Adler is an apartment community in the Cadence neighborhood of Henderson, Nevada. The overall design aesthetic draws inspiration from the surrounding Las Vegas desert, combining it with a vintage Vegas aesthetic. The clubhouse has an eclectic feel with subdued desert colors, deep rich clays and blues, large scale patterns and artwork. The aesthetic goals of the clubhouse was to feel more vintage than showy, and to create a warm atmosphere that has a blend of casual and sophisticated. Henderson is a popular suburb near Vegas but the appeal is to be more family oriented, quieter and authentic, so the design of this property was to capture that. Adler embodies all of this in a blend of warm woods, a collection of artwork, rich colors and textures, and vintage styled furnishings.
The targeted demographic for this property is young families, married couples, and business professionals. The amenities stand out in comparison to the surrounding properties in their overall design as well as the programming. The co-working spaces, media lounge and social kitchen are often used for events as well as on a day to day by the residents. The conference room and private offices support the ever-changing way that people work from home, and support podcasting, social media content creation, virtual conferences, as well as more traditional work from home. The fitness space is a dynamic environment that supports a wide range of work outs from beginner to expert. The dog park and resort style pool, courtyard, and BBQ areas are programmed and designed to maximize use and allow them to appeal to all residents.
The programming was ahead of the curve by incorporating spaces with a variety of uses as well as multiple types of co-working. One of the offerings is a sculptural “room within a room” parametric dome space that adds a unique element to the clubhouse. The wood slats and openings add a beautiful texture to the space and is the first impression as people walk into the clubhouse and start their marketing tour. With the continuing trend in multi family housing leaning towards holistic wellness and integrated co-working throughout, the amenities support these shifting user needs.
Like many projects that were designed during the pandemic, the main challenges centered around anticipating the lasting consequences of the pandemic, how amenities and interior spaces would be impacted, working with supply issues for materials and furniture, and being strategic about budgets. From an interior design perspective the goal was to use tried and true specifications that were readily available as much as possible.
