About us

Who we are and what matters to us.

MOOM has existed since 2022. The place has changed, the values have stayed.

Etti and Manuel

We have lived in community for years and founded MOOM in 2022. It is the third coliving space Manuel has built. We share a love of clarity, of taking things step by step, and of trying things out.

Etti is a psychological and systemic coach. She loves permaculture and makes sure everyone is well looked after, in the kitchen and beyond.

Manuel is a self-employed AI consultant. His superpower is patience.

Our concept

For us, coliving means people choosing on purpose to live together. That is what sets us apart from an ordinary shared flat. We share rooms, structures and rituals, and we look out for each other.

Everyone has a private room to retreat to. We share the kitchen with its big dining table, the garden and terrace, the sauna in the basement and a coworking area for working from home.

Our community stays small on purpose, so that everyone knows each other.

We made up the name MOOM. It is meant to sound the way it feels to be with us, like connection and home.

Our values

We have lived these four values since day one.

Connection

Meeting others shows us who we are. Exploring connection helps us face big challenges with more empathy and courage.

Regeneration

Sustainability preserves, regeneration heals. We think about it as a whole and practise it daily, when shopping, cooking and composting.

Curiosity

We celebrate differences. Other people’s superpowers are where we connect.

Think outside the box

We live the future we dream of today. Every person brings new perspectives.

Who fits in with us

You need your own space to retreat to and you are curious about community life. Appreciative communication matters to you, and you enjoy sharing everyday life with others. You want to stay longer and help shape the community.

Three children, five hens and two cats live with us. So you should enjoy living with children and animals. Smoking is only allowed on the balcony.
