BH: Blai House: a new concept of co-living in Barcelona

Abstract

In the past decade, there has been an explosion of coliving spaces on a global scale. The idea of sharing common necessities has always existed and as the world tended towards individualism at one point and for a while, it began to tilt again towards sharing and this ever-growing tendency is here to stay. Younger generations crave freedom, flexibility, and self-realization. In a time when travel is easy, where companies increasingly support remote working, rent is constantly increasing, loneliness and isolation levels are high, the environment is struggling, and cities get denser, the modern coliving movement is disrupting today’s traditional rental and homeownership standards and revolutionizing how people in the 21st century aspire to live.
