CRG's Vice President of Design and Development, Alison Mills, spoke with Multi-Housing News to discuss the important role color plays in shaping a development's character and appeal.

It's about understanding the audience, the property's context, and the longevity of design choices. Chapter at Madison excels in blending school spirit with sophisticated design, ensuring our student housing is stylish and resonant with academic pride.

‘Design is a way in which we can feel included in the world, but it is also a way in which we can uphold a person’s dignity…’ - Sinéad Burke Without a doubt, inclusive and accessible design is the best design, but for whom is it accessible? Sinéad Burke shares her own experiences as a little person in an excellent TED Talk, shedding light on how the design of the built environment makes an impact on the everyday lives of people with disabilities. Access4you knows that people with disabilities can have very different needs. This is why we qualify and certify the built environment based on the accessibility needs of 9 stakeholder groups.

On the tenth day of #ArchitecturalAdvent, we explore the vastness of learning landscapes. From libraries to outside spaces, creating environments that ensure the wellbeing of students and staff, accommodating diverse learning needs and allowing learning to flourish. Our team has evolved with the changing educational landscape. We are constantly learning, gathering knowledge and working in collaboration with our partners to shape environments for contextual and responsive learning, working and socialising. Because education is a dynamic activity, the spaces that we create are flexible, adaptable, robust and durable. They are capable of responding to new initiatives, evolving teaching methods, emerging technologies, alternative organisational structures, increasing community engagement and varying needs. For many children, school is often the first experience of learning and socialising within a communal environment. It is important that the physical environment supports children’s wellbeing, inspires their imagination and stimulates their ability to enquire and comprehend.   To learn more about our experience in the schools sector, take a look at our vast portfolio - https://lnkd.in/d8r2uR7v   #schoolsarchitecture #education  #design #architecture #advent
