Coliving & Remote Work Glossary
What is a Communal Kitchen?
A communal kitchen is a shared cooking space used by everyone living in the same home. It’s where people prepare meals, make coffee, and often hang out.
In coliving spaces, the kitchen usually becomes a natural gathering spot — whether it’s for a casual breakfast chat, a shared dinner, or an impromptu wine night.
Why Does a Communal Kitchen Matter for Digital Nomads or Remote Workers?
When you're living abroad or working remotely, cooking your own meals helps you stay healthy and save money. A communal kitchen gives you the tools to do that — while also making it easier to connect with housemates over food, culture, or your go-to pasta recipe.
It’s one of the easiest, most organic ways to build community.
How Does Nomadico Relate to Communal Kitchens?
Every Nomadico location includes a fully equipped communal kitchen — with space to cook solo, share meals, or start that spontaneous group dinner that turns into a highlight of the week.
Some of our homes even host regular family-style dinners, cooking classes, or potluck nights to make the most of it.
Common Misconceptions About Communal Kitchens
“Shared kitchens are always messy or crowded.”
In well-run colivings, guests tend to be respectful — and house rules help keep things organized and clean.
“You have to cook with others.”
Not at all. You can cook solo or team up — totally up to you.
“It’s not well-equipped.”
Our kitchens are fully stocked with everything you need — pots, pans, good knives, some have a blender.
