Dwell is methodically unconventional: designing clever spaces that aren’t outlandish or lacking purpose. We’re notoriously accurate: producing some of the cleanest documents this side of the galaxy. And we’re solid people: easy to work with, fun to be around, and void of pretension. At Dwell, we like to think big and small—producing high-minded concepts without losing sight of the details. Our default isn’t to look at previous projects for quick and dirty drawings. On the contrary, we know how to balance creativity with tight timelines and budgets. From senior living communities, mixed-use and multi-family to hospitality, we look beyond garden-style buildings to give you designs that offer people a reason to stay—and come back for more. Sound different? Just wait until you work with us.

THE CASE FOR MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSING Over the next few weeks I will be sharing some huge successes we have been having at Dwell Design Studio to reduce the costs of housing for our customers. We have seen major reductions in costs through creative design that is saving developers between 12-22% over comparable communities. As an industry we have designed our way out of efficient structures by chasing the hottest markets and designing to beat out the latest competition through elaborate amenities and grossly over designed facades. This has led to a glut of inefficient projects and to a reduction in affordable housing as a Nation. There is a significant missing middle. A middle that has more fixed incomes and that needs designers to really focus on finding creative ways to still provide Class A buildings but more effectively so that overall costs for developers can be reduced to meet the rental income needs of these missing middle communities. The following are a list of design factors that need to change to reduce costs and create better affordability: Repetition is King Reduce Unit Types Consistency in Baths and Kitchens Maximize Allowable Building Area Minimize Circulation and Egressing Simplify Facade Materiality Smart Balconies Maximize your Parkable Area Follow me on LinkedIn as I discuss each of the above subjects in the coming week and show you solutions to save money and build affordable housing with Class A finishes and look.
Join Jose A. Perez, our Principal and high-rise specialist, on a tour of the stunning mixed-use highrise in Atlanta called Arya Peachtree!

Dwell's 1st Annual Mario Kart Tournament was a SMASH hit! Players from each office faced off in four rounds of high-speed racing, showcasing their skills and competitive spirit. A huge congratulations to Orlando for claiming victory in the 50cc category and to Atlanta for dominating the 100-200cc races—bragging rights are well-earned! Beyond the races, the day was a celebration filled with food, drinks, and fun games that fostered incredible team bonding. The energy was infectious, and the camaraderie was off the charts! We’re already buzzing with excitement for next year’s tournament. #DwellDesignStudio #MarioKart #DwellDone #RadicallyPolished #NotoriouslyAccountable
