Dinner with Marianne & Henning: Community Collective in Roskilde
Højen 22, 4000 Roskilde
Danish, English
Every Silvers Dinner is hosted by someone who has lived a full life and wants to share what they have learned through time. Now, they open their homes for a few guests at a time to share a homemade meal and life inspiration.
This dinner takes place in a collective community in Roskilde, hosted by Marianne and Henning. The community was designed and built in 2009 with a focus on architecture and collective life, it has a waiting list of several years to join. It is inspired by research on housing for active seniors in Japan, the Netherlands, Canada and Denmark. It's a community designed and run by the people who live there.
You take a 30-minute train to Roskilde, followed by a short walk through the forest, and then you arrive. Before dinner, they’ll give a short tour and explain how the community works, then you will sit around the table over share a homecooked meal and conversations on the main themes from their life.

Marianne and Henning have been married for over 50 years. They live in the collective by choice because they wanted this lifestyle. Marianne is known in the community for her cooking, especially Italian food, which she’s spent years learning and adapting. Their children live in Italy, so she also speaks some Italian. Henning is an educational leader who who enjoys showing people how the collective works: the shared spaces, the balance of the facilities, and the mix of independence and community.
