Reimagining Co-Living: Challenges and Innovations

In the third episode of our series on Co-Living, we sit down with Damien Sharkey, Managing Director of HUB, to explore how his background as an Architect allows him and the team at HUB to re-imagine the urban environment to provide high quality homes for renters and sharers across the Built-to-Rent and Co-Living Sectors. Damien reflects on his early years in his family's joinery business in Ireland, which ignited his passion for architecture. He shares insights into his transition into development, the essential skills he's carried over from his architectural background, and HUB's distinctive approach to creating quality homes across the UK

Together, we delve into the challenges and triumphs of landmark projects, including the UK's first institutionally funded build-to-rent scheme and the innovative repurposing of existing buildings in Central London to provide quality co-living homes and a new destination for the City of London.
