A Creative
Way of Co-living
samesame is the first creative co-living space in Lisbon founded by a locally based team. The project is building a creative and sustainable neighborhood in the capital of Portugal: a space made up of a coliving home, samesame, two creative and artistic coworking spaces, Beco and Esquina, and our own sustainable restaurant and cultural event venue, Insitu.
samesame was brought into being by our urge to build a place based on creativity and community and that could provide a different way of living. In addition to establishing a place where people could rest, create and belong/linger, we wanted to have our personal values reflected in the entire project – sustainability, community, respect, diversity, sharing, local and circular economy, art and culture – in the hopes of becoming a viable solution to some of the biggest challenges we face today.
Rest
samesame is an old traditional building remodeled by a young Portuguese team of architects, designed to guarantee the best resting conditions for the co-livers. It has all the typologies you need – we can host you in shared or private apartments, studios, on shared & private rooms with shared or private bathrooms.

Create
samesame is a place of creation, where people and initiatives come together to have a powerful and positive impact on society.
Thus, to accelerate the effect, we built two co-working: Esquina – an artistic atelier and BECO – a space for everyone that’s looking for a place to create.
However, for those looking to create in a more private atmosphere, the desks inside the co-living can be used at any time.
CO-WORKING ESQUINA
A nonconformist atelier designed for plastic artists, currently hosting 5 residents. Not only it is a working space, it also is a door open gallery that hosts monthly exhibitions and workshops. Available space for new residents.

AROUND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
samesame is located at the multicultural neighbourhood of Mouraria.
A mark in the portuguese history– where Moors lived before the portuguese reconquest and where Fado was born. Mouraria serves food from all over the world, hosts a mini “Chinatown”, owns the most beautiful tiled façades and the most beautiful views over Lisbon. The sense of community is inherent to the neighbourhood and the thriving artistic atmosphere is also becoming part of its DNA. There is no way to get bored around the Mouraria.
