Covive is a company that offers shared housing in central areas of Mexico City. During the first two years of operations we have developed a philosophy that we respect and project every day to all our collaborators, inhabitants and future shared spaces:
Feeling at home
Our inhabitants come from different parts of Mexico and the world. Their first days in the city are overwhelming as they have not yet built emotional bonds. We want them to experience the concept of being loved, we want to make them feel like they never left their homes.
Sharing is living more
Humans are social beings par excellence. That is why we seek to enhance our nature by encouraging interactions that make the stranger known. The objects of coexistence are intended to be catalysts for conversations that function as a basis for forming meaningful bonds.
The Community as a new normal
The housing paradigm is shifting and we want that transition to spaces where cooperation is the norm. We want to have vibrant communities where the other person's feelings matter. We bring affective interest to collective spaces.
Diversity as a pillar
Diverse communities are the answer to achieving collaboration among inhabitants. Celebrating difference promotes the construction of more interesting and creative communities. At Covive we embrace diversity because by expanding horizons we nurture our human experiences.
Empathy as a guarantee
Connecting with someone and their reality beyond the superficial, from understanding and not from prejudice. Empathy is to understand what we share and have in common despite the distance between our life stories. To practice empathy we must recognize our own imperfection in others. And to recognize this imperfection, it is necessary to talk.
All of these pillars have been iterated and we know that they will continue to evolve as new housing models continue to renew themselves. Each of these pillars has functioned as a priority in the decisions of Covive and in the definition of the objects of coexistence that communicate the values and behaviors to achieve a vibrant community within the shared houses.
