With almost 20,000 square feet of shared amenity space, this senior living project offers all of the luxuries of a resort hotel while providing the comfortable feeling of a grand southern estate. The interior design takes inspiration from the architectural style of the surrounding neighborhood.  A welcoming two story entry hall is divided by a double-sided fireplace that connects to an open piano lounge overlooking the courtyard, providing a variety of locations for residents to relax and socialize.  The design team worked to seamlessly blend traditional detailing with a more transitional overall feel for the community.  A contemporary carpet plank tile with subtle organic patterns mimicking the canopy of the large oak trees surrounding the building is paired with wood flooring laid in a traditional herringbone pattern in the common areas.   Sleek modern detailing of the mantle and bookcases surrounding the fireplace in the library lounge contrast with traditional stained wood ceiling beams that align with window treatments in the same warm tones of the beams. The cozy bistro features detailed wood paneling on the front face of the bar and a weathered brick backsplash at the back bar with open shelves and brass hardware.  The spa is filtered with natural light highlighting painted nickel board walls dividing the treatment areas from the relaxation room.  The client’s goal of achieving a luxurious setting conducive to providing attentive care for both assisted living and memory care residents was successfully achieved thru the design of the project.
