A really interesting morning at the UK Co-Living Summit by Bisnow on Tuesday with Laura Brown-Little and Rowdy Studio. Some great insights from two expert panels on the investment opportunity and the evolution of the offer. My key takeaways on what’s coming in co-living: 1️⃣ There’s a real opportunity to be experiential and question what space is and how we use it. Shifting the focus from maximising a square metre measurement to questioning how space can be pushed will elevate quality and enhance the overall experience for all. 2️⃣ Co-living has a tricky reputation and the move away from ‘cluster’ to ‘studio-led’ living will help educate and shape perceptions and move it towards becoming a subset of Build-to-rent. 3️⃣ Expanding the definition of co-living to community living so it extends beyond the interior walls and engages with the surrounding location. Bringing the outside in and opening up ground-floor amenities as public spaces. 4️⃣ Refurbishment to co-living is faster and has the potential to harness unused offices and retail spaces in neglected city centres creating new activity and support for local economies.

Check out this blog series around discussions on equity, sustainability, and health with some of my fellow colleagues and emerging leaders at Civitas. Topics, that may sound cliche and overused, but are integral in the design of successful places. (accompanied by obligatory design-in-action shot 👊)

#DidYouKnow that office developments with top-tier BREEAM certifications lease three times faster than others? According to a new analysis from UK-based property advisor Savills, occupiers are increasingly seeking higher-quality office environments that meet strict environmental standards. As demand for sustainable spaces grows, properties that fall short face greater risks in attracting and retaining tenants. Ensuring your office developments meet these criteria is more important than ever!  #BREEAM #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #CommercialRealEstate 

The greenest building might be the one that already exists. In the latest #StantecDesignQuarterly, we look at repositioning an office tower, learning from a bold vision for the Astrodome, adjusting to new building performance standards in cities, and much more. Check out Issue 21: #AdaptiveReuse.
