SENIOR LIVING FACILITY
THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY - YEAR 3
AS PART OF A LARGER MEDTAIL HEALTHCARE PROJECT, THIS SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY WAS DESIGNED TO COMBINE HEALTHCARE, WELLNESS, AND SOCIAL CONNECTION WITHIN AN ADAPTIVE REUSE ENVIRONMENT. THE GOAL WAS TO CREATE A FUTURE-FORWARD SPACE THAT SUPPORTS AGING IN PLACE WHILE REMAINING VIBRANT, CONNECTED, AND WELCOMING.
WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH MY GROUP, WE PLANNED THE BLOCK DRAWINGS AND OVERALL LAYOUT TO ENSURE A SMOOTH FLOW FROM FLOOR TO FLOOR. I CONTRIBUTED TO LEVEL 2, DESIGNING THE BAR, DINING HALL, AND COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, WHILE ALSO TAKING THE LEAD ON FLOORS 5 AND 6, WHICH FEATURED ONE-BEDROOM INDEPENDENT LIVING APARTMENTS, LOUNGES, AND A CARD ROOM.
THE COMMUNITY PRIORITIZED UNIVERSAL DESIGN AND HOLISTIC WELL-BEING, WITH LAYERS OF CARE, SOCIAL SPACES, AND EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE. FROM WELLNESS PROGRAMS AND REHABILITATIVE CARE TO GARDENS AND SHARED AMENITIES, THE DESIGN PROMOTED INDEPENDENCE, CONNECTION, AND A BALANCE OF PRIVACY AND COMMUNITY.
