Managing Commercial Property

Atrium Apartment Homes

Even those who are happy to be in the centre of a city occasionally want to be near nature, and remodelling an older building with atrium apartment homes can be one way to attract buyers. They appreciate the light and plants, and they see the value in giving some space over to the natural world. Some developers will be able to build a small atrium in many apartments, but most buildings will accommodate only one atrium as an amenity every resident will share. It will become a space where people can gather together to enjoy a bit of greenery, or it could become a restful area where residents will take a walk on a rainy day or enjoy a good book.

Adding Light

Few people choose to live in a home where they will pay enormous electrical charges so they will be able to see, so adding light to modern homes and apartments is an important factor. For those who choose to reside in the middle of a city, it is not always easy to do. Few apartments today are completely without windows, but they might be on only one wall. Building one or more atriums into the residential floors of a large apartment building can give the residents extra access to natural sunlight, and it can add value to apartments that might have been too dark to attract potential buyers.

No Weather

One of the beauties of atriums is the fact they add light and greenery to an area, but there is no weather to bother residents. They are able to experience a setting that appears to be a park, but the rain, snow or heavy breezes will remain outside of their location. For those with children, it is the perfect place to bring them on a rainy day when staying inside can be difficult. It provides an outdoor area without the hazards that often come with them in any location.

Creating Natural Beauty

It might seem odd to plant flowers and trees in the middle of a large city building, but it is all part of creating natural beauty residents can enjoy all during the year. Builders will wish to make the space as pleasing as possible, so many of them will use colourful dried aggregates and resin bonded aggregates to create walkways through the plantings for a feeling of being in a local park. They can find a wide selection of them at Pennine Aggregates, and they can be shipped for easier planning and installation during the building phase.

Beauty is important when selecting a home, so creating one or more atriums for residents can give developers their best opportunity to attract the buyers they seek. Residents will be able to wander through the greenery every day of the year, and there will be no concern if the weather is rainy or cold. They will be able to enjoy the world of nature without leaving their building, and the apartments next to it could be built to take advantage of the natural light flowing through the interior of the building.
