From a six-person house to a whole village — every way humans share a roof, charted. Browse the shapes below, then explore the map. Positions are my read of each model — I'd love to hear yours.
This chart places every co-living model on two spectrums at a time: how much is shared, size, time, who holds the power, values and effort. Pick the axes (or a preset), hover a symbol for a first look, click for the full field notes.
