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.
