This exclusive strategy highlights the following key compo- nents: Experiential Design provides an experience that tells a story and has impact. Experiential Design creates a welcoming environment based on research. Experi - ential Design addresses how consumers wants to live in the space. And, Experiential Design delivers spaces with function and adaptability based on lifestyle. Consider This. Good In- terior Design is Powerful. Great Interior Design is In - visible. This is an interesting statement. Good design can be pretty and aesthetically pleasing. Good design uses standard furniture layouts, and sometimes just places matching furniture pieces in a room. Youmay not win with good design, since it is not memorable and doesn’t have its own story. On the other hand, great design delivers an experience. When design is invisible, it has made a con- nection with the consumer on an emotional level. Have you ever walked into a multifam- ily amenity space and do not know why it resonates and makes you feel so welcomed? Great design does this – it’s mindful of the target mar- ket’s lifestyle preferences! Great design uses a combina- tion of research and expertise to drive the design decisions, the color palette, and the vision. Great design creates one-of-a-kind environments that resonate with the Live- Work-Play lifestyle. Great design uses research to deter- mine lifestyle, demographics, and living preferences. In to- day’ luxury rental market, it gives you the opportunity to compete in the marketplace. Time to Adapt. The take- away is to provide flexible and innovative solutions in response to the challenging social climate. By nature, designers are creative prob- lem solvers.
