COMPLETION:
July 2022
Collaboration between the design team and
provider resulted in biophilic design strategies
paired with specialized programming and
technology resources to foster positive experiences
and authentic interactions. The memory
care residence positions 18 single and two
companion rooms around internal courtyards.
The design basis is research indicating people
living with dementia who are exposed to gardens
and natural light have improved moods
and slower symptom progression.
The two courtyards draw daylight into interior
spaces-promoting natural orientation to time
126 | supplement to environments for aging
of day and seasons without the need for artificial
circadian lighting. These outdoor rooms
become an extension of the living environment.
The vibrant, diversely programmed courtyards
accommodate both active and passive resident
engagement in barrier-free outdoor areas.
These paired small houses incorporate public
and private zones that cue residents to restful,
calm spaces versus active, energized areas. The
resident wings are the private zone, analogous
to the bedrooms in a residence. The public living
and dining zone is centered between the
two small houses.
Design techniques in volume hierarchy,
color, finishes, and artwork reinforce the
identity and specific purpose for each space.
Likewise, service, care base and utility doors
are discreetly oriented away from residents to
curate an environment that aligns with home.
Interactive programming elements allow
people living with dementia to independently
navigate their home and choose how they want
to spend their day. Specific concepts include
life engagement stations, interactive wall art
and activity spaces designed to accommodate
unique projection technology.
