Amidst the urban sprawl of Wallonia, a residents’ collective has built a small, alternative cohousing project called ‘Seucha’. Living and organic gardening go hand in hand on this plot near the station. What’s more, the ten terraced houses together offer an interesting showcase of ecological building techniques and energy-efficient solutions.

If you spend any time browsing websites full of architectural porn, you’ll come across an architect every day boasting about his latest detached villa ‘right in the heart of nature’. So eighties! The discourse that continues to glorify the seductive but unhealthy constructions of climate criminals with an architecture degree belongs to the past. In this respect, Seucha is a hopeful counterpoint.
