Coliving in harmony in Mellado Coliving.
💚 Respect
Above all, we respect and care for each other. We keep an open mind, we value the community’s diversity, and we support one another in good times and bad.
🔊 Noise
We choose to live in a community in order to get together and enjoy each other’s company, not everybody has that luxury. Let’s make sure we pay special attention to noise!
Night hours are quiet hours! Noise from 23.00 to 7.00 is not allowed.
Also, be quiet during day hours too: no yelling, no loud noise, no loud music.
The terraces and the common areas are critical for noise. Be considerate of the neighbours and the residents.
🙌🏽 Common spaces 6C and Playroom
The perfect places to chill with the community, organise a movie night, work in the coworking area or relax on the terraces. 6C and Playroom are open from 08.00 to 23.59. Please respect these opening times.
We are all in charge of making sure the common spaces are kept in tip-top condition. In the day-to-day that means cleaning up after ourselves and not removing anything from the space. For events & and activities, organisers are responsible for making sure everything is cleaned that same night and ready to go for the next morning. (Garbage can be taken down the following day).
The common spaces are an extension of your apartment so let’s take care of them while making the most out of them.
If you want to use the BBQ, tell the community to be sure it will be free and use these instructions.
✌🏻 Common spaces central apartments
The central apartments are considered a common area of the building, accessible to all coliving residents, regardless of whether they live on the same floor as the central apartment they wish to visit.
The purpose of these common areas is for residents to gather around them to get to know each other better and strengthen their social relationships.
Always maintaining respect and decor for the facilities and other residents.
The rules for using the central apartments are as follows:
If you visit a central apartment
- You can access the central apartments that are not on your floor from 07.00 to 23.00. After that time, you must leave the central if it is not on your same floor.
On the other hand, you can access the central apartment on your floor 24 hours a day. ⏰ - If you bring a guest to your same floor central, if the central roommates ask you to clear the area after 23.00 because you are making too much noise, you must leave it free to respect the rest of the others roommates.
- As with the common areas of 6C or the Playground, but more especially here because other residents live much closer, it is essential to respect the quiet hours and noise levels in the apartment.
No noise or music that could disturb residents of a central unit is allowed after 23.00. 🔊 - Residents who visit a central unit are responsible for cleaning and leaving the apartment in the same condition as they found it. Residents living in a central unit are not responsible for cleaning up after visitors. 🧼
If you live in a central apartment
- You should be aware that you are living in an apartment whose living area is considered a common area for all residents of the building. 🫂
The areas in these apartments have been designed with more space than the rest of the apartments to encourage social interaction and community engagement.
This requires you to be understanding of the regular flow of people through the common area, as well as the holding of meetings, meals, etc., there. Always respecting the cleaning and noise regulations, of course. - As mentioned above, it will be normal for people to use the space until the designated time limit of 23.00. 🎲
💪🏽 Fitness area
Located on the ground floor, the fitness area is open 24/7, except nights on the weekends. Make sure to order and clean all equipment after use.
👩🏼💻 Common spaces coworking area
The coworking space is a flexible area. We can set up shop and work there for the day, let’s just remember to clean up after ourselves and not leave anything behind in our workstation.
Calls are a necessary evil (now more than ever), if you’re gonna be on the phone/zoom for extended periods of time it’s best that you do it from the 2 phone booths or from the comfort of your own room.
But you are in a live community, so if you seek full silence (don’t we all?), we recommend working from your room.
Bringing guests to the coworking area: We are delighted that you bring friends to enjoy the wonderful space. Sometimes, this can result in too many people using a given space, reaching its maximum capacity. In the case of coworking spaces, especially in the event of overbooking and guests of residents using the space, the building's residents will have priority over the guests.
👥 Guests are welcome
This is your home, and you should feel like it is at all levels. Guests are always welcome, as long as they all follow the following space guidelines. You are responsible for their behavior. In the coliving spaces, guests can stay overnight for up to 7 days a month.
🚬 Smoke-free space
We are a smoke-free environment. Smoking is not allowed in any area: inside the building or on the terraces. Vaping is also included in this restriction.
🍺 Be responsible
Alcoholic drinks are allowed in the buildings, as long as no problems are coming from drunk or disorderly behavior. Any illegal substances are absolutely forbidden, and their use, possession, or distribution inside the building will result in immediate expulsion.
💻 Share the wifi
We have an amazing internet installation, but we will only benefit from it if we all use internet cautiously. Please don’t manipulate any equipment or use it for malicious purposes. That way our Netflix nights and working sessions are a sure thing!
🗣 Communication
Communication is key in any kind of relationship. When we want to organize something, when issues arise, or when we’re simply looking for help we know that there’s a community that supports us.
🛎 Report what’s wrong in the space
Keep an active mindset and report whatever is broken or malfunctioning. We need everyone’s collaboration to keep the space in the best shape - it all starts with reporting, but feel free to give a hand and fix things yourself!
