The lingering effects of COVID-19 will influence the construction and renovations of multifamily housing. New designs will focus on:
Outside and common areas will need to accommodate heavy foot traffic with social distancing in mind.
Common areas
Such as coffee lounges, work spaces, fitness centers workspace areas will need space for both the renter and employees of the apartment building.
It is important everyone feels safe and comfortable. The flow of foot traffic should be considered to avoid bottlenecks. Automatic doors, sanitizing areas, touches appliances, and hands free elevator technology.
Prioritize higher quality ventilation
Indoor air quality and ventilation will be a high priority for a healthier environment. The HVAC systems, UV treatments, and better filtration are just a few upgrades.
Increase meeting spaces for small groups
More people will be working from home and will need space to not only work but also hold meetings. They will continue to want coffee shops, tech enabled rooms, and other accommodations, just with a little extra space.
Natural light will be in high demand
Designs were moving towards more natural light and bringing some of the outside in, before the pandemic. Larger floor plans with a dedicated work from home space, or a separate area for outdoor gear or a nursery.
Demand for touches fixtures
Going beyond touches plumbing fixtures, but to motion sensors for lights, switches and doors. Elevators renovated for touch technology.
