Vivarium Colivers in Valencia

Vivarium’s Community

Our mission is to build a community that supports each other in facing what comes next. By working together and sharing our talents and life experiences, we aim to create a living experience that’s fulfilling, meaningful, and enjoyable for everyone.

Who makes our community 👉

We have welcomed people at a moment of change that realized their new path here, entrepreneurs that decided to start their company in Valencia, freelancers that came to explore the city and connected with new clients, creatives that found new inspiration for their work, corporate rebels that wrote their first book in the house, programmers driven to make an impact, and many other amazing human beings.

Here you will find people like you who are not like you, all of them wanting to connect with others, explore, and enjoy life together.

Vivarium Coliving Community

Our approach to

Community Building


We believe that a community is never a finished “product”, but shaped by the people who are part of it. This means everyone plays a role in creating and sustaining the environment we share. 

Ownership and shared responsibility are at the heart of what we do. We encourage each member to take an active role, whether it's by sharing meals, organizing activities, or simply supporting others. 

As hosts, we facilitate this process by providing the resources, support, and opportunities that foster connection and collaboration, ensuring that everyone’s experience is as positive as possible.

 Values & Principles

  • We understand that our community will never be perfect for every member, but we strive to make it ideal for all with our actions. To the best of our ability, we look for the common good while caring for our individual needs, which means that when trying to fulfill our purposes, we also consider those of others.

  • When we expect something from others or the community, it is always because we are giving/doing something for others or the community first. Although we don't necessarily expect something in return when we give.

  • We coexist with a diverse group of individuals. We approach others in the community (and beyond it) with a genuine interest in getting to know them and understanding their reality. We might disagree on many ideas, but we always maintain respect for the person that holds them.

  • We make a real effort to understand and communicate our needs in the best way we can. We create space for others' needs to be expressed, pursued, and fulfilled through the community. Our actions are based on a humble intention to collaborate with others' well-being and happiness.

  • The community is built by each and every one of us. If something is not working or could work better, we lead the search for a (better) solution and ask for support if needed. We take responsibility for the shared experience in the community and are actively engaged in it.
