Make the Most of That Spare Bedroom So you’ve got a spare bedroom in your home, and you aren’t sure what to do with it. Rather than letting it sit empty (or worse, as a storage space), let’s go over some options for the future of that spare room. Spare bedrooms make for excellent flex spaces, allowing you to make efficient use of the extra space you have. As you’re reading through this list, think about what uses seem best for you and consider how you might make your spare bedroom useful for two or more uses. #affordableluxury #customspaces, #raleighnc #interiordesign, #customdesign, #ecofriendlybuilding #apexnc #durhamnc #raleighhomes #customrenovation

Innovative Design and Smart Solutions in Updated Office Buildings. One detail that stood out to me recently was the innovative design of an updated office building I visited “Harborside 1”. While attending the The Jersey City Summit by roundtable&advisory at the 601W Companies building, I noticed an all-in-one wash bar by Bradley Australia which includes soap, wash, and dry functions. This smart solution prevents water from being dragged across the floor, enhancing both safety and efficiency. This experience got me thinking about the importance of thoughtful design in commercial properties. Whether it’s an innovative wash bar or a well-planned layout, these details can significantly impact the user experience and operational efficiency. Constantly updating office buildings with smart and safe solutions is crucial for maintaining high standards and attracting tenants. Having a background in construction gives me a unique perspective as a broker. I understand buildings from the inside out, which allows me to see beyond the surface and appreciate the intricacies of design and functionality. This knowledge not only helps me identify the best properties for my clients but also adds value in discussions about property improvements and potential.

When property owners build the fitout of an office space before a tenant has committed to lease it, it is called a speculative fitout. There are many benefits to a speculative fitout for both the prospective tenant and the developer. The main advantage is that the prospective tenant looking for their new office space can immediately see and experience what they will get if they lease the office. There is a rising trend for companies to prefer this option. There are many benefits to a speculative fitout for both the prospective tenant and the developer.

Financial incentives are being proposed by cities across the country for developers to turn vacant office spaces into mixed-use, residential properties. Although office buildings are a higher income generator, the market for them has decreased significantly in the last couple of years. Deciding which office buildings to convert into apartments and condos isn't an easy task. Read this article to learn which factors should be considered before implementing these conversions: https://hubs.la/Q025D1Y10 #architectureanddesign #architecture #officeconversions #design #panels #sustainabledesign #fundermax #createwithfundermax #architects #sustainablematerials #morethanapanel #buildingmaterials

Converting vacant office buildings to housing is not an easy fix for our ailing downtowns. Not by a long shot. I’ve wrestled with a number of conversions myself over the years and they have never been straightforward. There is no magic sauce. The unhappy truth is that retrofits are hard, expensive and sometimes make no sense at all. Here’s why … Large floor plate office buildings generally have one central core, with elevators, bathrooms and utility runs in the middle of a very large open space. Natural light only reaches the middle because there are no walls. A multi-family residential building requires the reverse. Lots of bathrooms and kitchens stacked on top of each other, with utility runs spread throughout the building. And once you add demising walls for bedrooms and living spaces, there is precious little natural light for living in. In many instances it might be more efficient (and less expensive) to start from scratch. Historic office buildings are perhaps the exception - their smaller floor plates can more easily be converted into housing, if you can find one. Of course this means that vacancies in downtowns will persist for some time. No-one knows yet what will happen to all of those office towers. But I’ll bet some real estate innovators are already testing new ideas. Some other building use will bubble up. Something that accepts the configuration of these buildings as an asset and doesn’t try to squeeze them into a use they were never meant for.

CAT A+ THE PLUG-AND-PLAY OFFICE In his latest blog, our Head of Interior Architecture, Tom Shelley talks about the move towards CAT A+ offices. In a post-pandemic world, there’s no doubt that the pace of change has accelerated. In the commercial office environment, landlords and tenants have had to embrace changes to working patterns, increased reliance on technology and the move towards hybrid working. The impact of these trends is that existing offices may no longer be the right size or configuration to meet tenants’ evolving needs around collaborative working, recruitment and talent retention and workplace culture. If interior refurbishment isn’t an option, businesses may need to find a new home #officedesign #officeinteriors #officefitout Laura Baarda Emma Black Rebecca Jones - Graphic Designer Michael Feather
