Habitat 203: Crafting an Apartment for the Community In the heart of our city, an ambitious venture named Habitat 203 emerged – a project that sought not just to build apartments but to weave a story of urban living that echoed with the design philosophies It all began with a vision. inspired by avant-garde approach and timeless elegance, envisioned a space that would transcend the ordinary. The blueprints were more than just plans; they were a promise to craft a home that embraced innovation and sophistication in equal measure. With that the design process unfolded like an intricate dance. Each element emphasis on functional aesthetics, was meticulously brought to life. The spaces took shape, purposefully maximizing every square foot to ensure residents would experience not just comfort, but a lifestyle tailored with precision. Investing in Success: For the builders and developers, it was more than a project; it was an investment in creativity and design system. They understood that Habitat 203 wasn't just a structure; it was a commitment to design excellence that would attract discerning residents and elevate the entire community . As the apartments took shape, an unexpected joy emerged – a ripple effect. The allure of Habitat 203 attracted a diverse community, fostering growth and vibrancy. It wasn't just about constructing a building; it was about building a community, a thriving neighborhood that evolved and grew around this architectural gem.

An often-overlooked element of successful regeneration is asking the question on the validity of an ‘Instagrammable’ moment. People are drawn to environments that provide genuine destinations to eat, work and socialise, and increasingly, those that afford a photo-worthy memory. We need look no further than the heritage buildings and rich local histories that contextualise our high streets and town centres in the UK to provide such distinct spaces.  In this Building Design. article, I outline why placemakers delivering for future generations should consider social media appeal in the design process: https://lnkd.in/eFgjdPbp

In my opinion, the most important task of urban designer is to build a place where all people can easily be present, where social interactions can take place, and what happens in the eyes of the people present in the space is preferable to all the factors that happen in the plan design. Many urban designers are so involved in the design of the space plan that they even forget whether they have created a suitable access for its different parts or not? Urban design typically entails spatial relations and the art of designing a meaningful relation between the solid and the void, the building and the space, so that the void becomes as meaningful in its shape as the solid. It includes consideration of networks and non-physical aspects such as visual relations, communication, transport, air flow, infrastructure, and the like in such a manner that solids, voids, and the various systems form synergies, are sustainable, resilient, and equitable. Some key principles for successful urban design include creating a strong sense of place, designing for the human scale, ensuring accessibility, and focusing on legibility and layering to make space work and easily. #urbandesign #urbanlandscape #urbanlandscape #landscapedesign #landscape #placemaking

Architecture in the Age of Likes 👍 With a priority of how to make our high streets and town centres thrive, Trevor Morriss posits whether re-energising areas with Instagram-friendly ‘moments’ is actually a question of viability, not vanity. Tapping into the cultural fibres and heritage assets that set one place apart from another is an integral part of the storytelling that underpins excellent placemaking. With a compelling narrative and context-driven design, this in turn can entice social-media savvy consumers and occupiers who will promote spaces and help to increase footfall and a sense of local community and pride.
