The Pacific Northwest is known for its modern and innovative design, and it's time to bring that aesthetic to the community's outdated apartment clubhouse. This renovation project aimed to refresh and redesign the clubhouse into a more functional and inviting environment for residents to enjoy. With a focus on utilizing the unique qualities of shared space, the end result will be a modern and welcoming hub for the community. Say goodbye to the dull and uninviting atmosphere and hello to a space that truly reflects the beauty of the PNW and the functionality of a new clubhouse for current and future renters alike.
Luxury Leasing Design
Recently, we embarked on a journey of transformation at our apartment complex, reimagining our leasing office to create a space that not only facilitates transactions but also fosters a sense of belonging and community.
The significance of a well-designed leasing office cannot be overstated. It serves as the gateway to a community, the first impression that potential residents have of their future homes. We made sure that residents were invited by a luxurious grand fireplace design with a comfortable sitting area.
We bid adieu to the uninspiring, cookie-cutter design and embarked on a quest to infuse life and vibrancy into the space. The transformation began with a fresh coat of paint, opting for a color palette inspired by our local surroundings. Soft, earthy tones were combined with pops of vivid colors that mimic the natural beauty of our region.
We paid special attention to every detail, including how the tiles lined up as the fireplace wrapped around the wall. Edge detail known as Schluter, hides the raw edge of the porcelain tiles while blending in with the color so as to not stand out.
The addition of cozy seating arrangements, carefully selected furnishings, and strategically placed greenery breathed new life into the once-dull space. Natural elements such as the reclaimed wood top on the coffee table layer in warmth and texture.
We firmly believe that art can breathe life into any space. We partnered with local artists to infuse our leasing office with the area’s nature, creativity, and culture.
We wanted our prospective tenants to feel at home from the moment they walked in. We created cozy conversation corners with armchairs. The woven seats have a natural texture and the black wood curved backs create contrast in the space.
As residents walk into the leasing office, a desk greets them with a smiling leasing agent to answer any questions they may have. This arrangement can be enhanced by choosing an aesthetically pleasing desk and incorporating elements like artwork or plants.
Desks are foundational to our work and creative processes, providing us with functional workspaces that contribute to productivity, comfort, and organization. They are also the perfect place to infuse high style in your design.
Comfortable chairs were placed in the manager’s office for current and future residents to enjoy.
Apartment Living in the PNW
This Pacific Northwest Modern design transformation has elevated an outdated apartment complex into a true luxury haven. It seamlessly blends contemporary elegance with the region's natural splendor, providing residents with a living experience that is both sophisticated and in harmony with the breathtaking surroundings.
Environmental consciousness is at the forefront of our design. The complex incorporates energy-efficient technologies to help reduce its environmental footprint and contribute to the natural beauty that surrounds it.
The modern design aesthetic combines sleek, contemporary lines with organic elements inspired by the region's stunning natural surroundings.
The leasing office needed two separate leasing desks for this complex and the sister apartments across the street. In order to dampen sound and provide privacy, we installed acoustical wood wall panels from the floor to the ceiling.
A picture window was added to the wall separating the two leasing areas to allow natural light to make it into the left desk area. We added accent lighting throughout to keep the spaces illuminated during overcast days.
A snack bar in a leasing office immediately sets the tone for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As soon as visitors step inside, they are greeted not only by friendly leasing agents but also by the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the sight of gourmet snacks, and the promise of a comfortable place to relax.
An added bonus to installing a picture window between the two leasing spaces is being able to see the front door and lobby. By thoughtfully placing this window, we were able to help leasing agents greet current and future residents.
Modern furnishings and artwork from local artists reflect the vibrant culture of the Pacific Northwest. This wood wall sculpture provides the perfect texture to the modern wallpapered background.
As you step into the lobby, you're greeted by a ceiling of hanging woven wood sculptures. Creating an artistic feature helped bring the tall ceiling down to a more comfortable feeling level. It also is an added touch of fun.
These ceiling sculptures were created by a local artist. The installation brought so much life to this otherwise sterile space.
Multiple outdoor lounge areas with louvered metal pergolas and comfortable seating invite residents to socialize and enjoy what the beautiful weather has to offer.
One of the standout features of a metal louvered pergola is its ability to provide adjustable shade. The louvers can be opened to let in gentle sunlight or closed to create a shaded retreat. This control over light and shade is especially valuable, as it allows you to enjoy your outdoor space comfortably in different weather conditions.
In the realm of outdoor design, few elements can transform a space as effortlessly and stylishly as a metal louvered pergola paired with modern furniture. This winning combination seamlessly marries form and function, creating an outdoor oasis that exudes contemporary sophistication.
A true Pacific Northwest Modern Rooftop Oasis, where every day is a journey of indulgence and connection with nature. The view is a perfect retreat from the urban life below.
Whether you're looking to create a serene sanctuary or a chic entertainment area, pairing contemporary concrete furniture with a classic marble-like dining table design is sure to elevate your outdoor experience.
Imagine escaping the hustle and bustle of city life to your own rooftop oasis, complete with an outdoor stainless steel grill area. This is more than just a cooking space; it's a lifestyle upgrade that offers a unique blend of luxury, convenience, and breathtaking views.
The fitness center is equipped with the latest workout equipment and is surrounded by windows, so you can stay fit while gazing outside. Because the windows are at street level, a mountain range of frosted glass helps provide privacy.
We added a cedar back wall to bring the outdoors in while creating beautiful color and texture at the same time. By adding a mirrored back wall, we were able to visually expand the footprint of the cardio room.
The lifting is jam-packed with the best fitness equipment. Rubber floors were installed to provide sound dampening and a comfortable experience while working out.
Conveniently situated near both urban conveniences and the tranquility of the great outdoors, this complex offers residents easy access to hiking trails, parks, and vibrant city life, ensuring a perfect balance between modern living and natural wonder. The color scheme selected truly shows this connection.
Portland, OR Dog Friendly Wine Bar
Jen and Brad Lyons approached KTI with the idea of opening CellarDog, a dog-friendly wine bar, and we immediately agreed to help them. We decided on an industrial Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic mixed with that natural Pacific Northwest vibe. Our favorite thing about CellarDog is its philanthropic mission: All wines in stock donate to charitable causes and important organizations from women's rights to LGBTQ rights, ocean preservation, healthy bee colony population, breast cancer and mammogram funding, at-risk youth organizations, health care for wine workers--the list goes on!
