Digital Co-living: UX Design of an Application for Generation Z

This thesis focuses on designing a digital solution to support the functioning of shared households, with particular emphasis on the needs and habits of young adults, specifically members of Generation Z. The theoretical part explores the topic of shared living in relation to key aspects that affect everyday coexistence, which includes the organization of household chores, the management of shared expenses and communication among household members. Key requirements have been defined based on the qualitative research conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews and an analysis of existing competing applications. The design process followed the Double Diamond framework, encompassing the phases of discovery, problem definition, concept design and its validation using the interactive prototype created in Figma. The final mobile application integrates tools for expense tracking, chore planning, a shared calendar and communications functions in the form of chat, voting and notifications. Emphasis is placed on simplicity, clarity and adaptability, including the ability to customize the interface appearance. The proposed concept reflects the specific needs of the target group and offers the potential to improve everyday collaboration in shared households.
