Are you ready to redefine your understanding of communal living with an award-winning architect? Today, we chat with Tom Manwell, director of www.wellstudiocoliving.com, who unpacks the intriguing concept of coliving design and its impact on personal wellbeing. Tom's unique insights and experiences unravel the reasons behind society's glorification of individualistic living, despite soaring property prices and increasing isolation. He enlightens us on how coliving provides a fresh perspective for those in their twenties, thirties, and forties, looking for an alternative to the traditional path of property ownership.
As we proceed, we dive deeper into the significance of design in coliving spaces and its profound effect on the well-being of its residents. We tackle everything from color schemes, natural light, use of natural materials, and the inclusion of green spaces, and how these factors can nourish a sense of well-being. Not forgetting the power of social connections and the role of sustainable, low-energy buildings in promoting overall wellbeing. We also delve into potential conflicts that may arise in c-living spaces and discuss effective strategies to address them.
Tom provides us with an in-depth understanding of how coliving spaces can be more sustainable. He explains the impact of location, building structure, and occupants' behavior on sustainability. He affirms how shared resources within coliving spaces can enhance sustainability and foster a virtuous community circle. As we wrap up our insightful discussion, we emphasise the role of community management in coliving spaces and explore successful coliving spaces in global cities like Amsterdam, London, Mallorca, Berlin, and Florence. Join us in this fascinating episode, where coliving, wellbeing, and sustainability converge into a compelling narrative you don't want to miss!
