Privacy and sound control strategies (hugely important in coastal neighborhoods)
Even a beautiful unit can feel uncomfortable if privacy and acoustics are ignored.
Design strategies that help:
- place bedroom windows away from neighbor sightlines
- use landscaping or privacy screens to shape outdoor space
- use solid-core doors and thoughtful insulation for sound control
- plan mechanical equipment locations to minimize noise
- consider window glazing options when street noise is a concern
These details are often overlooked early—but they are what makes the space feel peaceful.
