Firepit | 營火地 - Coliving

The co-living initiative known as "The Firepit" aims to foster a creative and supportive environment for residents in Prince Edward, Hong Kong, targeting individuals interested in social innovation and personal development. Residents can engage in a two-week to three-month residency program that encourages collaboration and personal growth outside of traditional family or workplace settings. The program revolves around a theme that is decided by existing residents, ensuring that new participants contribute to a focused communal experience. Central to The Firepit’s philosophy is the idea of conscious living across five dimensions: Body, Mind, Spirit, Society, and Planet. Activities designed to support physical health, emotional sharing, spiritual exploration, community engagement, and environmental consciousness are integrated into the residency experience. Each resident is expected to contribute by teaching a skill relevant to the current theme, promoting peer learning and communal responsibility. The living arrangements support a balance between privacy and community interaction, with shared spaces including a kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. Rooms vary in size and cost, accommodating different preferences and budgets, with an all-inclusive pricing model that covers utilities and amenities. The facility also hosts regular events and open houses, fostering connections among residents and the wider community. Each three-month cycle culminates in an open day where residents showcase their collaborative projects, reflecting on their personal and shared journeys during the residency. The program also offers a self-sustaining structure where the current cohort participates in selecting the next theme and electing a host to guide future residents. The emphasis is on co-learning, communal living, and building a network of support for individuals from diverse backgrounds who are seeking new challenges and connections.
