Tucked into a beautifully wooded setting surrounded by towering pines, Atria Cary offers engaging independent living with all-inclusive amenities. Located just 20 minutes from the Raleigh Durham airport, this community is easily accessible for visitors and provides direct proximity to shopping and entertainment centers as well as maximizing access to outdoor wellness activities including the Greenway Walking Trail. Each space within Atria Cary is intentionally positioned to capture views of the 12-acre area of woods and adjacent Symphony Lake, home to the renowned Koka Theatre. The site’s slope created a unique opportunity to draw residents and guests in from the single-story reception area on the second floor with views to the outdoors that brilliantly opens into a double-volume living room washed in natural light and looks out over a natural preserve area. Transitional furnishings paired with a fresh coastal color palette and modern interiors create a vibrant, welcoming community. The double-volume space is drawn together with the stacked-stone-clad fireplace accentuated with an exquisite sculptural glass installation commissioned by a local artist.
The amenity spaces are designed to transition from one to the next allowing for multipurpose uses for large and small events. A quaint and inviting lobby opens up into a voluminous living room, drawing residents and guests to experience the beautiful natural landscape of the surrounding area.
Natural light from the double height window wall in the Living Room washes throughout the amenities creating connectivity to each space. Accents of navy, teal, and ocean blues enhance the white architectural envelope and contrasting dark walnut wood flooring and ceiling.
The restaurant opens up directly into the courtyard. The spacious dining area is centrally located to additional amenities including a private dining room, multipurpose room separated by a double-sided fireplace, theater, and meditation room making it easy to accommodate large events and a variety of functions.
Resident spaces are elevated with distinct touches throughout the corridors and within the apartments. There are no straight jog corridors creating a cozy environment for neighborhood wings. Resident entries feature unique ceiling pendants in lieu of traditional wall sconces to create a touch of home. Elevator lobbies are enhanced with upgraded flooring and a charming ship lap feature wall that assists with wayfinding.
Overall, Atria Cary has successfully created a vibrant community that encourages social engagement and inspires an active lifestyle. Residents enthusiastically attend events and live beyond their apartments in the amenity spaces and out in the community at large.
