REMODEL/RENOVATION COMMON SPACEREMODEL/RENOVATION 2011 CONTEST

Welcome to the 3rd annual Remodel/Renovation Contest. Tis year, we presentanother opportunity to learn from effective renovation projects with a design-for-aging focus.

In todays climate, many communities are being challenged by the necessity ofchange, often driven by aging buildings, competition or regulatory requirements.Projected financial outcomes can also necessitate the aggressive and strategicrenovation of existing buildings.

As you review this years projects, you will be struck by the recurring themesof interaction, sense of community, supportive homelike environment and thecollaborative efforts that went into these remodel/renovation projects.

Among the remodel/renovation projects submitted for this years competition,the judging panel noticed several trendssome old and some new. For example,one continuing trend in the Dining Room category was the decentralization oflarge central dining areas or the subdivision of the larger rooms into smaller zones.As in previous years, the sensory experience of the resident was considered bydesign teams that focused on incorporating better lighting and ensuring visual andolfactory exposure to the food preparation and serving areas.

Te Common Space group had the largest variety of functionally differentspaces. However, a main theme seemed to be the repurposing of interior andexterior spaces to provide residents with additional gathering and activity areas.Contrary to previous years of the Renovation/Remodel competition, it was notablethat submissions in the Resident Room category did not strive to create privaterooms or smart doubles with wall partitions. Surprisingly, a majority of the entriesconcentrated on updating finishes in double-occupancy rooms, without addingadditional features to promote resident privacy.

The selection processDuring the first two weeks of April, almost 200 submissions were reviewed by amultidisciplinary panel of invited judges from the Society for the Advancement ofGerontological Environments (SAGE). Te panel included architects, researchers,interior designers, educators, providers and culture change specialists. Each judgeviewed the submissions according to his or her own area of expertise, ensuring theprojects were evaluated on a wide range of criteria. Judges rated the submissionsand provided comments to help clarify the rationale for the rating.

Te top projects in each of the three categories were selected for display andvoting on Long-Term Livings website (www.ltlmagazine.com). Visitors to thewebsite viewed and voted on the projects. All projects from the online voting

are featured in this section, with the highest-rated project receiving a Best inCategory citation.

We hope you enjoy reviewing the winners and runners-up of the 2011 Remodel/Renovation Contest. Please consider this supplement as part of your ideasbooklet for implementing design change strategies. As a reader service, we havelisted product and service providers associated with each project. Dont forget totake before and after images of your own renovation projects to contribute tofuture editions of the Remodel/Renovation competition.

Jury comments:

The end result is extremely successul, and the overall design o the new

public area corridors and lobbies are inviting and welcoming to new and

current residents.

This is a wonderul change rom a utilitarian environment to one that

invites residents to linger. The fnishes and trim are o a consistent

high quality rom oor to ceiling, and the detailing is well executed.

The urniture groupings will encourage dierent activities to occur

simultaneously and enhance the community experience. The emphasis

on access to natural light makes these spaces all the more attractive or

resident activities.

The varied urniture patterns, colors and styles add interest and

authenticity to the space. The primary neutral palette provides

opportunity or personalization o spaces. This project emphasized

resident involvement in the design phase o the project. This not only

benefts the project through increased buy in, but sends a distinct

message that this community sees residents as partners.

Reader comments:

These changes are so dramatic. Awesome job!

Absolutely beautiul transormation! So very dierent, beautiul

fnishes....very warm and soothing, yet calming!

Beautiul use o space! So much more inviting!! Lighting greatly

enhanced as well.

Dramatic turnaround. Institutionally sterile gives way to warmth and

coziness.

Fantastic; never would have recognized the rooms as the same.

In tune with current interests while handicapped accessible.

WhiteStone, under the leadership o

Lie Care Services (LCS) Develop-ment, was looking or ways to improve

the marketability o its campus while

enhancing the community experience

or its existing and uture residents.

Over the years, new cottages and a

health center had been added, but the

campus lacked a central clubhouse.

In order to draw residents rom

their cottages to engage in community

activities, the team transormed an

existing building by creating a distinct

entry point and flling the oor plan

with amenity-rich spaces with a true

clubhouse appeal. By utilizing theexisting building, the team was able

BEFORE

to preserve the history o the campus

while preparing the community or u-ture growth. (This project signaled the

kicko o a multi-phased, independent

living expansion project.)

A traditional Southern dcor adds

warmth and color to the previous insti-

tutional design, but includes touches

o contemporary inuences to add

interest. This style and color palette

was based on resident eedback early

in the design process. Each room o-

ers a unique identity with a variety o

urniture groupings to support dierent

activities.

