Beyond Senior Living: Designing Communities for Inclusion
What We Did
The Context
The Results
Legacy to longevity: acknowledging that older adults are active members of society who require the infrastructure and amenities to continue living life as they want.
Functional to experiential: moving beyond single-use spaces to create adaptive, multifunctional destinations where people can live, socialize, feel safe, and have meaningful experiences.
Isolation to participation: taking a more holistic approach to developing spaces for older adults. Inviting them to be active participants in driving their desired experiences.
Fixed to flex: developing adaptable building infrastructure that evolves and changes to people’s needs as they live longer lives.
