Meet the winners and finalists in the eighth annual
Environments for Aging Remodel/Renovation
Competition, focusing on single spaces
For the second year in a row, the Remodel/Renovation Competition has focused
on the category of "single spaces"-including dining areas, resident rooms, activity
zones, courtyards, spas/wellness centers, chapels, theaters, salons, and other
resident areas. The nice thing about having something of a catch-all category is that
you get to see a lot of variety-yet because the spaces themselves occupy fairly
small footprints, you can get a very good idea of exactly what changes were made,
and why.
This year's entries were literally all over the place (in a good way), and the 10
finalists, especially, offer some really creative efforts to both modernize a space and
take better advantage of underused areas. This year's winner, as voted by our panel
of judges from SAGE (Society for the Advancement of Gerontological Environments),
is the new wellness center at Plymouth Harbor on Sarasota Bay in Sarasota, Fla.,
designed by THW Design (Atlanta). The designers transformed a grim basement
fitness area into a bright, sleek, and welcoming space that offers much more than
standard exercise options. For more on the project in the designer's own words, turn
the page. And keep reading to get project insight directly from the other nine finalists
(including Readers' Choice winner Aldersgate Retirement Community Town Center in
Charlotte, N.C.), as well.
We'll honor the 2016 Remodel/Renovation Competition winners at a special
awards luncheon during the next EFA Expo & Conference, Feb. 26-March 1, 2017, at
Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. A special thank you to our jury (listed at left) for taking
the time to evaluate this year's entries.-Kristin D. Zeit, Editor-in-Chief
About the submissions: The Remodel/Renovation
Competition submissions come from across the U.S.
and cover a variety of construction costs and project
scopes. Every year, a multidisciplinary panel of invited
judges from SAGE (Society for the Advancement of
Gerontological Environments) reviews the submissions.
The panel includes architects, interior designers,
researchers, academics, regulatory experts, and
providers. Judges view the submissions according to
their areas of expertise, then rate the submissions and
provide comments to help clarify the rationale for the
rating, before selecting a winner. The top 10 projects are
made available to the public for online voting to select the
Readers' Choice winner. All project write-ups beginning
on page 52 were provided directly by the submitting firms
and were not edited for content by the Environments for
Aging editorial staff.
