How should designers approach carpet specification for multi-residential and education environments? Download the free whitepaper on carpet specification for these sectors, here!
The multi-residential and education sectors have demonstrated sustained, marked growth in recent years. Though at first glance very different, the two sectors in fact bear numerous similarities: both should nurture and provide comfort, a balanced approach to style and functionality that prioritises positive, healthy environments. Akin to educational environments, multi-residential projects are high-traffic and often high-density, with increasingly compact footprints requiring design features to be integrated into new and inventive ways.
The expansion of both sectors coincides with a period in design history where health and wellbeing are being placed at the forefront of the built environment. Architects and designers are now committed to creating spaces that actively contribute to human health and wellbeing by marrying the best innovations in technology, health, science, and design.
