AMNEITIES & SHARED FUNCTIONS
independence, and social richness — without excess or spectacle. Shared spaces are conceived as extensions of the home: places for gathering, reflection, and daily rhythm rather than programmed activity.
Each SUITE 01 building includes a carefully curated set of shared functions that encourage connection while fully respecting autonomy. These spaces are designed to be used naturally, without obligation, and to feel familiar rather than institutional.
Social Spaces and Shared Living
At the heart of the building sits a series of interconnected social rooms designed for real use and everyday presence.
A library and sitting room with an open fireplace forms a natural anchor — a place to read, converse, or simply spend time without agenda. Adjacent to this, a generous dining room is designed for shared meals, private events, or informal gatherings, complemented by a small lounge area and an honest cocktail bar cabinet rather than a commercial bar.
The atmosphere is domestic, not serviced. Materials, lighting, and proportions are designed to encourage lingering rather than turnover.
Where appropriate, wine storage can be integrated — either as private lockers or a shared cellar — reflecting the social habits and cultural interests of the target group.
Health, Movement, and Longevity
Physical health is treated as a central pillar of long-term independence.
Each building includes a workout room equipped with free weights and strength-training equipment, supporting muscle maintenance and functional strength — a key factor in healthy ageing. In addition, a dedicated studio for yoga, stretching, and meditation allows for both individual practice and small guided sessions.
These spaces are designed with acoustics, daylight, and material comfort in mind, ensuring they are welcoming and usable over time rather than intimidating or trend-driven.
Outdoor Space and Urban Retreat
A shared roof terrace or elevated outdoor space is an integral part of the programme, offering views, fresh air, and seasonal use. Seating, planting, and shelter are designed to make the space usable throughout the year rather than symbolic.
Depending on plot conditions, landscaped courtyards or gardens may complement upper-level terraces, reinforcing access to nature within an urban setting.
Reception, Arrival, and Everyday Ease
Arrival spaces are treated with care. A reception room or shared entrance lounge provides a sense of welcome and orientation without resembling a hotel lobby. This space may include seating for informal meetings, waiting, or conversation, and functions as a social threshold between city and home.
Guest Accommodation and Family Connection
A small number of compact guest units are integrated into the building, designed for visiting family members or grandchildren staying for a long weekend. These units allow residents to host comfortably without oversizing their own homes, supporting flexibility and family life across generations.
Optional Food and Cultural Activation
Where location and zoning allow, a small-scale restaurant or food concept may be integrated at ground level. Any such function is deliberately restrained and curated to serve residents first, rather than attract external footfall.
This ensures vitality without noise, crowding, or operational complexity.
Design Integrity and Long-Term Value
All shared functions are designed with the same architectural discipline as the private apartments. Materials, proportions, acoustics, and light are carefully considered to ensure comfort, durability, and coherence.
From an investment perspective, these amenities strengthen long-term desirability without introducing operational burden. They respond directly to the social and physical needs of the target group, while remaining adaptable for future generations of residents.
The result is a building that supports life as it is lived — socially rich, physically supportive, and architecturally grounded.
