What is FU.Life?

FU.Life is a modern co-living and serviced apartment concept in Berlin. It combines the comfort and privacy of a fully furnished apartment with flexible services and shared spaces designed to make everyday living easier and more connected.

The apartments are fully furnished and ready to move into. Depending on the apartment, residents have access to a private kitchen or kitchenette, private bathroom, workspace, high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV, bed linen and towels, as well as regular cleaning services.

At the same time, FU.Life offers more than a private apartment. Residents can use shared facilities such as co-working spaces, community areas, event spaces and a private fitness center. The co-working spaces are available at no additional cost.

The core idea is to combine private living with optional community. Residents have their own private space and can decide for themselves how much they want to engage with the FU.Life community.

FU.Life is designed for people looking for a furnished and flexible place to live in Berlin – whether they are moving to the city for a new job, staying for a professional project, working remotely, spending an extended period in Berlin or simply looking for a comfortable alternative to a traditional rental apartment or hotel.

In this sense, FU.Life brings together elements of a private apartment, serviced living and co-living: a ready-to-move-in home, practical services and the opportunity to connect with other residents – all under one roof.

The FU.Life Co-Living Concept

FU.Life combines four central elements:

  • Private living
  • Community
  • Comfort
  • Services

The foundation is always the private apartment. Residents have their own living space, bathroom and kitchen or kitchenette. They do not have to share their bedroom or private living area with other residents.

At the same time, FU.Life creates opportunities for social interaction through shared spaces, co-working areas and events. The community is an additional part of the experience rather than a requirement.

Private Space, Shared Experiences

FU.Life's interpretation of co-living is therefore different from a traditional shared apartment.

Residents have their own private home while being able to use shared spaces and connect with other people living in the building. The amount of interaction is entirely up to the individual resident.

Someone may spend the day working in a co-working space and meeting other residents, while another person may prefer to work privately in their apartment and enjoy the shared facilities only occasionally.

The concept is designed to accommodate both lifestyles.

Living and Working Under One Roof

FU.Life is also designed around the connection between living and working.

Each apartment provides a dedicated workspace, while shared co-working areas offer an additional environment for focused work. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the apartments.

This makes FU.Life particularly relevant for remote workers, professionals, students and people staying in Berlin for work-related reasons.

Four Design Worlds

FU.Life apartments are organized into four design concepts:

  • Wind – light, airy and open
  • Earth – warm, natural and grounded
  • Water – calm, clear and focused
  • Fire – lively, warm and energetic

These categories primarily describe the atmosphere and interior design of the apartments rather than different service or contract models.

Who is FU.Life Designed For?

FU.Life is designed for people who want a furnished, flexible and ready-to-live-in home in Berlin.

Professionals

FU.Life can be suitable for people moving to Berlin for:

  • a new job
  • a temporary project
  • a professional assignment
  • a company relocation
  • a longer business stay
  • a transition between homes

Many FU.Life residents come to Berlin for projects, new jobs or a temporary stay.

International Residents & Newcomers

FU.Life is also designed for people who are new to Berlin.

A furnished apartment can simplify the transition to a new city because the basic household setup is already in place. Residents do not need to arrange furniture, kitchen equipment or internet connections before moving in.

FU.Life also provides guides and information for people arriving in Berlin for the first time, including practical information about settling into the city.

Remote Workers & Students

The combination of a private workspace, high-speed Wi-Fi and optional co-working areas makes FU.Life suitable for remote work and study.

Residents can work from their own apartment or use the shared co-working spaces depending on their preferred working environment.

Couples, Friends & Small Groups

FU.Life also offers apartment categories for more than one person.

Depending on the apartment type, the current Berlin offering includes accommodation for one to six guests, ranging from single and double rooms to suites and fully equipped apartments with separate bedrooms and living areas.

People Looking for Privacy and Community

FU.Life is particularly relevant for people who want the privacy of their own apartment without completely giving up the social aspects of communal living.

The community is available, but participation remains optional.

Apartments & Apartment Types

FU.Life offers fully furnished apartments in different sizes and layouts.

The current Berlin offering includes three main apartment categories.

Spacious Single & Double Rooms

20–50 m² | 1–2 guests

  • premium beds
  • a private workspace
  • a fully equipped kitchenette

They are designed for individual residents or two guests looking for a private and compact living environment.

Comfortable Suites

20–30 m² | 1–3 guests

Suites provide:

  • a private living space
  • a fully equipped kitchenette
  • a workspace
  • a private bathroom

Fully Equipped Apartments

From 30 m² | 2–6 guests

These larger apartments include:

  • a fully equipped kitchen
  • separate bedrooms

It combines:

**the privacy of an apartment

  • the convenience of serviced living
  • the flexibility of furnished accommodation
  • the community aspect of co-living.**

Compared with a Hotel

Residents do not need to purchase furniture, kitchen equipment or set up an internet connection before moving in.

There is also currently no minimum rental period.

Its distinguishing element is the stronger emphasis on co-living, co-working, shared spaces and community.

Community exists around the private living space rather than replacing it.
