A shared home and workspace, where we also share some of our purpose and learnings in life.
For a short workation to escape routine, as a retreat to dig into projects, or as a base.
Be you an entrepreneur, remote worker, digital nomad, a creative—or anything else!
By embracing diversity and serendipity we create vitality in our lives. You've got your own independent lifestyle and need a house to match. At a coliving hub you have great common spaces and friendly faces crossing paths doing all sorts of stuff.
There's always folks to cook with, watch a movie or even learn some reiki… Yet with varied workspaces in the house you're always productive, to do your best work.
Learn about coliving at some of our favourites, Sun and Co in Spain, Nine in the Canaries and Playworking in Montenegro. There's also projects such as Alchemy Spaces in Italy. But these are just rentals, we need new choices…
Ownership enables lasting self-determination. With cohousing we also provide individuality, permanence and privacy beyond that of coliving. Downsizing? Free up your assets, collaborate with our community supporting member's ventures, even start your own?!
Get closer to nature whilst remaining connected to the wider world.
Live affordably, buying into lifelong use of properties as you are able.
Be part of a community that respects independence and innovation.
Support the regeneration of overlooked places to build stronger ecosystems.
Connect, learn, and take advantage of serendipitous opportunities.
Benefit from shared facilities (vehicles, cinema, tools, ice-cream maker, …).
Our purpose as a member owned co‑operative is providing affordable co‑ownership and rental, giving use of private accommodation along with many varied communal areas, in multiple locations.
As participants in a dynamic ecosystem we share its opportunities whilst generating rental revenue as a social enterprise — reinvesting in hosting workshops, talks, activities and even festivals, enriching not just ourselves, but the wider community.
The regeneration of smaller towns and rural areas not only opens up affordable property for us to visit, work from or live in, but restores life in them. By doing it collaboratively, we reduce our footprints and enhance the effects.
We'll add more properties in future so we all get choice amongst varied locations. Don't worry about languages, there'll always be folks around to help. 🙆♂️ (If you're not an EU citizen you'll need a visa, but we plan to add places outside the EU.)
It's not just about having an amazing space to get our work done, but also popping out for a break to welcoming towns and villages, escaping into a natural park and great wilderness, with hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, kayaking, wild swimming, skiing, and more(!) within reach.
Whether you participate from day one as an investor, co-owner, or visit on rental — you do so as a member of our cooperative society. To join us as a co-owner, make a pledge, then once we've completed due diligence on the property, you will be invited to apply for our community shares, else join us for the next…?!
With coliving, for your own lifelong use equivalent to one month of an ensuite every year, we're targeting a share buy-in around €1,500 (plus monthly expenses), compared to rental at around €550 (inclusive). Your saving on co-ownership versus rental means the costs of shares are recovered after 6 years, giving a saving of €250/month thereafter.
There's a 30% allocation of preferential shares without coliving use, which instead provides us with rental capacity, and these thus pay dividends up to 10% whilst also contributing to our community fund. As an investment these generate income, and may be used to cover your use expenses giving cost-free housing into the future.
With cohousing you have exclusive use of a 45m2+ studio, at a share cost of €35,000 (excluding fitout and decoration). You're free to rent it, keep it for your own use, or exchange time at other locations as you wish.
Why stay in one place? Get away for a while — make a pledge or stay tuned to visit and rent as a guest.
Converting an affordable open-plan property enables us to better invest in dedicated facilities as a coliving hub, instead of spending piles on maintaining a fancy chateau. 🏰💸 We all agree—it's worth it right?!
We're hoping to install sustainable power generation using hydro and solar, reducing our expenses and making us much greener. This is however a big expense so we'll have to see how much capital is available once fit out is complete. ♻️🤞
We won't be like a hotel nor premium coliving spaces. We'll help each other keep things clean, and do our own laundry. Our volunteers will however help us with the basics, and if you prefer to be looked after they'll be able to offer you serviced rooms and mealplans. 👏
Works will be undertaken in two phases, both include lots of common areas and facilities. See the full property report and our FAQ for further details. If you're interested in the market positioning you may also wish to take a look at the original investment proposition which is no longer in use, yet may be utilised for future locations.
All shares and costs will be per-day thus you'll have complete flexibility, monthly equivalents are only shown for simplicity. The current pledge target is for the first phase only, therefore pledges can still be made beyond this.
You can check out any time you like. But you can never leave. 🙃 Kidding! That'd not be very convenient now would it…
Community shares are withdrawable, if there's someone on the waitlist you can get your investment back. Maybe to move to another co-operative living community? You can swap between cohousing and coliving, and enlarge/reduce your coliving share. Otherwise if you're not using your share, it's not a write-off as you'll get above inflation dividends when the co-operative generates profit.
Of course there's risks, yet we hope the facilities and community that we're all building and supporting makes up for this, and pays back on our little gamble in so many ways! You can check the current pledge funding yourself, the waitlist will also be public so you'll always know.
I am investing ~7% of the total funds, and anyone wishing to make a significant investment alongside me (e.g. for a cohousing unit), is invited to become a cofounder having a small supplementary equity reward if you expect to maintain involvement within the community.
I'll introduce the first board members soon, if you have experience in communities you're welcome to put yourself forward for this, and there'll also be an opportunity to visit in early September, with volunteers being engaged later in the year. Do reach out to jacob@hub.house to coordinate. The questions page has a pile of other details if you want to dig in a bit more.
We encourage diversity. In our roles, places we live and people we know. Without judgement. Dynamic ecosystems brim with serendipity.
We support deconcentration. Spending money where it makes a difference, away from the metros. Benefitting alongside our neighbours.
We embrace innovation. Investigating the unfamiliar, creating resilience in ourselves, uncovering opportunities for us all. We won't be left behind.
