Working alongside the building’s architect usually works best, as whilst the architect can bring on board historical understanding of the building and its macro constraints, an interior designer focuses on micro design elements that if not done properly will disrupt the future living experience and will not deliver on the apartment’s full potential. Generally seen as a straightforward exercise, interior designers have to consider multiple constraints such as external facades, MEP, pipework and local space regulations to name a few.

Thus the correct positioning of walls, windows and doors will dictate each room’s proportions, quantity of light and future furniture arrangement. Many of those subliminal messages originate from the home’s layout. When viewing homes, people generally use the phrase “this place felt right” or “I could imagine myself living here” all of which stem from our human ability to ‘read’ spaces on a subconscious level and utilise our imagination to project our lifestyle requirements onto a potential property. Whilst the amenity and entrance lobbies will create the first impression as a gateway to the home, the apartment will leave a lasting impression. You can create incredible 5* interior designed amenities & public spaces but if the core offer (homes) are uninspiring the potential resident will move on and look elsewhere. We can go on about good service & amenity offers but at its bare minimum the industry provides long-term private accommodation. Homes are the key product output for the BTR industry.
Why well-designed and considered layouts are a key to BTR? At this stage it’s too late and too constrained to tweak or adjust the spatial layout of the apartments. So at what point then do the layouts get a look in – too late it seems – well after planning is obtained and after all the structural design elements have been committed. We believe it’s a combination of apartment interior layouts taking a backseat in the early phases of the design of a BTR building with most of the emphasis placed on meeting regulatory, planning and site constraints. With Build to Rent apartments, which are often limited to spatially constrained inner-city homes, the importance of apartment layouts and spatial arrangement is paramount and should not to be overlooked.Īwkward apartment layouts with oddly-shaped rooms complete with disproportionate furnishings seem to be common with the UK’s BTR apartments. One of the most common interior design challenges our clients and generally operators in the BTR industry face is the conundrum of dealing with apartment layouts.
