Keep it clean
One of the key parts of living together is creating a tidy, clean, and welcoming space for everyone.
Living with others comes with many benefits, and everyone plays a role in maintaining that “home sweet home” feeling.
TomoDomo provides weekly professional cleaning of the shared spaces.
However, it's essential that everyone cleans as they go and helps keep spaces tidy.
We follow the rule: Leave the space better than you found it, especially after hosting guests or an event.
Please refer to our house rules

Community & Socializing
One of the most beloved activities in coliving is: cooking, inspiring, chatting (and cleaning!) together.
We believe sharing a meal is one of the best ways to build a sense of home and community.
It’s a time to relax, reflect on your day, and connect with others.
Check the #events channel on Slack for upcoming dinners and gatherings.
Planning something yourself? Please post it so others can join in.
External guests should be announced in the #visitors Slack channel.

The Building & Facilities
We share this building with the team from X-TRA Productions. They are essentially our landlords and work in their offices on the 4th floor.
Their team did most of the work setting up our beautiful facilities. If you like it, let them know! They also help us with repairs and maintenance of the building.
There are three floors with a total of 35 rooms. We share the two large kitchens on the 2nd and 3rd floors. To distribute people evenly between the two kitchens, everyone from rooms 318 – 321, should use the kitchen on the 2nd floor.
All floors are accessible by elevator and stairs.
X-TRA Concert & Party Benefits
As part of the Community in TomoDomo X-TRA, we have partnered with X-TRA Productions AG to offer special benefits for in-house events. This gives you free access to various concerts and parties.
Here’s what you should know:
For general parties, our community receives exclusive entry tickets - we get a certain quota from X-TRA Productions AG in the form of physical, yellow admission tickets. If you’d like to use one, for example for the Roller Disco, ask the community and write your name and room number on the back of the ticket before handing it in at the official entrance to get free admission.
For concerts and certain large parties (such as Street Parade events or Mystica) organized by external promoters, a spot on the guest list is required. You can request this, but it’s not guaranteed and must be confirmed separately each time
Your annual guest list quota:
Each room receives per year:
3 free guest list spots for concerts of your choice (subject to availability)
3 free guest list spots for large parties organized by external promoters
Community members who pay a double occupancy fee receive 3 additional entries for concerts and parties (so a total of 12 entries per year).
This quota applies to each calendar year; once used up, no further entries are possible.
How to request a guest list spot
1) Send an email to info@tomodomo.ch with the following information:
Date of the event
Name of the artist or party
Your first and last name, and room number
2) We will forward your request to X-TRA Productions.
3) You will receive an email response with the decision.
