Housing and Custom Residential

A home’s interior is at the heart of a good design: once your residents are inside the front door, they are truly “home.” So it’s important to get the room relationships and room design right. It is also important to develop a few different “right” configurations that will work for the many different people who will live in your housing development. Just as different neighborhood contexts call for different design approaches outside, the units themselves should be different inside for seniors than they will be for families, and different supportive services will require different types of rooms and different spatial arrangements. This Design Update discusses some of the principles of unit design and introduces an important and useful tool that will help you seek input from future residents and other members of the design team while designing your next affordable housing development.  Visit Design Advisor for the complete tip.
