Depending who you ask, Cosmo Park is an ingenious urban oasis or an ill-conceived dystopia. It is a surreal urban bubble, where normal life unfolds at an abnormal altitude.

Peer beyond the fence and you can spot the city’s landmarks below.

“I feel like this is a real house, not an apartment,” exclaims Indri Lestari, who moved into Cosmo Park with her husband, who is Spanish, and their young son three months ago. “It’s just there is no kaki lima [street food cart] here,” she jokes.
