Coworking + Coliving: The Formula that Multiplies Profitability and Occupancy
We live in an era where technology has transformed not only how we work or communicate, but also how we share, inhabit, and collaborate. This blog is born from the desire to explain, in a simple way, a powerful idea: how concepts like shareability, decentralization, and remote work are giving rise to new ways of living and building community.
What is Shareability?
Shareability is the ability to efficiently share resources, enabled by technology. Examples like Uber (sharing cars), Airbnb (sharing spaces), or Spotify (sharing music without intermediaries) have redefined entire industries.
In the past, it seemed unthinkable to get into a stranger’s car or stay in someone’s home whom you didn’t know. Today, we do it with a click. Shareability removes barriers of exclusivity, democratizes access, and allows everyone to become an active participant in the system.
From Shareability to Physical Space: Coworking
This concept moved into the physical world through coworking. WeWork and other similar spaces enabled professionals to share workplaces, fostering collaboration, community, and cost reduction.
Coworking wasn’t just a practical solution; it also created a new work lifestyle. It was no longer necessary to have a fixed office—just a desk, internet, and a good chat by the coffee machine.
The Remote Work Revolution
The pandemic took this even further: it proved that we could work from home. This transformed the concept of the office and made it more flexible, reducing the need for space and hierarchical structures.
Many companies now use hybrid models, where desks no longer belong to a single employee, but are available to whoever needs them that day. Work stopped being a place and became an activity.
What’s Next? Communities That Generate Value
If we already live together, work together, and share values, the natural next step is to build and generate income together. The logical evolution of coliving or cohousing is not just about sharing space, but also creating collective value systems: communities where work, the economy, and daily life are integrated into a single ecosystem.
This gives rise to what we might call self-sustaining or active communities. What does this mean? That people not only cohabitate but also collaborate to launch ventures, innovate, and generate income together.
Imagine a community where designers, developers, marketers, creators, and strategists not only share a building, but also a common economic purpose. Together, they can build an agency, a creative studio, a digital cooperative, an e-commerce brand, or even a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).
This kind of community completely transforms the traditional housing model.
You no longer pay to live there—you earn by participating.
Housing ceases to be a fixed expense and becomes a productive infrastructure.
