Rund is proud to feature in ‘Futureproof Housing – Why Co-Living is a Financially and Environmentally Sustainable Sector’, a new long-form article from Conscious Coliving, published as part of their ongoing #WhyCo campaign.

The article explores co-living as an essential and forward-thinking part of the UK’s housing portfolio, highlighting how it can support affordability, professionalisation of the rental market, and sustainable development goals.

Our work at The Rex, Kingston, is included as a case study in the article, with commentary from Rund’s Executive Director, Paul Belfield, on the advantages of adaptive reuse:

“Retrofitting existing buildings into co-living spaces represents a prime opportunity for sustainable development. Coliving's spatial flexibility offers unique advantages for adaptive reuse, effectively utilising existing structures that challenge traditional residential conversions.”

Separate to this article, Rund has also formalised a new partnership with Conscious Coliving, who are an organisation dedicated to helping developers, investors, and operators on how to create environmentally, socially and financially sustainable co-living models. Their work spans design consultancy, resident experience frameworks, and research-based thought leadership, and we are proud to align with an organisation committed to progressive housing solutions.

With projects like The Rex, where we are delivering Employer’s Agent, Quantity Surveyor, and Clerk of Works services for Amro Partners, Rund is applying its multi-disciplined consultancy expertise to this growing market. We are proud to support our clients in creating co-living environments that are both commercially viable and built for the future.
