As the UK’s Build to Rent sector grows and matures, renters’ needs are increasingly being placed at the heart of the design process. Lifestyle-led rental homes brand Tipi is one of the forerunners of this process in Tipi’s new building, Alameda.

Alameda’s shared social spaces include an extensive mezzanine area that hosts a lounge, games room, co-working spaces, a kitchenette and rooms that can be booked for events or classes. They link to external landscaped areas, with a courtyard garden framing the route up to the planted first floor roof terrace.
