The Coliving Code: How to Find Your Tribe, Share Resources, and Design Your Life

It's time to learn about the new movement that's redefining the real estate industry completely. We'll take a deep look at coliving: the past, present, and future. Whether you've considered living in a coliving space or have never heard the term before, this book will provide the information you need to understand this massive shakeup of the housing industry and even help you start your own home. There are so many benefits to sharing living space that it's amazing this hasn't been done at scale before. Advances in the way we communicate and how we organize our lives have helped the coliving initiative take hold. This innovative approach to modern residence models is challenging the housing problems we face in big cities, as well as the isolation of people. By taking advantage of large houses and lonely millennials, coliving has become the newest disruption of surplus space. People are realizing that proximity allows for interplay and success that virtual links cannot provide; there is an inherent value to human engagement that our digital society still demands. In response to this, the rise of coliving seeks to solve these problems with one cohesive solution. Its fusion of work, home, and play allows for individuals to nourish all parts of their life without compartmentalizing them into independent (and often incomplete) facets. People are beginning to discover that there are strategic solutions, or 'hacks', to solving current challenges that virtually everyone faces. Coliving allows for an ideal balance in which members feel no compromise between space, privacy, location, productivity, and fulfillment. We'll cover the how and why of this entire spectrum.
