It is a common misconception that home buyers often have, that buying a condo means you must forgo outdoor living spaces. In some cases, this may be true, but nowadays architects have been designing condos to suit the lovers of the outdoors.
With shrinking square-footage, outdoor living space has consistently been on the most desired amenities list for condominium buyers.
The Evolution of Roof decks
Whether it’s a space that can be enjoyed with friends, host family get togethers or a place to enjoy a community garden, the added amenity of outdoor space makes a huge difference. Especially when living in a large concrete jungle.
Roof decks are the newest and coolest way to utilize that dead space up top. During the last couple years, when connecting with others have been tougher than most, roof decks give residents the chance to get out, meet neighbours and feel a sense of community.
Greenspace
These outdoor amenity spaces also cater to nature. Many city rooftops have started playing host to birds and bugs, populating beehives, and creating shelters for the birds. Knowing that the building is playing a role in assisting the environment allows residents to feel good about their purchase.
Four-legged friends? You can be certain they enjoy the outdoor space to.
Greenspace has played a significant role over the last decade because of the rise in environmental awareness. What better way to incorporate nature into living spaces than creating an outdoor garden? Creating a serene oasis where residents can not only contribute to sustainable living with outdoor garden space, but connect with nature, helps promote healthy living, mentally and physically.
Views
So how do architects create a space that residents will love?
1. Location
2. Furniture, BBQs etc…
3. VIEWS
There is nothing better than heading up to the condo outdoor lounge to have a drink with some neighbours after work or spending some family time alone on your private balcony. But the VIEW is what will get people talking. Architects know their designs inside and out and you can bet that they planned in advance to get the best view possible for your rooftop amenity.
In the age of a growing population and shrinking condo units, outdoor amenities have become more and more popular. Next time you are on the market for a new condo, have a look at what there is beyond your front door.
