Heading
Coliving is a modern housing arrangement that combines private living spaces with shared communal facilities and amenities. It is designed to promote social interaction and build community among residents.
Coliving spaces are designed to address modern urban challenges such as housing shortages, loneliness, and the desire for more flexible and community-oriented living arrangements. This housing model has gained popularity since the early 2010s, particularly in tech hubs and major cities, as a response to changing lifestyle preferences and economic factors.
Unlike traditional shared housing or flat shares, coliving explicitly seeks to foster a purposeful community through thoughtful design of both physical spaces and social structures.
