Ground is a collective space in Stockholm dedicated to practices of hospitality, convivial learning, and commoning. Emerging from the long term research project Commoning the Private, it offers a place to gather, study, and host conversations that blur the boundaries between domestic and public life. Ground functions as a living room for shared research, meals, readings, and assemblies — where knowledge is produced in relation, and private space becomes a site for collective reflection and action.
Through architectural interventions, study groups, and collective practices, Commoning the Private explores how the home can host forms of public engagement without being absorbed by institutional frameworks. It asks how acts of hosting, cooking, reading, and discussing together can generate political and spatial forms of co-ownership and responsibility. By inhabiting the threshold between the intimate and the collective, it proposes a pedagogy rooted in everyday life and an architecture grounded in shared use rather than private property.
