Verve Bloomington combines modern farmhouse aesthetics with the charm of a small college town, reimagining student housing. Connected to Indiana University Bloomington yet distinct, this seven-story community offers innovative spaces for students to socialize, study, and stay active. At the heart of the design is the ‘Unlonely Mission,’ which creates intentional areas for varied social interaction, enhancing well-being in the wake of pandemic isolation. Upon entering, residents are greeted by a bespoke leasing bar serving coffee, illuminated by modern globe lights that reflect agrarian themes, with tile flooring and acoustic wood ceilings reinforcing the farmhouse vibe. Inclusivity is prioritized with gender-neutral bathrooms featuring full-height partitions and communal sinks, ensuring a welcoming environment. Maximalist graphics and patterns lead into the mail room and micro-market, offering snacks and brain food for busy students. Residents enjoy a rooftop pool deck and a wellness center with a fitness studio and sauna, enhanced by vibrant neon signage. Various study spaces, including booths and lounge chairs, allow for both focus and socialization. Pendulum chandeliers that resemble planters hang above study booths, connecting the farmhouse theme to contemplation. These thoughtful features foster growth, connection, and enrichment—an ideal setting for students to cultivate their futures.
