ABOUT THE PROJECT
A dandelion is a flowering plant representing the return of life, the rebirth of growth, and displays abundant strength and power. This senior living community will embrace the growth of these senior adults through their next chapter in life.
As the last cycle in a dandelion’s life is the most delicate, as old age is in adults, the designer will be mindful of the design choices used, especially within the memory care living quarters. Through the use of natural elements, light features, and organic shapes, this concept will inspire and provoke a peaceful environment to stimulate self-growth and reflection as well as nurture past and future memories.
