Verve Columbus

Art Deco-Inspired Academia

Nestled within the heart of Ohio’s capital, Verve Columbus is set apart from other student housing projects by its sophisticated programming and relevant, refined, retro-inspired design. Balancing the opulence and flashy fashions of the past with the temperament and practical needs of the future, our design team anticipated future trends for student housing while incorporating the enduring elegance and sleek design of Art Deco aesthetics as a means to elevate the student housing experience into something grand. As a modern take on Art Deco, Verve Columbus leans into striking colors, uniquely designed materials, bold repeatable patterns, textures, and archway motifs in the entrance lobby, bar, and other shared amenity spaces, ensuring that the resident experience is as glamorous and luxurious as the building’s responsive amenities are.

Art Deco stylings establish the interior of Verve Columbus as a sleek, modern living space for college students and graduates alike, set apart from the rest of student housing in Columbus. Through its interior design and amenity furnishings, Verve Columbus gives its residents both luxury and the luxury of choice. Differentiated by its use of deep, rich colors, pearl-like lighting fixtures, linear textures, metal materials and the repetition of arch motifs, along with other patterns in the carpet and wall graphics of common areas, Verve Columbus aims to present its residents with a unique living experience that is dictated by their needs, desires, and preferences. The emotional mission mapping of Verve Columbus’ amenity spaces is very intentional, serving a morning-afternoon-night use transformation. The four levels of amenities include academic study rooms, a mixed-use club room, and a fitness area, reinforcing the idea that Verve Columbus is a place that embraces the many moods, purposes, and needs of its residents. These flexible spaces encourage student residents to take advantage of Verve Columbus’ amenities for any purpose they need. The study room mezzanine responds to Verve’s ‘Unlonely’ mission by providing private spaces in social settings where residents feel like part of the greater community without necessarily interacting with others. The building’s veneered wood leasing lobby bar serves coffee and other beverages, making the site’s foyer a happening spot to hang out, get work done, and socialize throughout the day and into the evening.
