The design philosophy is rooted in the concept of equality through architecture. Rather than treating accessibility as a series of retrofitted modifications, the project employs Universal Design principles. By offering “high-end” finishes and spacious open-plan layouts, the building removes the visual and social stigma often associated with assisted living. The inclusion of private ensuites, studies, and balconies for every bedroom prioritizes individual autonomy. Conversely, the first-floor communal balcony serves as a “third space,” fostering social cohesion among residents.
