In today’s bustling urban cities, the idea of coliving has quickly caught fire. Coliving is an incredibly innovative way to live more sustainably, spark collaboration, and create tight-knit communities. Urban Campus has been at the forefront of this real estate trend, with our knack for designing intuitive coliving spaces across major European cities. For us, coliving spaces aren’t just about providing a roof over your head – it’s about nurturing a strong sense of togetherness and community. 

Let’s take a closer look at how to design coliving spaces that just feel right.

 

What Does Intuitive Design Mean in Coliving?

When we talk about intuitive design in coliving, we’re referring to spaces that people can naturally navigate and enjoy. These spaces should make daily life smoother, encouraging residents to connect and form new relationships. In order to meet the dynamic needs of young professionals, our coliving spaces always include: 

  • A blend of private and communal spaces
  • Advanced technology integration
  • Sustainability practices
  • Fully equipped & furnished spaces, completely move-in ready

We know that y​oung professionals today are looking for more than just a place to rest their heads; they seek environments that foster personal and professional growth. They value connectivity and the ability to network with like-minded individuals within their living space. The ease of having a fully furnished space is also unmatched for young professionals. We aim to remove all moving hassles and embrace total convenience, freeing our colivers to focus on their goals and interests. 

 

Design Process & Feasibility Study

The design and construction—or refurbishment—of Urban Campus coliving spaces begins with meticulous planning and a strategic feasibility study. This crucial step assesses the potential of a site or building to meet our specific needs. We look at everything from architectural viability to design opportunities and environmental considerations. 

A feasibility study ensures two very important things. First, that every Urban Campus project is architecturally sound. Second, that our projects align properly with our commitment to creating sustainable, tech-enabled, and community-focused living environments. The final outcome is a detailed roadmap that guides the transformation of buildings into vibrant coliving communities rooted in innovation and inclusivity.

Key Components of our Feasibility Study: 

  • Architectural Viability: Ensures the structural integrity and potential of the building or site.
  • Design Opportunities: Identifies innovative ways to create functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces.
  • Environmental Impact: Assesses sustainability practices to minimize ecological footprint.
  • Technology Integration: Evaluates the potential for incorporating smart technologies for enhanced living experiences.
  • Community Engagement: Looks into creating spaces that foster connection and collaboration among residents.
  • Market Analysis: Determines the demand and viability of the coliving concept in the targeted area.
  • Financial Assessment: Projects costs, revenues, and overall economic feasibility of the venture.

Intuitive design does more than make a space functional and attractive; it creates an environment where people can come together, forming a supportive community. This sense of belonging is crucial for mental well-being, helping to combat loneliness and build a network of support.
