Over the past few years, we have renovated more than a dozen active adult community clubhouses. These clubhouses are the hub of the communities, not only by supporting the current residents with a social place to explore their hobbies and interests, but also a major selling point for the resale of homes in their neighborhood. By updating your clubhouse, you can keep the community vibrant and growing.
Today’s consumer is more sophisticated than ever. To keep your facility relevant, we develop design solutions unique for each project that are both functional, beautiful and technologically updated. Whether you are the owner of a major hotel brand, boutique hotel banquet facility, restaurant and/or bar that needs renovation, we look forward to providing the design vision needed to create an outstanding long-term return on your investment.
We specialize in creating environments sensitive to the diverse needs of seniors in Continued Care Retirement Communities (CCRS’s). We pride ourselves in designing with the knowledge that this is home for the residents and we incorporate comfortable social spaces within each project to promote the feeling of community. Our goal is to ensure that the residents are secure, comfortable and happy, while increasing the profitability of your facility.
Many studies have proven that nature has a soothing calming effect on people under stress. When designing medical offices and healthcare facilities, we strive to incorporate natural elements and calming color schemes while also taking into account your need for functional efficiency, way-finding, maintenance and or course, budget.
