[Oscar Fuente](https://greenlivingprojects.es/blog/author/oscar-fuente) May 1, 2026 3:34:07 PM # Green Living: what has actually taken shape so far From the outside, most projects look more coherent than they really are. A concept appears, a space opens, some visibility follows, and recognition starts to accumulate. It reads like a sequence. In practice, it’s closer to iteration. ## It didn’t start as a product Green Living wasn’t designed as a finished model. It started with a working assumption: that the way people live and work had already shifted, but the spaces available to support that shift hadn’t caught up. Not fully. The question was not whether coliving existed —it clearly did— but whether it could be built in a way that actually reduced friction in daily life. ## From structure to behaviour The early phase focused less on aesthetics and more on structure. How space is used. Where friction appears. What happens when living and working overlap in the same environment. These are not design questions. They’re behavioural ones. Most of that work remains invisible. ## Opening the space The transition from concept to reality started with the opening of the space in Castelldefels. This marked a shift from planning to actual use, where assumptions were replaced by real behaviour. (You can see more context around the location and why it matters here: [Castelldefels as a remote work environment](https://greenlivingprojects.es/blog/why-castelldefels-in-metropolitan-barcelona-is-the-new-hotspot-for-remote-workers-in-spain?hsLang=en).) ## Reality changes the model Once people start living in a space, things stop being theoretical. What works becomes obvious quickly. What doesn’t, even faster. That phase tends to be less visible, but it’s where the model is actually defined. Understanding this shift is key to understanding how coliving works beyond the concept itself: [complete guide to coliving in Barcelona](https://greenlivingprojects.es/coliving-barcelona-guia-2026?hsLang=en). ## Recognition from different ecosystems Over time, the project started to receive signals from different directions: - **[Selected startup at Web Summit Lisbon](https://greenlivingprojects.es/blog/green-living-selected-startup-web-summit-lisbon?hsLang=en)** - **[Awarded by the Internet Users Association](https://greenlivingprojects.es/blog/green-living-award-internet-users-association?hsLang=en)** - **[Selected by the public as the most innovative coliving project at the Coliving Awards](https://greenlivingprojects.es/blog/green-living-most-innovative-coliving-public-vote?hsLang=en)** Each of these comes from a different environment. Technology, digital innovation, and sector-specific evaluation don’t usually overlap. Which is precisely why the overlap matters. ## Not validation, but alignment Recognition, taken in isolation, is ambiguous. Taken together, it starts to indicate something more specific: alignment. - How people organise their work - How they structure their daily lives - And what they expect from the environments they inhabit This becomes clearer when comparing different ways of living in the city: - [renting a room in Barcelona](https://greenlivingprojects.es/alquiler-habitaciones-barcelona?hsLang=en) - [renting a room in Castelldefels](https://greenlivingprojects.es/rent-room-castelldefels?hsLang=en) ## Location as a structural decision The choice of Castelldefels is not secondary. It reflects a shift away from density-driven living towards environments that support focus and balance. This is where the model starts to connect with broader changes in remote work and lifestyle. ## Where things stand now Green Living is currently operating in Castelldefels, Barcelona. At this stage, the project sits between concept and maturity. Functional, but still evolving. Most of the relevant work remains iterative: - Adjusting how space is used - Observing behavioural patterns - Reducing friction points None of this produces immediate visibility. But it defines the long-term viability of the model. ## What this suggests If there is a pattern, it’s not rapid growth or isolated success. It’s convergence. Between a way of living that is already changing, and the spaces that are beginning to respond to it. Green Living sits within that transition.
