The article analyzes the spatial and planning solutions of co-living complexes, which have become a notable trend in rental housing markets, particularly in the largest cities of developed countries. The article explores the advantages of this housing type, the features that shape its uniqueness and ensure high efficiency in design, construction, and operation, as well as its potential for the rental housing market in Ukraine. The first co-living projects emerged in the second half of the 20th century, but they have become especially relevant today with the intensification of urbanization and globalization processes. The article examines examples from various countries around the world that illustrate the broad potential of this housing model in meeting the needs of diverse groups of tenants — from students and young professionals who prefer a mobile lifestyle (the so-called digital nomads), to small families, single individuals, and elderly people. Some of these complexes are newly built, while others result from the renovation and repurposing of existing buildings. The co-living format allows for the combination of different types of housing units (rooms, apartments, standalone houses) with a full set of communal functions, such as kitchens, dining areas, laundries, workspaces, and recreational areas. Currently, co-living is not widely spread in Ukraine, and its presence is limited to a few major cities. However, this type of rental housing has significant development potential in the context of post-war reconstruction and in providing highquality modern housing for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other population groups affected by the war.
