Iniums are property complexes comprising of individual units that include shared possession of common elements. Common elements may include garages, elevators, lobbies, condo gyms, pools and more. Condo boards are responsible for the condo's governance and oversee managers that are hired to run daily operations.
In Denmark, Ingels became well known after designing two housing complexes in Ørestad: VM Houses and Mountain Dwellings.
This means common elements could include, but are not limited to, all the following: land, foundations, hallways, stairways, entrances and exits, common parking areas, storage areas, basement, roof, incinerator, pipes, ducts, electrical wiring and conduits, central heating and air, public utility lines, floors, ...
Kitchen appliances within the units are not considered part of the common elements of a inium project since they are typically owned and maintained by individual unit owners. Swimming pools and greenbelt areas are examples of common elements as they are shared facilities within the inium project.
Common elements are those parts of a condo complex that belong to all owners. With a few exceptions, they constitute everything except the units in which people live. Corridors, garbage rooms, lobbies, locker areas, garages, technical rooms, the roof, grounds, walkways are all common elements.
Residential inium, the Common Elements may include the land, the exterior and common areas of buildings (entranceway, halls, elevator, meeting room, etc.), landscaping, roads, any outside parking areas, outdoor lighting, any recreational facilities (swimming pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, etc.)
