Emerald Place Apartments, a community built around the brand promise "I Am Home," lacked an amenity space that truly embodied that spirit. Our 2017 renovation transformed the existing clubhouse—once compartmentalized and inflexible—into a bright, welcoming, and multipurpose lounge that reflects the brand's core values. The redesigned space now feels like an extension of home, providing a place for residents to relax, work, and connect. Located in Beaverton, Oregon, the renovation of the clubhouse for Prometheus Real Estate Group aimed to create an inclusive, functional gathering space that would serve a variety of needs. We began by opening up the walls of the old, cramped clubhouse to create a more flexible, open floor plan that maximized the space's potential. By repurposing unused areas, we created a lounge that adapts to residents’ current lifestyles and anticipates future needs, reinforcing the "I Am Home" concept. The new lounge fosters a sense of belonging, offering areas for both individual and group activities. During the day, leasing agents use a dual-purpose space within the main lounge, which transforms into an open area for residents after business hours. Whether working in a quiet nook or hosting a gathering, residents feel at home in a space designed for comfort, connection, and functionality. Aesthetic choices were rooted in the Pacific Northwest, drawing from regional artisans, materials, and symbols. A laser-cut wooden tree against a stylized mountain range and the words "I Am Home" highlight the brand, while a locally sourced communal table encourages co-working and co-playing. A playful nod to the region’s timber history is captured in a Pendleton-style plaid wallpaper. By centering the design on human experience, we created a lounge that not only meets the practical needs of today but is adaptable for tomorrow. This renovation is a testament to how thoughtfully designed spaces can enhance community and make people feel truly at home.
