About us

Alic and Nils first met while studying in London in the early 2000s. We shared a student apartment and quickly became good friends. Over the years, we kept in touch, meeting up in different cities around the world.

In 2022, with the help of Žanete, we started SIA Axxio and introduced "Coliving Residences" to offer better student accommodations in Riga.

At Coliving Residences, we do more than provide accommodations. We're dedicated to shaping an unmatched coliving experience for (international) students in Riga, emphasizing exceptional service, comfort, and design.

Our vision extends beyond commerce. We're driven by a deep desire to contribute positively to Riga's growth and the overall well-being of Latvia.
