Are you a developer gearing up for a multi-family housing project? Crafting standout community areas within your apartment complex can set your property apart and attract discerning tenants. At Mackenzie Collier Interiors, we specialize in designing interior spaces that exceed expectations while staying within your budget and timeline. Our firm is located in Phoenix, Arizona where multi-family housing developments are booming. Tenants have a wide variety of options when choosing their next rental home, so it's critical to stand out from the crowd. 

Here are ten unique perks to consider for your community areas:

Interactive Art Installation

Instead of traditional artwork, opt for an interactive art installation that engages residents and sparks conversation. Whether it's a kinetic sculpture, a digital display, or an immersive light installation, interactive art adds a dynamic element to communal spaces. Showcase local artwork throughout the community area to add character and charm. Collaborate with local artists to curate a diverse collection that reflects the culture and identity of the neighborhood.

Urban Garden Oasis

Transform an unused corner of your complex into an urban garden oasis. Incorporate raised planters, vertical gardens, and seating areas where residents can cultivate their own herbs or vegetables, fostering a sense of connection to nature in the heart of the city. You could also install a striking vertical garden wall in a communal area, adding a lush and vibrant touch to the space.

Wellness Retreat

Create a dedicated wellness area within the complex, complete with amenities like a sauna, hot tub, as well as meditation and yoga spaces. Encourage residents to prioritize self-care and relaxation with a serene sanctuary designed for rejuvenation. Create a sensory experience with the sounds of flowing water from a fountain, scents from plug in oil diffusers, and the visual softness of candles or lighting features. 

Rooftop Observatory

Take advantage of rooftop space by transforming it into an observatory where residents can stargaze and marvel at the night sky. Install telescopes, lounge seating, and educational signage to create an immersive celestial experience. For community events, you could bring in local astronomy experts to teach workshops. 

Virtual Reality Gaming Room

Embrace cutting-edge technology with a virtual reality gaming room where residents can immerse themselves in virtual worlds and interactive experiences. Provide VR headsets, motion controllers, and comfortable seating for an unparalleled gaming experience.

Community Art Studio

Foster creativity and collaboration with a dedicated community art studio where residents can unleash their artistic talents. Equip the studio with easels, art supplies, and workstations for painting, drawing, sculpting, and more.

Co-working Space

As remote work becomes increasingly common, a dedicated co-working space within the complex is highly desirable. Provide comfortable seating, high-speed internet access, and private meeting rooms to support residents' professional needs.

Sensory Garden

Design a sensory garden that engages residents' senses through sight, sound, touch, and scent. Incorporate elements like wind chimes, water features, fragrant flowers, and textured pathways for a therapeutic and immersive experience.

Outdoor Cinema

Create a magical outdoor cinema experience for residents to enjoy movie nights under the stars. Set up a large screen, comfortable seating, and cozy outdoor pillows for maximum fun. For events, bring in concession stands for popcorn and refreshments or hire a food truck for the event- transforming outdoor space into a cinematic paradise.

Dog Park or Pet Spa

Cater to pet owners by incorporating amenities specifically for their furry friends. A dog park or pet spa encourages residents to mingle while providing convenience for pet care.
