Community Spaces

Creating Unique Community Spaces

At Dimensional Innovations, we aim to foster a sense of community by creating public spaces that engage visitors and bring people together. Connecting members of the community with one another by celebrating the uniqueness of your city or neighborhood. You can also aim to give your guests an emotional tie to the space you have created.

Designing public parks, police stations, transit centers, community centers, and other highly-trafficked public spaces can be an incredible challenge. By focusing on theming, landscaping, signage, placemaking, and more, you can foster a sense of community that is unbeatable.

Developing a theme for your public community spaces is vital. When you have a well-thought-out theme, you can attract more people. DI can help you craft a theme or take your existing ideas and turn them into something cohesive and beneficial to the community. As a community space design company, we have experience creating places that can help bring communities together.

Encourage creativity by incorporating murals into your community areas. Murals are great for showcasing your area's individuality, and they make for great photo ops for members of the community and visitors. Adding murals gives a focal point to your space, and those photo ops can turn into social media engagements across various platforms. Sculptures and art installations can also help bring residents of the community together.

While an attractive design is important, you should also remember that your community values safety. As we work on your design, we need to consider how to get residents to and from your place safely and keep visitors safe as they are enjoying your space. Keeping pedestrian walkways away from motor vehicle traffic and bike zones will allow everyone to enjoy an outdoor area while still keeping safety a top priority.

Signage is another way to keep people safe. If you are working on a park that includes numerous trails, you will want to incorporate signage that keeps people on the appropriate trials and warns them of potential wildlife. You will also want to include directions to specific areas of the park, including picnic areas and bathrooms. The same should be done in community buildings. You don't want visitors to get lost as they attempt to navigate your building. Signage and wayfinding is the perfect way to prevent frustration from guests.

Dimensional Innovations takes a unique approach to community space design. Our initial step starts with listening to your ideas. As you go over your ideas, we will start to develop a unique concept for your community space. Conceptualizing the design leads to developing a schematic that details the space we are creating.

Working further along in the process, we will start to come up with a concrete design. Our team will build any of the pieces that your community space requires. For example, DI can help create sculptures, signage, seating, shelters, and more. Our team can also help incorporate technology into your space, as well.