Although the budget was a chal-lenge, the team was able to create

an environment that

encourages interaction

and supports a sense

o community. Resi-

dents gush over the

space, and sales have

increased expo-

nentiallyincluding

the sale o fve units

COMMON SPACE REMODEL/RENOVATION

The most difcult job o any acility

is to make residents eel at home.

This is especially challenging when

every day is set by the clock and

schedules or various activities.

The objective o Fairmont Health

Cares remodel-renovation was to

redefne the existing space to drive

increased resident and amily social

engagement.

This design met the owners

goal o increasing person-centered

care, and acilitated a deep cultural

change by decentralizing dining

into neighborhoods, while central-

izing activities into zoned social

hubs. This approach encourages

residents to become involved in

activities on their own and with the

group. The energy o engaged resi-

dents transers to those who might

not otherwise participate.

Sta can easily increase thenumber o activities at the same

time, involving residents in baking

cookies, playing cards, watch-

ing TV, surfng the Internet or just

reading.

Everyone likes to do a variety o

dierent activities, and wants to be

able to choose or change those as

they wish. Sometimes, simply deliv-

ering a dierent set up or changing

the ambiance means a lotnot only

or the residents but or the sta.

Happily occupied residents produce

a happy, less stressed sta.

Fairmont Health Care

Chicago, Illinois

The new Pratt Pavilion synthesizes

proud history, architectural design and

a passion to deliver the highest caliber

rehab experience in an extraordinary

setting. Long Islands Pratt Institute,

noted or its architects, was named

ater the owner o Glengaris Pratt

Pavilion; and the Pratt Mansion is one

o the areas proudest landmarks.

When Glengari Healthcare was

purchased in 2008, the new owners

were determined to create a campus

that would be a haven o cutting-edge

medicine and luxury. The mission was

to integrate a wholehearted approach

o patient-centered care, and at-

tract a younger and healthier popula-

tion in need o short-term rehabilita-

tion.Patients and amilies thrive at Pratt

Pavilion. Five-star amenities provide

patients with the sense that they are

guests in an opulent hotel, connected

to the world via Wi-Fi, cable and TV.

Integral to creating a high-end rehab

and nursing acility was the upgrade

o patient areas or everyone to enjoy.

The lobby was signifcantly opened

to allow residents/patients and their

amilies an area to socialize and con-

gregate. The sta is energized by the

bright, aesthetic environ-

ment and is enormouslyproud.

The remodel-renovation

team encountered a myriad

o challenges, particularly

when they had to open up

the lobby and remove

a weight-bearing wall.

Serendipitously, assisted

The Pratt Pavilion

by Pratt Institute-trained architects and

engineers, they worked or one year

to close o the area and the sections

above it in order to place support to

bolster the building, while they took

The photos show the ability to

completely transorm an outdated

and very medical-model type o

activity/dining room into something

that is warm and beautiul!

This renovation created a dramatic

change rom the institutional eelo the original space. The fnishes

and color palette are very well

done. Incorporating the seating

area adjacent to the dining area is a

good decision.

The fnishes and details provide an

upscale eeling to this space. The

change in oor materials defnes

Great update or these residents toenjoy. Now warm and inviting.

The dierence is amazing!

Window, ow and urniture

This project consisted o the complete

architectural interior remodel o the

existing, outdated AdministrationBuilding at the Samarkand Retire-

ment Community, a aith-based CCRC

owned by Covenant Retirement

Communities, and located in Santa

Barbara, Cali.

The scope o work entailed creating

a more open and welcoming environ-

ment or both residents and sta by

designing a more simple entry se-

quence with a single grand staircase,

expanding and enhancing the lobby

area, adding a new conerence room,

reconfguring ofce spaces to be more

unctional, and providing completelynew interior fnishes, urnishings and

lighting.

The renovation was based on the

historic Mission-style architecture

that is heavily emphasized within the

local building guidelines and ties the

exterior design with the interior design.

The existing exterior consists o a

traditional Santa Barbara white stucco

aade, black steel windows and a red

tile roo. Dark-stained heavy timbers

with corbels defne the vaulted ceiling

in the expansive double-height entry.

Although the two-acre courtyard at

Willow Valleys Lakes Community had

served residents well or 20 years,

Willow Valley sought to urther engage

residents by oering year-round oppor-

tunities in an outdoor environment.

Willow Valleys goal o providing

residents with world-class amenities

was a driving orce in this remodel-

renovation. New gathering areas were

created, including a large patio outside

o the main indoor resident union. The

patio, adjacent to a cascading water

eature and sculpture, promotes social

gatherings and al resco dining in a

resort-style atmosphere. The second

patio includes an eight-oot fre pit sur-

rounded by a pergola/gazebo.

A complete outdoor kitchen sup-

ports new activities such as amily

cookouts and other get-togethers.

