about working together to drive the evolution of collective housing in Aotearoa New Zealand.
