An inspired new way of living

This article is brought to you by lyf by The Ascott Limited.

In a landscape where we're sharing cabs to get to our shared flexible workspaces, lyf by Ascott takes the concept further up the value chain to signify a new way of living and collaborating as a community.

Brightly-lit and thoughtfully-decorated rooms, hosted within contemporary neighbourhoods, purpose-built communal spaces that allow you to socialise and network, yet the flexibility to zip in and out of your dedicated space to allow time to yourself while travelling - welcome to a coliving serviced apartment designed and operated by lyf, The Ascott Limited's (Ascott) new coliving brand.

In a landscape where we're sharing cabs to get to our shared workspaces, lyf (pronounced 'life') takes the concept further up the value chain to redefine a new way of living and collaborating. Picture a dynamic living environment where the social kitchen and pantry can be a networking spot, while the communal lounge can double up as a space for activities like industry talks or workshops.

Living and communal spaces

In Singapore's growing coliving market, lyf's adaptable living spaces cater to both the work and play elements of its residents. The apartment is fun, quirky and versatile.

From the ‘One of a Kind’ studio (about 14-18 sqm) to the ‘Two of a Kind’ unit (paired room of about 35 sqm, with two private rooms and a shared kitchen), residents can choose what fits their needs and budget. Project groups can opt for the ‘All Together’ unit (business suites of about 70-120 sqm) that can accommodate up to nine guests, providing a shared kitchen, interactive display screens to facilitate discussions as well as a large table that doubles up as a collaborative working zone and dining area.

Each lyf property has 'Connect' coworking areas for residents that can be easily transformed into zones for workshops or social gatherings. When it's time for a break, they can visit the 'Bond' social kitchen to prepare home-cooked meals and learn about global cuisines from other guests. Meanwhile, chores are a breeze when residents can play a round of foosball while waiting for their laundry to be done at the ‘Wash & Hang’ laundromat.

For those of us looking for more networking and interaction, social programmes such as cooking classes, movie nights and craft workshops are organised weekly by lyf’s Ambassador of Buzz (AOB). Also on standby are lyf Guards, who are community managers, city and food guides, bar keepers and problem solvers all rolled into one.

Plugging in to this vibrant community

Catering to both short- and long-stay residents, expect to find a typical lyf apartment housing Millennials (and the Millennial-minded), technopreneurs, self-starters, digital nomads, and change makers.
