During a recent site visit to Florence Dock (Folk Co-living), the Conscious Coliving team unveiled key findings from the first research-backed article—sharing evidence for why co-living is a catalyst for urban regeneration. 📌 Key takeaways from the research suggests co-living contributes to:  Social regeneration: Co-living provides spaces, resources, and events for local communities, supports affordable housing initiatives, and attracts key workers and professionals—helping to create vibrant, thriving neighbourhoods. Enhanced community & wellbeing: Co-living fosters social connection and engagement through regular events, well-designed communal spaces, and supportive resident-facing staff—demonstrating its strong potential for positive social impact.  🔗 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/efkffSR4  📄 Explore a summary of findings on our website: https://lnkd.in/eSM97UCK We’re excited to continue this important campaign with fellow partners Bridges Fund Management Ltd., HUB, Shoosmiths, The Furniture Practice, urbanbubble, VervLife, British Property Federation, Cascade, and CBRE Thank you, Conscious Coliving for your hard work in delivering these valuable findings and leading this important campaign. #AssaelArchitecture #CoLiving #UrbanRegeneration #Placemaking #RealEstate #Housing

Exploring Urban Family Housing: Insights from Emily Newton in Architecture Today 👪🌳   Associate Director, Emily Newton, has been featured in an article for Architecture Today where she explores Assael's Urban Family Housing Concept and how becoming a mother has influenced her approach to work, leadership, and design.   The Urban Family Housing concept is a new housing typology that tackles the challenges of urban life for growing families by integrating strong built-in communities influenced by Build to Rent principles. The concept addresses key issues such as balancing work and childcare, managing limited spaces and ensuring there are safe play areas available for children.   As a leader at Assael and a mother of two, Emily combines lived experience with professional expertise to refine the Urban Family Housing concept and drive it forward.   📌 Read Emily’s full article here: https://lnkd.in/eCtCPZK9   A big thank you to Architecture Today for the opportunity for Emily to share these insights! Stay tuned as we continue exploring the Urban Family Housing concept in the coming months.   #AssaelArchitecture #ArchitectureToday #UrbanFamilyHousing #Motherhood #Architecture #Design
