Building Community Through Design: The Power of Collision Points Welcome back to Multifamily Collective! Today, we're exploring an innovative concept that can transform your community: collision points. Inspired by design and architecture firm Mackie Mitchell, this idea focuses on fostering interactions and building a stronger community. In a rehab project in downtown St. Louis, we had the choice to place storage units on patios. Instead, we opted for basement storage. This design choice encouraged residents to visit a communal bicycle room equipped with DIY repair tools, creating natural opportunities for interaction and connection. Similarly, placing fire pits at crossroads within the community rather than secluded areas ensures they become vibrant hubs of activity where residents can naturally encounter one another. These strategically designed collision points help foster friendships and a sense of belonging, turning our properties into true communities. By integrating collision points into your community's design, you can create spaces encouraging connection and enhancing resident engagement. Embrace this concept to activate your community and make it more dynamic and connected.
