Baixa Residence
About this coliving home
We are a movement that values a sense of community. We create spaces that prioritize interpersonal relationships, celebrate cultural exchanges, and create opportunities for new meetings. It's here that you'll be able to experience the city like a local, enjoy a balanced quality of life, explore new activities, work in peace, and make lifelong friends. Join this ecosystem and find a place to rest, work, and linger.
Founded by a Portuguese team who believed in the power of community, samesame became Europe’s first community-driven coliving and Lisbon’s very first coliving. Since opening our doors in May 2018, we’ve brought together people from around the globe, offering a unique coliving experience that feels like a second home. Here, you can immerse yourself in Portuguese culture, make meaningful new connections, and enjoy a peaceful workspace.
The samesame complex includes two coliving buildings — Beco and Madalena — a dedicated coworking area, and an open terrace designed for internal community events. Together, these spaces create a complete experience: a cozy home away from home, a calm and focused place to work, and a welcoming environment that brings the community together through shared activities.
Our charming nest is ideal for activities, classes, events, tours, dinners, workshops, and social interactions. We welcome locals and internationals of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds to connect through our weekly agenda. These events range from sports and social activities to festive, educational, and cultural happenings, making each experience truly special.
Embark on this family journey with us. Join us and immerse yourself in an environment that fosters connections, celebrates diverse cultures, and cherishes memories.

Neighborhood
On one side, there are Cais do Sodré, Chiado, and Carmo. On the other, the Cathedral and the hill of Castelo de São Jorge. The Baixa neighborhood, which is bathed by the Tagus River, is the most central area in Lisbon, offering all kinds of commerce and access to various forms of transportation. The iconic architecture, traditional tiled facades, and pervasive Portuguese romanticism are integral to the neighborhood’s DNA. There is no chance of getting bored around here.

You have place to take a sit and work – as you would do in any other house. However, if you are looking for a creative and productive environment, we built two creative spaces around the corner, with special fees for its residents.

Different types of events are organized every week to connect the community. From “community first” events such as family meals, wellness, creative, cultural, exploring and solidarity events.
The access to the co-working spaces is included?
To make it easier for each co-liver to decide if they need a place to work or not – this fee is not included in the final price. But we have a special price for our co-livers, making it a 7€ per day fee :).
What is the bedroom situation?
We dreamt of a close like-minded community, so there are a total of nine bedrooms, 5 in the 2nd floor and 5 in the 3rd floor. In each bedroom you are expected to find a bed with an high end mattress, climate control, an in-room wardrobe. Some rooms also have balconies and terraces, applying for one of these depends availability. There is a private bathroom inside each bedroom and you can count with weekly cleaning and changed linens and towels.
