1. Layout: The layout is crucial when designing public spaces for hospitality buildings. Arranging seating and other furniture in groupings can naturally prompt social interaction. Use a mix of different types of seating, including couches, barstools, and chairs, so people can choose the one that fits them the most.
2. Lighting: Ambient lighting can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while brighter, task-oriented lighting can make it easier for people to read, eat or work. If possible, incorporate natural light, as it can be more comfortable for people.
3. Décor: Having a beautiful, welcoming space is critical to encouraging community building. Decor and bright-colored walls also cause people to feel more relaxed and create a sense of excitement.
4. Technology: Incorporating a variety of technological features like free Wi-Fi can stimulate collaboration and socializing, and it will encourage individuals to work or relax in the area.
5. Activities: Group activities such as sports games, live music events, or performances can create lively and engaging social gatherings, make people forget homesickness, encourage socializing, and create a strong sense of community.
6. Food and Beverages: People often gather around food and drinks, making food and beverage service an important part of public space design. Providing a coffee bar, grab-and-go snacks, or a full-service restaurant can attract people and create a perfect environment for socializing.
7. Architecture and terrace: The building's architecture can create communal spaces outside the building, encouraging conversation, and socializing. A communal terrace with an excellent view could be used for individuals or groups to relax or socialize.
