The students Davinia Franco, Laura González and Josemi Madrigal, the three belonging to the Degree in Integral Design and Image Management at the Rey Juan Carlos University, have been the winners of the first Challenge Coliving Urban Campus-Rey Juan Carlos University. The company Urban Campus, dedicated to the design of collaborative spaces for coliving y coworking, and the Degree in Comprehensive Design and Image Management of the Rey Juan Carlos University have been the promoters of this ideas contest that took place between the months of March and December 2020. The objective was to encourage the students of the Degrees in Creative Industries of this university (Integral Design, Architecture, Fine Arts and Fashion) to rethink the coexistence spaces of Urban Campus in Madrid, in the Covid-19 era. 

The pandemic was and continues to be a challenge for coexistence in public and private spaces in cities. Given this context, the Coliving Challenge invited participants to propose technical and creative solutions capable of generating a new housing concept. The 21 registered students could face the test from four main disciplines: graphic design, product design, space design and image management. There was also the possibility of doing it transversally to all of them. The winning proposals are focused on product design. The student Davinia Franco bets on the Bed On, Bed Off concept, based on an elevating bed that allows the space available in a room to be expanded. For their part, the students Laura González and Josemi Madrigal offer a modular piece of furniture that includes a hydroalcoholic gel dispenser and masks, and a repository of personal effects. 

The prizes awarded to the winners include a certificate of participation, a package of free hours of work in the coworking of Urban Campus located in the Carrera de San Jerónimo and, most importantly, the professional assessment of their work for a hypothetical production and application in the private spaces of Urban Campus. Urban Campus and the Rey Juan Carlos University are expected to continue collaborating on initiatives related to the development of spaces for coexistence.
