Mobile Coliving David Wade
Coliving is a new and developing style of living that brings individuals together in a new form of living.
What is coliving?
The purpose is to provide a form of living for those who are either not wanting to rent/own their own home or apartment, or do not have the finances to rent/own a home or apartment. Coliving is ideal for those who are just out of school looking to start a new chapter of their life but not commit to a long-term living situation. The programming of a coliving space follows a basic outline: A private bedroom which usually is very minimal to encourage those living there to spend most of their time in the communal areas. (bed, bathroom, small desk, and storage)
Large communal spaces that provide most needs. (kitchen, laundry, recreational spaces, and utilities)
