In conversation with CNN Business, SGA Vice President Maren Reepmeyer AIA, LEED AP shares insight into the challenges and opportunities office-to-residential conversions present owners, designers, and communities. “Buildings with larger floors are much harder to convert," says Reepmeyer. "As an architect it is really fun to think of ways to solve for that – carve out the inside with nooks and crannies, punch out a light well, create a courtyard, add little balconies. But they cost money.” What does this mean for our cities? Read more ➡️ https://cnn.it/3u4Uzrw

Re-Sensualizing Our Living Spaces Why not embrace a home that touches all your senses? The latest trend in eco-friendly architecture brings us back to the basics: spaces that feel, spaces that breathe. At Inspire Collective, we're crafting environments that reconnect you with the natural beauty of raw materials and forms. It's about simplicity, utility, and a sense of belonging. Imagine a home that not only shelters but also stimulates your senses, a place that evolves with you. Our designs strive for this intimate connection, creating spaces that are not just seen but felt. P.S. What natural elements do you wish to see more of in your living space? Let’s discuss and bring your sensory vision to life. #SensoryDesign #NaturalMaterials #EcoArchitecture #SimpleLiving #MindfulSpaces

🔁 Flexible, multipurpose spaces in a house are a cornerstone of innovation and practicality. As architects of comfort and functionality, we perceive the home not merely as static structures but as dynamic environments capable of transforming to meet evolving lifestyles. 🔁 Adaptable spaces allow seamless transitions, catering to various needs throughout the day, from work to hosting guests. 🎨 Flexible spaces enhance aesthetic and spark creativity, enabling dynamic arrangements that evolve with personal style and changing trends. 📦 Hidden multipurpose areas minimize clutter, promoting a sense of spaciousness while offering practical solutions for storage and organization. #storagesolutions #homedecor #interiordesign

Here's how build-to-rent tenants want you to design homes and communities differently (and 3 projects that do it right) ⬇ 1️⃣ Include enough storage. What does "enough" mean? It depends on the product type - Cottage home tenants think about storage differently than Single-Family Detached or Rowhome tenants. Farm Haus by AHV Communities (architecture by KTGY) accomplishes this with a pantry that utilizes space under the stairs. 2️⃣ Create spaces to gather outdoors. If you are catering to families, kids need space to play outdoors... and "on the street" doesn't cut it. Villas at Nexton by Capstone Communities (architecture by Nequette Architecture & Design) includes generous green spaces in the community to compliment a front porch lifestyle. 3️⃣ Add a workspace. Tenants need a space to work from home. That said, it doesn't need to be a full formal office. Watermark Companies brings the flex room to build-to-rent with a 13’5” x 8’9” space tucked behind the great room at Canvas at Castle Rock (architecture by Danielian Associates Architects + Planners). Tenant frustrations are a great way to unlock design inspiration. #JBREC #NHTI #buildtorent

We continue to see increased economic activity and recovery from the pandemic era, examples include: - Regional mall redevelopments moving forward, of mixed use, with multi-family and senior living communities being added to increase activity. - Renovating and repurposing existing multi-family facility and senior facilities to more current expectations. This includes combining resident units for larger spaces, redesigning public areas, adding pools, updating finishes, and new interior amenities. - Repositioning and master planning: To get ahead of competitors and market conditions, or plan for new and expanded facilities, designs and preparation needs to start for the shovels to be in the ground at the most opportune market times. - Carriage houses in large developments are trending. - Office renovation & planning: Test fitting new layouts and renovating tenant spaces to adapt to the new normal in-office work policies and integrating work from home capacities, while adding amenities for staff. SAS Architects & Planners, LLC is ready to engage on these topics and tell you more about how we can be part of your next project. #architecture #development #design #seniorliving

Our modernization of this call center shows how repurposing spaces can unlock incredible potential. Two former concrete vaults were transformed into a sleek conference room and private phone booths - keeping that vintage flair alive. But the real showstoppers? Those iconic vault doors and repurposed security boxes, now serving as media consoles and bar seating in the break room. With bold diagonal walls creating departments and that extra dash of personality, this place is buzzing with energy. We don't just design workspaces - we craft experiences that spark creativity and embrace your company's unique culture. Breathing new life into sites is our calling! Let's discuss how we can do the same for you! #OfficeDesign #workplacedesign #officebranding #architecture #interiordesign #commercialarchitecture #a2studioad #womeninarchitecture #womenininteriordesign #workplacedesign #wbenc #aia #womanownedbusiness #culture #innovation #engagement #collaboration
