A community-owned home and gathering place — sex-positive by design,
democratically governed, and built to last.
A place to live, to gather, to explore, and to build something that outlives us.
To establish and steward a community-owned, democratically governed home and gathering place where queer people of all genders and orientations can live, meet, and explore in a sex-positive environment free from shame.
Resident members live here, share in its upkeep, and are part of its governance. A real home with real belonging.
Residency →Membership is open to those who share the mission. The community shapes what this place becomes.
Membership →Queer events, sex-positive nights, workshops, and gatherings. A space where the programming emerges from the community.

Lusthaven is the queer association shaping the culture, programming, and community life.
The Haven Collective SC/CV is the cooperative working to acquire and steward a permanent home for this project.
Together, we’re building a space where queer people can root, rest, play, and create — not for a night, but for a lifetime.
Our target property is a historic Flemish estate — a protected monument with grounds, outbuildings, and the kind of physical presence that changes how a community feels about itself.
The renovation is being designed to honour the heritage of the building while creating spaces that are genuinely ours: a playspace, a communal kitchen, event rooms, guest accommodation, and places to simply be.

There are several ways to get involved — as a community member, a resident, or a lender.
