Discover how BTR Interior Design plays a pivotal role in shaping the operational success of a Build to Rent scheme. Beyond aesthetics, it becomes a strategic tool to optimise the functionality and efficiency of various aspects within the property.
We spoke to Karolina Adamczyk, Chief Visionary Officer at Ademchic, to find out how design can seamlessly align with the operational requirements of a BTR scheme.
Key Design Considerations
Lobby Dynamics: The lobby serves as the gateway to a resident’s experience and a point of immediate value/brand positioning. Efficient design should consider the flow of people between the concierge, post room and other internal areas.
Back of House Services: The location and design of back-of-house services are vital for operational efficiency. Well-planned service areas contribute to the smooth functioning of maintenance, cleaning, and other essential services.
Corridor Configuration: Corridors are often overlooked, but their design can significantly impact the overall functionality. Well-designed corridors facilitate smooth traffic flow, provide emergency evacuation routes, and contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal.
Acoustic Considerations: Music can be strategically used to filter out negative background noise, creating a more pleasant living environment. Acoustic design plays a crucial role in minimising disturbances.
Scent for Wellbeing: The strategic use of scent can significantly impact residents’ perception of a space. Designing for wellbeing involves integrating scents that create a sense of welcome.
Material Specification for Longevity: In BTR schemes, the longevity of materials is paramount. Opting for durable, low-maintenance materials reduces the need for frequent repairs and replacements.
In conclusion, design in the context of a BTR scheme goes beyond aesthetics; it becomes a tool for operational optimisation.
