Room in a shared flat

I am not just looking for roommates, I am looking for people who want to build a special form of living together. The house is a single-family home in a central location in Zürich Wiedikon. It is to become an intergenerational shared flat where people of different ages live together, respect each other, exchange ideas and enrich each other. Independence and privacy are just as important as community. That's why the application process is a bit different from a classic shared flat: First, I'm looking for people who are excited about the idea. The room is not the focus, but the vision of a place where you like to live and take responsibility for each other. If we feel that the ideas match, we will discuss the details of the room, rent, and living together in the second step. **What I'm looking for** * Openness to people of different generations * Appreciative and respectful interaction * Initiative and reliability * Interest in actively helping to shape a community * The shared flat is dog-cat-pet-friendly * The shared flat is a smoking shared flat **What to expect** * A single-family home in a central location in Zürich Wiedikon * A lot of potential for shared living and life * A shared flat that wants to be consciously different from a pure functional shared flat * The opportunity to become part of a long-term housing project from the start **If this idea appeals to you, tell me in your message not only something about yourself, but also why you want to become part of an intergenerational shared flat.** I'm looking forward to getting to know people who are not just looking for a room, but a place they want to help shape together. **About me** I am 74 years old and have been retired for a year. Before my retirement, I was self-employed as a carpenter and kitchen builder since I was 21 - so the craft has been with me my whole life. Even today, I like to be active and enjoy smaller handicraft projects, either in the house or in my vacation home. On nice days, I enjoy the time on the terrace, like to smoke a cigar and let the evening fade away with a good glass of wine. I have two adult sons, 31 and 33 years old, who are going their own way. I consider respectful, uncomplicated and cordial interaction important. I wish for a home where different generations can benefit from each other, with enough free space for everyone, but also with the opportunity to share common moments when it arises. I'm looking forward to your application. Best regards Thomas
