Give every room a function Help prospective purchasers see the true potential in your home by giving every room a purpose. Got a spare room that’s currently a dumping ground for all sorts of household knick-knacks? Turn it back into a bedroom or a hobby room. Currently using the dining room table as a home office? Clear away the computer and make sure visitors to your open home can imagine themselves gathered around the table making magic memories with friends and family. #remuera #auckland #colleenharris #johannaleighton #aucklandrealestate #aucklandproperty #bayleysremuera #bayleysnz #altogetherbetter

Let's say your spare bedroom is currently a "catch-all." A better tactic would be to turn it into a "flex room" so potential buyers can see it being used as a workout room, playroom, or maybe even an office. The key? Stage your rooms for their intended purpose. ️ 👉 Dining room? Set a beautiful table! 👉 Home office? Add a desk and chair to show functionality. 👉 Empty corner? Create a cozy reading nook or guest space. Contact me for a free consultation!

Double trouble... Can you believe it was just a week ago that I posted about spanakopita and now I have to talk about it again? Spanakopita gratin at OMA in Borough, swept up with glistening malawach. Totally different to Morchella, equally irresistible. Do good things come in twos? OMA is certainly an argument in favour of that notion. A first floor restaurant which has a sister restaurant, AGORA, downstairs, think casual vibe, industrial interiors, walk-ins only. An antidote to the formality and precision upstairs, a place that you can pop into for a quick bite. The split, Ground Floor / First Floor restaurants with different concepts is a staple in pubs, lively Ground Floor, matched with a more elegant First Floor dining room. The most well-known example in the London restaurant scene is Super Eight’s corner of Shoreditch, housing Brat above Smoking Goat. The upper floors, not accessible from the street (obviously), are destination restaurants, with rents typically reflecting this. So just as we predicted that operators will increasingly favour building hype online to drag people around the corner to a side-street, expect to see more operators trying to convince their customers that the only way is up. It does help a bit when you can entice people in with views like this, capturing the open kitchen as you climb the stairs. #property #leisure #hospitality #opportunitiesunlocked #onepoint2

My colleague, Scot Morris, shared valuable insights on the inefficiencies of using round tables in cafeteria/multipurpose rooms. Schools often stick to traditional setups without considering the drawbacks. Here's a summary of the key points for consideration: - Round tables are space-inefficient, with only the edges being utilized, wasting valuable square footage. - While suitable for dining, round tables lack adaptability for other functions, leaving 85% of the day's time unaddressed. - They contribute to noise levels, limiting interactions to neighboring individuals and creating a chaotic environment. It's essential to rethink the layout of these versatile spaces to optimize their use within school buildings. Have you experienced similar challenges in your educational facilities? Let's continue the conversation on efficient room utilization. #cafeteriaspace#schooldesign#spaceplanning
