COLIVING DOC

Documentary/research project
about co-living in London

About

Who are we?🐈

We are a group of friends with an architectural background and a desire to explore the nuances of shared living in London. We came together wanting to tell the real stories of coliving in London – warts and all – and looking for all the intertwining joys and desperations of it. 

What are we doing?🤔

We are working on a documentary research project on these co-living experiences in London.
We would love for you to fill out and share the questionnaire we’ve created. Additionally, we’re planning to conduct interviews with some of you, with the aim of creating a documentary using all the material gathered. As creatives we want to capture the technicalities as well as the romanticism we have encountered in the numerous places we’ve lived in – and we’ve known others to.

Why are we doing it?🌞

Our expectation of living in London turned out to be very different from the reality of the rental housing market we encountered. We would like to take a glimpse into a range of (renting) Londoners’ experiences, and create a platform for sharing all the crazy, funny, sad, angry, or seemingly unimportant moments we all have been through in different ways. We are keen on diverting our (and the general) housing discussions towards something artful (rather than shocking or overall negative.)
