Heime in Nærbyen 24/7
Nærbyen 24/7 in Sorgenfri is a living example of how social housing models, sharing, and proximity can create everyday life that is simpler, more sustainable, and more social. With everything close by and a rich range of shared spaces, this is a neighborhood that truly lives up to the ideals of the 15-minute city.
A neighborhood that turns sustainability into everyday practice
Located in Sorgenfri, just three kilometers south of Trondheim city center, Nærbyen 24/7 is a vibrant housing concept that combines privacy and community in a way that makes it easy to feel at home from day one. Students, young professionals, commuters, and newcomers live side by side, and many quickly find their place in an environment designed to make meeting, sharing, and participation effortless.
The architecture and organization of the building make it natural to move between private apartments and the many shared spaces. Large kitchens, dining areas, game rooms, cinema rooms, co-working spaces, laundry facilities, bicycle workshops, and social outdoor areas allow residents to live active and varied everyday lives without leaving the neighborhood.
This is social housing in practice – a place where you can be private when you want to, and social when you choose.
Nærbyen 24/7 is also a clear example of a sustainable neighborhood. Public transport, cycling routes, grocery stores, fitness facilities, and workplaces such as NTNU Gløshaugen, St. Olavs Hospital, and Sluppen are all close by. For many residents, daily life happens within just a few minutes’ radius – the very core of the 15-minute city.
Sharing solutions are a natural part of the concept. Instead of everyone owning everything themselves, residents share facilities such as kitchens, workshops, gyms, game rooms, and outdoor spaces. This makes everyday life more affordable, more social, and more environmentally friendly.
Nærbyen 24/7 is a housing concept where living sustainably comes naturally, thanks to close proximity to everything residents need.

Heime as the engine for community, operations, and everyday flow
At Nærbyen 24/7, Heime is a central part of how the neighborhood works in practice. It makes it easier for residents to connect, participate, and contribute.
Through the Heime app, residents get one tool that brings everything together:
- booking of shared spaces such as kitchens, dining areas, game rooms, cinema, and workshops
- activities and communication that make participation in the neighborhood easy
- practical board work and daily operations, ensuring information and tasks are clear and accessible
- sharing solutions such as bicycle workshops, tools, guest facilities, and social spaces
- social and environmental sustainability through low-threshold participation and local everyday living
Heime functions as a neighborhood platform that makes it easy to create and sustain community in residential projects – giving both residents and property management a shared place to meet, organize, and collaborate.
Being on the board of a large housing cooperative becomes much easier when the neighborhood uses Heime. The board no longer has to handle reservations of shared spaces, and physical keys are no longer part of everyday life.
