What is coliving? Those who are not related by blood, marriage or others choosing co-living design, where individuals as well as the collective share resources plus an intention of living sustainably and harmoniously with each other and the planet.

Coliving is a modern type of shared housing for like-minded visitors to live, play and work together. Coliving as a modern concept loosely dates back nearly a century in the form of tenements yet can also be considered linked to much older forms of communal living like the longhouse. Its contemporary form just has gained prominence lately as a mixture of factors have resulted in interest in this kind of living space, including a lack of housing opportunities, the cost of independent accommodation and raising finance to buy, plus a growing curiosity about lifestyles not dependent upon long-term contracts.
