With ordinary people struggling to find affordable accommodation, co-living have grown into popularity as it lowers living costs but able to provide a more comfortable home. Contented Living has recently renovated 29-31 Battery Street, Jordan, adding more practicality and artistic elements into an old building.

Miss Venny Chan, the co-founder of Contented Living and our designer, Nico Yeung, has been invited to a television programme called Property Outlook from i-Cable TV, to share their views on implementation of designs to a co-living space on a limited budget.

Sharing a home, also known as co-living is a first step to independence for many young millennials. So, how does the concept of co-living work?

In co-living spaces, tenants usually have their own bedroom but they share the communal area like living room, kitchen and bathroom with other tenants. To have a real life experience of living in a co-living space, we are privileged to have Ivan from Apple Daily to stay in one of our 700 feet room at 29-31 Battery Street, Jordan for two days and a night. He did several activities with his housemates like playing video games, going to nearby market for daily supplies and cooked his hometown cuisine to share. He had fun living in the room and exchanging cultural differences with his housemates. Check out the video to learn more about co-living!

With the property prices in Hong Kong skyrocketing, co-living has redefined the concept of home. The younger generation who are not able to afford a property of their own are gradually seeking for alternative options, for more affordable, high-quality rental rooms that provide better flexibility and also a better quality of life.

The co-founder of Contented Living, Miss Venny Chan, has recently been interviewed in a television programme known as “A Property A Day” by Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB). She shares her knowledge and ideas on the concept of co-living.

One of our tenants by the name of Hei has also joined us in the interview to share his feelings about our services at Contented Living.
