Rules

Respect for different life rhythms: In the house we live with other people who carry their own routines, jobs and daily life at their own pace. We highly value empathy, tolerance and mutual respect for the times and spaces of each member.

Home care: We ask you to help maintain order, hygiene and cleanliness in the common areas so everyone’s stay is pleasant.

Shared responsibility in the kitchen: We share meal times. Food preparation and dish/utensil washing are done as a team and collaboratively.

Rest and shared spaces: Respect nighttime quiet hours and personal privacy, keeping a serene environment in work and workshop spaces.

Clear and open communication: If any questions, needs or suggestions arise regarding tasks or living together, we like to discuss them directly and with a good disposition.

Conscious use of resources: Take care of water, electricity and shared space supplies.
