Cool, calm and condo-collected The latest design trends for smaller spaces By Debra Gelbart
T
he latest design trends in condos and townhomes center around technology and streamlined esthetics, local experts say. “Smart technology has taken a giant leap forward,” said Mike March, the architect for Two Biltmore Estates, an upscale condo community in Phoenix. “Recent advancements in technology, coupled with the relative smaller scale of townhomes and condos, have made adding smart technology more affordable than ever.”

“Everything we are seeing is more streamlined and modern,” said Claudia Gerster, owner of Tempe-based design firm Creative License International. She added that condo owners want less accessorizing and larger-scale artwork, along with “mixing of reclaimed materials with modern furniture and art.”

Making a small space seem larger Central to smaller-space design, said Paul Williamson of True Craft Residential, the developer and builder of Novella at Arcadia, a community of luxury townhomes in Phoenix, are high ceilings, light-colored flooring in the great room, and the correct amount and size of furniture in the home. Painting a ceiling a light color and/or installing indirect lighting upward onto the ceiling can help create the effect of more space, said March, who is with Moderna Architects in Scottsdale. “For walls, light colors, coupled with a contrasting darker accent color on just one wall or area can make rooms seem larger than they are when decorated entirely in a single hue.” “A small space will feel bigger if you fill the room with only items you love to use, look at or have a personal connection with, such as a [family] keepsake,” said Lauren Rosenberg, owner of Lauren Rosenberg Interior Design in Scottsdale. “This way, your small space will CONDO DESIGN TRENDS; continued on page CL2

CONDO DESIGN TRENDS; continued from page CL1
Ready. Set. Work! Is your new condo plug-in-ready for a live/work lifestyle? By Susie Steckner
Robert Baxter
feel intimate, cozy and personalized and you won’t be focusing on the size of your room but rather how it makes you feel.” Multi-functional appliances “Appliances that can perform dual functions — such as washing machines that can simulate hand-washing if there isn’t space for a laundry sink — and multifunction ovens that reduce the need for additional appliances in the kitchen all help to conserve space without sacrificing function,” March [of Moderna Architects] said. Gerster [of Creative License International] pointed out that smaller apartment and condo units have pushed the envelope on both appliances and furnishings. Popular spacesaving appliances include stacked washer/ dryers, low profile refrigerators/refrigerator drawers, small single-bowl undermount kitchen sinks, [smaller] stoves/ovens, wallmounted storage, pull-out pantry cabinets, cabinets to the ceiling and furniture that transforms from one function to another [e.g., Murphy bed wall units and tables that go from
coffee tables to dining height], she said. Tuck-away appliances — [small frequently used appliances such as coffee pots, juicers and blenders] — are the future, Rosenberg [of Lauren Rosenberg Interior Design] said. “Cabinets for tuck-away appliances are counter-height, extra deep and with multiple outlets so that all you have to do is pull out the appliance and then push it back in when 4nished. It’s kind of a kitchen within a kitchen.” A quick summary of trends According to Rosenberg, several additional design approaches popular now in condos and townhomes include: • Greens and blues in all shades • Textural elements in fabrics, art, wall treatments and lighting • Mixing metals • Space-efficient furniture vs. oversized furniture Finally, Rosenberg said that it’s time to say goodbye to beige. “Jeweled-toned and pastel colors take center stage,” she noted.

ou’ve decided to start working from home — whether full-time as a new entrepreneur or a day or two a week telecommuting with your boss’s blessing. But will your new condo or townhome meet your new tech needs? Today’s properties, mindful of the growing live/work movement, are touting plug-inready infrastructure and community-wide wifi as key amenities on par with a resortstyle pool or rooftop terrace. “This is where the market is ultimately going,” said Irene Catsibris Clary, principal with Catclar Investments and the developer of the new SOHO Scottsdale townhouse project. “A lot of people who work for big companies work from home.” Mobile world Mobile tech and the increasing demand for telecommuting, coupled with a growing gig economy and the rising tide of entrepreneurs, are all driving the demand. Workers are also making quality-of-life choices focused on everything from cutting commutes to finding flex-time — and the condo and townhome market is responding with infrastructure that supports live/work needs.
“
“Internet speed is a strong amenity for the live/work lifestyle.”

Wi) at work New homeowners will also want to know about secure wireless internet throughout the property for seamless mobility, Catsibris Clary said. SOHO Scottsdale, designed as a live/ work community, provides fiber-optic cable directly to each unit and offers Cox Gigablast service for internet, TV and phone. Homeowners will find wifi throughout the property. Residents walk downstairs [from their living spaces] to dedicated office spaces equipped with garage-style doors that open to a common courtyard giving them indoor/outdoor work space, she said. The community also includes conference rooms that can be reserved for meetings.
—Dan Richards, Deco Communities Indeed, those interested in purchasing a new condo or townhouse should be sure to ask if the property offers plug-in infrastructure at move-in which can help ensure consistent connectivity, access and bandwidth. They should also ask about any arrangements with an internet provider or providers. Deco Communities, for instance, partnered with Cox and Century Link for its Edison Midtown and Inspire communities to provide fiber-optic cable to each unit [not just to the main building] for high-speed internet, TV and phone, said partner Dan Richards. “As a result, all homeowners have the opportunity to get 1 Gig service, which is the fastest speed available in today’s market,” Richards said. “This internet speed is a strong amenity for the live/work lifestyle.”
SOHO Scottsdale
Portland on the Park developers also know that accommodating residents who work from home is a must, said Tim Sprague, principal with Habitat Metro, developer of Portland Place and Portland on the Park condo projects. “Since our first-phase Portland Place was built in 2007, the lines between live and work have become more and more blurred,” Sprague said. “Today we witness 10 percent to 20 percent-plus of our homeowners in Portland on the Park working from home. Not necessarily full-time, but a significant amount even though they have an outside office.” Sprague said digital connection to the world was first on the design checklist with a Gigabit fiber connection enabling commercial-type service to every residence and all common areas. Meet-up Along with connectivity, Portland on the Park offers a solution to the meeting space dilemma: a 3,600-square-foot lobby with private seating clusters both indoors and also on the adjacent patio. “No more hunt for the “right” restaurant or coffee shop,” Sprague said.
