In the wake of the pandemic, the private rental sector has experienced a serious shake up. However, following a series of Government lockdowns, restrictions on movement and persisting hesitancy from tenants, confidence has already begun to return to the market and looks set to continue to do so as we enter 2022.
From the vibrancy found within Geo Retro and the energy seen in Artful, to the more subtle tones of Soulful Ceremony and the moody feeling of Luxe Refined, COAT could see the vision from early on and could simplistically deliver on each brief. The individual colours give each collection a spirit and life of its own, creating the perfect canvas to showcase LOFT’s People First products and interior designs upon.
The classic idea of British home-life would be the dream of owning your own home; something nice but perhaps not too difficult to clean, a large garden, but not so much that you spend all day mowing, fun and interesting neighbours, but never anybody too noisy.
Purpose Built Shared Living (PBSL) is about so much more than just providing communal living and working spaces for its residents. It is about fostering community, inciting connections and nurturing relationships all within spaces designed to naturally prevent isolation.
In student housing, having a big and spacious property will get you far. Not all properties have that luxury, but it doesn’t mean smaller rooms aren’t fit for purpose.
You have to be a little economical with what you’ve got and find ways to create the illusion of more space to make a room look larger. Clever interior design plus the right furniture and furnishings will help greatly with this.
There are plenty of ways to reduce carbon emissions and cut waste in BTR and PBSA, but given that a private rental is the most common type of student accommodation, we wanted to tackle the best ways to create sustainable student housing for landlords as well.
The idea of the perfect student accommodation has changed a lot in the last decade. Students of times gone by were happy enough in Halls of Residence, but today’s generation want to spend their time at university living in the modest luxury they’ve become accustomed to.
And honestly, we don’t blame them. Given the choice, we’d rather live in a development with a range of amenities and services over a standard room any day.
Remote learning has been interesting to say the least. The transition from in-person lectures to online classes has dulled the full university experience somewhat, but adapting to the situation and making the most of it has got a lot of students through to the other side.
When a family, couple or a group of friends rent your holiday let, they expect something special, something homely with all the creature comforts they’re used to. And given the surge in popularity of the UK staycation market in the last couple of years, you’re in the top position to show just how good a short UK-based break can be.
Serviced accommodation properties make great investments. Holiday-makers love a good serviced apartment, and a booming staycation market has shot through the doom-and-gloom of cancelled foreign holidays for many here in the UK.
What first springs to mind when you think about amenity space in student accommodation? Do you see pictures of pool tables, comfy sofas and the occasional beer bottle and pizza box? You’re not wrong for thinking about these things, but instead of focusing on items, let’s take a deeper look at the concept.
There’s no doubt that the damage done to the Earth has had a massive impact on everyday life. According to National Geographic, humans have added enough greenhouse gases to raise the Earth’s temperature by 1.8 degrees fahrenheit over the last two centuries, causing extreme weather events and the melting of the polar ice caps.
