<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nA lovely piece sits atop the fireplace at The Claude at Chevy Chase Lake.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bozzuto is a family owned, vertically integrated real estate organization. We have four main divisions, including Management, Development, Home Building, and Construction. This mix isn\u2019t necessarily unique\u2014but what is unique is the experience our people across the organization provide. We pride ourselves on creating sanctuary. Being vertically integrated also allows us to provide an even more seamless experience on the management side\u2014especially for an asset that is developed, constructed, and managed by Bozzuto\u2014a flagship project. Our organization proudly manages and constructs for third party clients who are aligned to our brand platform of delivering an extraordinary experience. Third party is the majority of Bozzuto\u2019s management portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The effort to incorporate thoughtful art programming comes from the very top of our organization\u2019s leadership. It\u2019s this collective passion for art and creativity that sets the tone and appetite to layer on this important aspect to our projects. Thoughtful art programming contributes to providing an extraordinary experience for our residents. Our residents want to feel connected to where they live. The layering of art is a huge part of contributing to that. From large-scale sculpture at the site level to wall hangings in the corridors\u2014it all contributes to a sense of place. All credit must be given to our attentive development team for truly leading the coordination of this effort at the project level. It\u2019s my pleasure to advise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Work in style with a beautiful piece by Brad Huff.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We take pride in crafting thoughtful property brands with narratives that our residents feel connected to. Our Customer Experience (CX) team does a lot of important ongoing research on our customer journey and the mindsets of our residents\u2014what truly makes them tick. We\u2019ve been able to articulate several attributes that are fairly consistent across the majority of our resident base. A few of those attributes including being achievement oriented and having high standards. Details matter to our residents. By providing a thoughtful narrative in our properties through the confluence of art, brand, and interior design, our residents feel like they are experiencing sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n An original piece by Susan Wolfe Huppman perfectly fits in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Art elicits emotion but it\u2019s also a conversation starter and connector. We often program events around art in our buildings or even in the community it surrounds. Art brings people together and it\u2019s an important thing to consider when developing any space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The discussion of art is a very collaborative one. It\u2019s a topic of passion. In the context of third party managed assets, Bozzuto\u2019s involvement in the art programming truly depends on when our team is onboarded and the scope of our Advisory phase. It is in the instance of a Bozzuto owned and developed asset where our range of motion is boundless. We rely on our partners in KBAA to be the connector of our team to talented art and artists locally and nationwide. They take into consideration the brand of the property and the narrative we want to tell \u2013 or expand upon through art programming. It\u2019s a wonderful collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The residential game room brings in the calming palettes and textures of nature.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Curation is an art of its own. An art advisory team such s KBAA has the breadth and resources to connect the dots with our vision of the development and the art that can bring it to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our properties are not precious. The goal is to not program a museum where a resident does not feel welcome to casually lounge and enjoy the spaces. Our amenity spaces are an extension of their home and should feel as such. Details like an elevated sense of arrival with lush contextual landscaping, to the subtle aroma of Bozzuto\u2019s signature scent, White Tea & Thyme permeating in the lobby lounge\u2014it all signals sanctuary. Our residents want to feel proud of where they live. As such, our goal is to provide a premium experience, but not pretentious. We take pride in finding the right balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of my favorite pieces is the custom ink and pen illustration by Hadley Radt in the amenity bridge at Aster in College Park, Maryland (showcased in the hero image of this blog post!). The scale and unexpected round shape of the piece complement the sinuous lines of the feature lighting and the live edge table. It grounds the space nicely. I\u2019m also just a personal fan of the meticulous nature of the pen and ink medium. This piece is a great example of the throughlines created with the built environment and the interior design\u2014an ultimate goal. I could name many other favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" KBAA connects with the VP of Marketing, Creative Director at Bozzuto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[38],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nTell us about what makes Bozzuto a unique real estate management group.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
