Project Description
When a residential development experienced a flood in their community center, it resulted in several problems, shutting down the building to all residents. This center, utilized for private events and parties, also served as a gathering place for neighbors and friends. It was a meeting place for the homeowner’s association board of directors, and had a fully equipped fitness room and entertainment and multi-purpose rooms, complete with a fully functional kitchen.
Aside from interrupting the community spirit for a bit, the flood may have been a blessing in disguise. Outdated in decor and needing many repairs following the flood, the board decided to give the community center a makeover. Room Resolutions rose to the task and began the process of transforming the two-decade old building into a 21st century spacious, multi-purpose community center, putting the “fun” into functional.
Coastal tones brighten the interior of this building: Imagine walls of Peacock Plume, Rolling Waves, Fizzle, Pistachio Ice Cream and Trailing Vine. Fresh and crisp, these rooms invite one to host a party! A gorgeous Mica wall covering in the entry shines. Wolf Gordon Micas, mined from the abundant mineral, are natural handcrafted, woven wall coverings bringing warmth and the natural beauty of the outdoors to the interior with the perfect bit of sparkle in Sea Glass. A new chandelier and a glass tile chair rail finish off the welcoming entry with pizazz. A welcome sitting area with chairs by Uttermost and a beautiful, stone table by Global Views makes for the perfect meeting spot for friends.
New flooring includes porcelain plank tile by Mohawk, traffic loving plank laminate by Mohawk, and high-grade carpet tiles by Interface. LED lighting and Fandeliers illuminate the multi-purpose and entertainment rooms, making them a welcome oasis in the desert heat.
From treadmill, to elliptical, to weights, the health enthusiast may now work out with fresh inspiration surrounded by uplifting, cool tones with a midway stripe of brightened teal. Watch your favorite program while on your multi-mile run and stay cool under the breeze of modern ceiling fans.
The entertainment lounge is complete with Foosball, chess tables, gathering tables, a comfy sofa and a 75” television. Adorning the television wall is sparkling white dimensional tiles, for the perfect backdrop. Let the games begin!
The kitchen received an update with painted cabinetry and a pass-through cut into a wall making a great serving station for feasts, receptions or a child’s birthday party. Tables large enough for eight fill the multi-purpose room with inviting grass green settees for two, making perfect conversation corners. White plantation shutters, by Sunburst Shutters, cover the windows with an elegant finish to the space. Fine accessories chosen by Jane Cunningham are carefully and creatively placed throughout the community center and wall decor is artfully hung, to complete the look of a refreshing, calm and cool paradise – set in the desert.
This abundantly fresh and functional center invites the community to gather once again, to enjoy parties, receptions, holidays and meetings. As they open the doors, imagine the friends who return to gather once again.
