S3E3 - Designing Healthier, Happier BTR with Ben Hall, LOFT
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the No Bullsh*t Property Podcast, we welcome back Ben Hall, the owner and founder of LOFT, to talk about how interior design can shape healthier, more inclusive Build-to-Rent communities.
Ben joins Howard and Paul to explore how flexible, multifunctional amenity spaces can encourage community, reduce social isolation, and respond to what residents actually want. Together, they discuss how the design of shared spaces has evolved and why simply adding more features isn’t always the answer.
From biophilic design and sound-absorbing materials to layouts that encourage calm, connection, and comfort, Ben shares with Howard and Paul how LOFT is helping developers rethink the role of interiors in modern BTR living.
They also cover the importance of designing with empathy, listening to residents, and creating practical, inclusive spaces that get used whether it is a yoga studio by day and event space by night, or a room supporting everything from seminars to socialising.
