ABOUT THE PROJECT
Carolyn's design for White Pine Village at Long Lake is guided by the idea of “islands of the self.” This phrase refers to how key aspects of one’s personality can still be seen even as dementia progresses. Islands of the self informs a design that engages residents’ memories through a multi-sensory experience. Through biophilia, intuitive space planning, sensory-based environments, experiential wayfinding, and adaptable units, the building supports each resident’s unpredictable path through aging and dementia.
