The Concept
What is co-living?
Coliving is the term used to describe shared living spaces for like-minded people to live, work, and play together. Coliving is a modern form of communal living in which residents get a private bedroom or shared bedroom in a furnished apartment with shared common areas in the building.
Who is co-living for?
Coliving is for people who value a community alongside individuality. Residents unite around a common interest of wanting to learn and grow from the people they surround themselves with. Anyone can co-live! If you’re a social, free, and entrepreneurial spirit – co-living is for you.
What is the difference between private living and co-living?
Private living is exactly that, living on your own in a private apartment. Co-living is when you choose to share an apartment with other HOMiis.
What kind of shared spaces are in your buildings?
Each HOMii building has a life of its own. We design our shared living spaces to suit the needs of the community. Here are some of the shared spaces across the country: • Café Style Atrium Spaces • Chairman’s Lounges • Rooftop Gardens • Rooftop Games Areas • Rooftop Braai Areas • Co-Working Spaces • Coffee Shops • Various Communal Chill Spaces.
What type of events do you have?
Seminars and workshops hosted and driven by our in-house entrepreneurs and side hustlers: Movie nights on the rooftop, Sushi-making classes, Wine tastings, HOMii Singles Mixers, Yoga and Pilates...just to name a few
