For more than three decades, Shared Habitat has developed artistic, cultural, and environmental projects that bring together creativity, ecology, and community. Working across disciplines and in collaboration with artists, researchers, organisations, and local communities, our practice creates opportunities for exchange, dialogue, and shared ways of inhabiting place.
Among our long-term initiatives is the Dartington to Totnes Foot and Cycle Path, realised in partnership with Sustrans in 1993. This landmark project continues to provide a safe and sustainable connection between the two communities and stands as an enduring example of creative environmental infrastructure.
In 2013, Shared Habitat established the Pfaelzer Hof Artist Residencies in Idar-Oberstein, Germany, with the support of the Town Council of Idar-Oberstein. The residency programme continues to foster international artistic exchange, collaboration, and research, bringing together artists from diverse disciplines in dialogue with place and landscape.
