Coliving is designed for short stays, while cohousing is intended to provide permanent homes. Coexistence is oriented to cities, while cohousing seeks greater contact with nature. Cohabitation creates very specific communities, while cohousing allows for a greater diversity of people. One of the main differences between these two is that living together involves sharing much more spaces.
While cohousing communities tend to have individual, independent units, each with a private bathroom and kitchen, cohousing spaces tend to share many more of these areas without necessarily having their own. This allows for a higher degree of interaction than its CoHousing counterpart. A living space is a space rented by several people, all living under the same roof and in a community, but who will have their own contract. Because living together is a fairly modern concept and living spaces must be built or remodeled specifically to suit the purpose and residents, the space is usually modern and is well furnished.
Living spaces usually include a private bedroom and bathroom and common spaces for eating and living.
