OOOTOPIA KAI TAK
We were commissioned in late 2018 by a real estate fund to research, explore and design a co-living-inspired serviced
apartment concept primarily targeting young creatives, professional couples, small families and students who want to live in harmony with like-minded people in Hong Kong and Asia.
Our client had purchased three existing in buildings in up- and-coming locations across Hong Kong, namely To Kwa Wan, Tai Kok Tsui and Sai Wan with the goal of regenerating them to match the nascent nature of the neighbourhoods and fit seamlessly into the area’s existing personality.
We set out to create communities that, unlike other co-living concepts, prioritises private space just as much as the carefully designed communal areas by providing residents with smart furnishings, flexible room types and intelligent technology that align with their varied lifestyles. It was certainly developed with a certain type of tenant in mind. Someone who’s open-minded, open to different cultures, happy to share, is independent and actually has something to offer the world.
Our properties are largely in the heart of Hong Kong’s undiscovered areas. Up-and-coming neighbourhoods with a wealth of history waiting to be told. We believe it's our responsibility to share these lesser-known locales, including their colourful residents, restaurants, bars and boutiques, with the world. We’ve therefore been very careful to factor in elements of the immediate culture and community, utilising a range of materials to create environments which reflect the properties past, present and future. We really want the fabric of Hong Kong -- indigenous Hong Kong -- to shine through, as we know from our research that residents prefer authentic flavours over the ostentatious and superficial. That’s not to say that we can’t be flexible with space and amenities we provide.
