Supplement to Environments for Aging

Ingleside at King
Farm offers residents a
place for engaged living.
"We took Ingleside's
vision for engaged living
and reinvented the community with more and
better supportive spaces,
places for increased
social engagement and
eating, and new connections and courtyards for
outdoor experiences,"
says Daniel Cinelli,
partner at Perkins Eastman (Washington, DC).
"Every design decision
we made at King Farm
looks at how spaces support resident (mindful)
choices in creating their
own lifestyle."
This reinvention adds a whole series of new buildings, each with its
own front door, a center for healthy
living with an arts center, classrooms and instructional spaces,
library, game and card rooms,
meditation space and an expansive
multi-purpose room. There's also
an innovative memory support

center and rehabilitation services
that cater to both residents and the
neighboring community.
Refreshing the entry lobby and
common spaces within the existing French-inspired architecture
allows for a transition to more
contemporary interiors for future
buildings. New restaurants range
from the marketplace, coffee shop
and casual bistro with display
cooking to formal dining and the
701 Bar for tapas and pre-gathering space for social gatherings.
Simple, clean lines and an elegant,
approachable aesthetic support the
client's goal to capture a favorable,
lasting first impression from prospective residents while offering
current residents real food and
seamless service for a meaningful
communal dining experience.
Residents may also embrace
small town living in this walkable
community and visit nearby
restaurants and shopping venues,
while others who experience
navigation challenges are provided
with spaces in the community that
lead to a fulfilling, balanced life.
