THE ARCHITECTURE OF SHARING


From Crisis to Resilience





The First Swallow Cooperative
The First Swallow was the first social cooperative within the Shared Houses network to purchase a property, doing so in 2021. The group, currently comprising ten adults and four children, acquired a former inn located in Prague’s wider city center—a 19th-century building that had previously served as a cinema or a guesthouse.
