Elevating Affordable Living: The Art of Interior Design of Low-income Communities
At Faulkner Design Group, we cultivate the mission of creating a welcoming, functional living space for the residents of every community we design. Our expertise in interior architecture and design services for low-income and tax-credit multifamily communities is transforming the landscape of affordable housing, proving that style and affordability are attainable.
Maximizing Space and Functionality
Our approach combines thoughtful design principles with a keen understanding of the specific needs of multifamily and senior living residents. We employ innovative strategies for materials, layouts, and amenities, all while adhering to our proven processes. This allows us to consistently produce high-quality deliverables that meet and exceed client expectations, even within tight timelines. By leveraging our expertise and well-honed processes, we can transform ordinary living environments into vibrant communities where individuals feel valued and supported while maintaining the pace necessary for affordable housing development.
Streamlined Process
We have developed well-documented, streamlined processes that allow us to work efficiently without compromising quality. Our refined methodology enables us to rapidly progress from concept to production, delivering well-detailed, comprehensive design packages that meet both aesthetic and functional requirements. This efficiency is crucial in affordable housing projects, where time and budget constraints often present additional challenges.
Design Considerations
Community Spaces: Create flexible community areas that foster social interaction and serve as a “third place” beyond home and work. These spaces should be adaptable to various activities and provide comfort and connectivity.
Material Selection: Use classic materials creatively and combine timeless elements with modern aesthetics to create inviting environments. Prioritize durable and sustainable material for safety, longevity and maintenance.
Technology Integration: Ensure spaces are equipped with technology that supports both work and social interactions. This includes integrating sound-abating materials and providing areas for both extroverted and introverted activities.
Wellness and Accessibility: Design spaces that promote wellness through onsite health facilities, calming color schemes, and accessible layouts. Furniture should be comfortable, durable, and easy to use for residents with mobility challenges.
Natural Elements: Incorporate natural light and outdoor colors to enhance mood and support circadian rhythms. This is particularly beneficial for memory care residents.
