Virtual Open House

On May 5th we’re starting a new online series of “Virtual Open House” - a chance for people not able to come to Lakefront physically to still get a taste of the project, meet some residents and hear about how it is to live here.

Artist-in-residence Scholarship

We’re launching a 6-month fully-funded residency at Lakefront for artists!

This scholarship is part of our vision to diversify the voices shaping the future from within Lakefront. We want to infuse our community with creativity, bold aesthetics, and new perspectives, while acknowledging that many visionary artists face economic barriers. 

Artists are not just creators—they are visionaries, provocateurs, and culture-shapers. We believe deeply in the power of art to open hearts and shift paradigms, and we want to co-create a space where beauty, depth, and progressive action meet. 

Dan Siegel comes to live at Lakefront

We are deeply honored to welcome one of the world’s most influential thinkers and visionary minds of our time to Lakefront — not just for a talk or a visit, but to actually live with us for a few days. Best thing is, you can come and meet him!

Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA and co-founder of the Mindsight Institute. A pioneer in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, his work weaves together science, mindfulness, and human connection to deepen our understanding of consciousness and well-being.

Fika = Swedish tradition of an intimate break or connection, usually with a sweet snack.

New Outdoor Spaces

As the trees are “leafing” up and the sun starts to find its way back, we now have a range of different cozy hangout spaces outdoors. Check out our instagram for more visuals:

Kick-off for the community

By end of May another 10 new residents will have moved in and the first official cohort will go out for an immersive co-created week-long experience out at the beautiful island of Ekskäret. A big kick-off starting point for the first group seeding this community.
