Coliving and Serviced Accommodation - Stockholm and Sweden
Stockholm leads the Nordics in coliving growth. The operator who wins is the one with the premises that justify the rent.
Sweden is the leading coliving market in the Nordics with Stockholm as the epicenter. According to Colliers Nordic, the coliving supply is reaching 95% occupancy and growing by over 60% since 2022. In a market where operators compete for the same tenants, the design of the space is what determines occupancy, rent and the tenant's decision to renew the contract. We design coliving properties and serviced residences that perform on all three parameters.
The real problem
A coliving property without a clear identity does not justify its rent. And the tenant knows it.
Tenants compare in seconds. If the space doesn't communicate something clearly - community, design, quality of life - they choose the cheapest option. Rent does not keep up with marketing. It agrees with the premises.
High tenant turnover
Tenants do not renew their lease when the space does not live up to expectations. Common areas, rooms and atmosphere determine whether they stay or leave at the end of the contract.
Fixed rent with no upside potential
Without differentiation, the only competitive argument is price. A well-designed property justifies a rent 15-20% above the market average without having to negotiate it.
Common areas that do not create community
Coliving sells community, but poorly designed common areas do not deliver it. Layout, acoustics, lighting and flexibility are design decisions with a direct impact on the product.
Converted properties without operational thinking
Many operators are remodeling existing buildings without adapting the floor plan to the coliving model. The result is a hybrid that functions as neither traditional housing nor coliving.
The process
How we work
1.
The meeting
We analyze the property, the tenant profile, the target rent and the competition in the area. The design is based on the business model, not on aesthetic references.
2.
Designing
Property identity, common area layout, room types, lighting and materials. Visualized in 3D before construction begins.
3.
The productions
Construction documents, material specifications, FF&E list and coordination with contractors. Locked budget before construction starts.
4.
Installations
Construction management and final inspection. Handover with the property ready for photography and publication.
