Inside a ‘Dystopian’ Apartment Block Where That Houses Over 20,000 Residence.

A viral TikTok video showcased a massive building in China known as the “Dystopian Apartment,” capable of accommodating 30,000 residents. User @fatheristheone shared the video using a drone, highlighting not only the impressive interior and unique design but also the sheer size of the structure that amazed viewers.

Many people are familiar with dystopian novels, which usually depict societies living in fear or stripped of humanity. While these are often fictional, some see them as cautionary tales. In China, there is now an apartment building that can accommodate 30,000 people, equipped with all necessary amenities.

The Regent International apartment in Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhou, was designed by Alicia Loo, the chief designer of the Singapore Sands Hotel. Built in 2013, it stands 675 feet tall and houses approximately 20,000 residents. The building has an S-shape and either 36 or 39 floors, depending on the side. It is one of the most densely populated areas globally, with many residents living together under one roof.

The Regent International has over 30 floors with various amenities like restaurants, pools, and nail salons. It even has grocery stores and internet cafes. Everything you need can be found inside this “dystopian apartment.” Some worry that residents may miss out on fresh air and sunlight, but it’s important to note that they are not compelled to stay indoors. Most residents are young professionals, influencers, or college students who find living in this S-shaped building cost-effective and convenient.

Living at Regent International offers incredible convenience with all necessities under one roof. Affordability is also a major advantage. Units come in different sizes and prices, ranging from 1,500 RMB (around $200) to 4,000 RMB (just under $600) per month. While some people are worried about it being a “dystopian apartment,” others have praised its innovative design. It has even been hailed as “the most sustainable living building on earth.”

Amidst the housing crisis in the U.S., this concept could offer a solution to increase living spaces without consuming large amounts of land. The city of Whittier in Alaska has already adopted a similar concept. They have a 14-story building where all 272 residents reside, resembling a hotel transformed into an apartment complex. This building provides a range of amenities including a church, school, post office, and police station.

However, there are potential downsides. The building is called a “dystopian apartment” for a reason. Many people are curious about how so many individuals can live in one place. Americans generally prefer privacy and space from their neighbors, enjoying yards for relaxation or for their dogs to play. A major drawback of this housing solution is the lack of personal space and limited opportunities to be outdoors. Fortunately, this issue can be resolved by taking a walk or renting one of the larger units in the Regent International, which come with balconies and offer some relief from the confined living spaces.
