127 Living

The unusual design of the 127 Living apartment building in Bogotá is tailored to the young and creative. With unique floor plans, the building is designed for residents to live in a communal atmosphere with shared places on each floor, each dedicated to a different purpose. The second floor provides a place to relax and play games, such as foosball or ping-pong, while the third floor offers a collaborative co-working space for those who work remotely. The 15-floor building also has a gym on the fourth floor, a dining area on the fifth floor and outdoor space on the roof. The 900 one-bedroom units are tailored to personality types, such as artists, musicians, bikers or those who simply want to maximize their closet space.

The 127 Living community also cares about living an environmentally-friendly lifestyle.
