Default Would a Maxillaria schunkeana survive in a livingroom or coldroom environment?

everyone,
since I am lacking a proper place (aka a greenhouse) to grow my beloved plants, I have to do with the places I can find in my house. Now, I have fallen in love with a little Maxillaria called schunkeana . I'd very much like to try this little one, and I have heard they tolerate many different conditions. Would this specie survive in a cool room (temp approx. 15 degrees celsius, 50-60 humidity) where I also grow my coelogyne cristata & fimbriata, or should I better give up on the dream of growing this specie? I'd rather have some tips and advice before I spend money on a plant that might be doomed if I try .
Advise would be more then welcome!!

it's a cool growing species, so it should be fine in a cool room.

It's temperature tolerant. You can grow with Coelogyne cristata & Coel fimbriata.

Thanks for the advise, if I can grow it along with my Coels, I think I'm going to give it a try!
