Designing Rental Units with Legal Compliance
In the realm of architecture, design holds a paramount position. Our ability to seamlessly merge form and function into something that is both pleasing to the eye and livably efficient has been our ethos since the founding of Michael Fitzpatrick Architects. That philosophy extends to the properties we design as rental units. While pleasing aesthetics and logical flow are high on our list when creating something new, we also ensure that our designs mesh perfectly with the legality of rental units in the area.
A rental unit will never be successful for long if it doesn’t please its tenant. This fact means that us architects must always keep the aesthetics and function of the property foremost in our minds when we design a new unit. Well-planned properties have higher rental values and less turnover.
While the beauty and function of a new home or office can often be more art than science, their rental status brings new challenges for the architect’s creativity. Those challenges are answered through compliance with legal requirements such as the comprehensive delaware rental agreements that govern these properties. There is also the reality that they must be energy efficient and continuously up to code for the safety and comfort of their tenants.
Good design finds a way to strike a perfect balance between form, function, and legality that applies to the particular space. Our rental properties are carefully constructed to conform to the law while taking rentability into consideration with unique architectural details. The keyword is unique. It’s a property we designed so the tenant will adapt their lifestyle to its attributes.
Many of the new energy-efficient features being created for our rental properties utilize innovative materials and highly flexible design techniques. The materials we use for our rental properties are engineered from super-strong composites that are lightweight but have the structural integrity to support heavier loads. Energy use was previously an afterthought in property design, but today we can leverage that energy to define livability and stability.
The rising cost and instability of energy mean that sustainable architecture is on the move. These tenets apply to rental properties just as much as any other. Sustainable architecture can significantly add to long-term value while reducing your carbon footprint. Some of the more common forms of sustainable architecture that we use include energy-efficient cooling and heating, and water-saving designs.
Innovative architectural solutions for furnishings are frequently requested by our clients. We often engineer interior furnishings using materials that are more durable and have an extended lifespan, while still being environmentally-friendly. For many reasons, the sustainable unit is fast becoming the preferred rental property in the area.
Even the most well-designed unit will have to deal with some form of legal issue during its lifetime. The most common of these revolves around parking and how it is allocated to tenants. If space allows, we consider parking during the early stages of our design process to incorporate it into the layout. It is invariably better to assign parking before a problem arises.
Lawful, innovative, beautifully-designed rental units are not just the future of housing. They are the present. Our services help you avoid the pitfalls of failed ventures while benefiting from our creative solutions. A well-designed unit will sell itself, while retaining high property values for the long term. Allocate your future with us today and let us help you make your investment stronger.
