Skypark by New World Development in Hong Kong 8 1020x610

As millennials continue to migrate to high-priced urban areas, some are choosing to live in co-living spaces: dorm-style residential buildings in which they rent a single room and get access to shared amenities.

In Hong Kong, Dutch architecture firm Concrete has designed a luxury complex for millennials with that co-living model in mind.

Called Skypark, the building opened in March 2017. Residents rent traditional apartments, ranging from studios to two-bedrooms, rather than individual rooms. But according to the Skypark designers, their goal was to fill the building with communal spaces, including a swanky rooftop lounge and indoor pool, where residents can get to know their neighbors and escape city life.

Take a look inside the building, where residents pay up to $3,400 per month.

Skypark is located in central Kowloon, a neighborhood in northern Hong Kong.



Its name refers to the building's rooftop garden, called the Lawn, which features greenery and views of the city's skyline. Recycled rainwater is used to water the plants.



The rooftop's steps have amphitheater-style seating where residents can hang out.