Residents enjoy playing outdoor table

games, relaxing in the sun and having

cool evening freside conversations.

The remaining hal o the court-

yard includes meandering paths with

landscaping that supports various birds

and wildlie, along with opportunities to

stop and rest.

DINING ROOM REMODEL/RENOVATION


Interior design and place-

ment o urniture can help

create a supportive, relaxing

and inviting atmosphere. In a

healthcare environment like

Regency Rehabilitation Center,

the use o carpeting, wall cov-

erings, art decor, lighting and

other design elements create a

homelike environment. Bryan

Barrish, Regencys president,

stated that up to now, the de-

sign teams ocus was to have

a clean, sae, easy-to-maintain

environment. However, the

team renewed its vision to

encompass the Baby Boom

generations expectations o

high-quality accommodations

and areas that accommodate

involvement o amily members

in patient care such as spa-

cious, private rooms with Wi-Fi

access and more.

With an emphasis on creat-

ing a supportive environment

based on residential infu-

ences, the teams initiative in

changing the dining room was

to resemble restaurant dcor

using high-quality urniture

and an inviting atmosphere.

Other ocal points include:

opportunities or socialization

and stimulation; a better dining

experience or residents; the

creation o a pleasurable, stim-

ulating, homelike experience,

to provide restorative ocus

using the proper placement o

urniture in the dining area (part

o a well-designed therapy

program); and nally, to strive

or a ve-star restaurant and

dining experience.

In short, Regency Reha-

bilitation Centers smartly

designed environment can re-

mind residents o the comorts

o home.

Jury comments:

Signifcant changes were obviously made here

that have altered the room towards a welcoming

appearance. I see a warmer color palette, which

is clearly appreciated, as well as evidence o a

buet style o dining.

An obvious success in an attempt at

transorming an institutional dining experience

to one more suggestive o a hospitality-themed

experience.

Heavily softted ceilings and patterned wall

covering add interest.

Reader comments This is a warm and riendly space.

New coloring and urniture make it look much

warmer.

Love this! Very pretty!

Beautiul, huge incredible dierence!

Much warmer appearance.

This project changes shabby to a relaxed fne-

dining experience. Great job.

One o the best transormations out o all the

This community center reinven-

tion ocused on merging the latest

advances in senior living with its

350-year-old Quaker heritage. During

a series o ocus groups and review

meetings, the residents o Foulkeways

at Gwynedd made it clear that they

expected a wide range o amenities

and modern conveniences, but were

not interested in glitzy or ostenta-

tious design. Rather, they envisioned

a vibrant dining, gathering and activity

hub that embodied the Quaker ideals

o simplicity, humility, and light and

utilized natural, sustainable materials.

A signifcant challenge was creat-

ing a coherent design image or the

building, which had been renovated

six times over the past 40 years. Ater

analyzing 16 Quaker meetinghouses in

the Historic American Buildings Sur-

vey collection, a division o the Library

o Congress, the design team, working

closely with resident representatives

and community leadership, identifed

a pattern o Quaker vernacular, which

led to the fnal solution.

The building additions created a

cohesive aade defned by traditional

Quaker design principles, while pro-

viding space to expand and update

the main dining room, library, lounge

and auditorium on the upper level. The

ormal dining area was updated with a

sign is simple, but o the best sort.

The Kendal at Hanover Dining Services

venues were almost 20 years old, out-

dated and did not serve the needs o its

sta and residents. A Dining Services

Task Groupinvolving residents, man-

agement and stawas established

and developed several major goals

or the project, including a new open

kitchen, a reurbished dining room, and

a totally new Ca and Coee Bar.

Almost three years in planning, the

design was intended to accomplish

several major goals: Dining Services

should be a gathering place and not

just a location or nourishment. The

venues should serve as the hub o

the community through a dynamic

operation that always eels open and

inviting. Dining venues should providea style and fnish that is understated

and not ostentatious. Dining Services

should provide a wide range o ood

oerings and services that will appeal

to both current and uture residents.

It has been one year since this

project was completed, and it has

dramatically improved the unctional-

ity and service to the residents. The

DINING ROOM REMODEL/RENOVATION


Design Ideas Group led the master

planning committee through a process

that identifed realistic, creative and

practical solutions to enable this

community to reach its ull potential by

enlarging the circulation area in ront

o the Stonebridge at Montgomery

dining entrance, and relocating spaces

that blocked the visual and physi-

cal connection to the dining room to

increase seating. The combination

o these elements has energized this

central gathering space, making it

the ocal point within the building and

community.

The ormal dining room was

expanded to accommodate additional

seating or approximately 30 residents

and to alleviate waiting times during

peak dining hours. Improvements

that opened up the ormal entry se-

quence include architectural elements,

fnishes, urniture and art selections.

An existing bar, small lounge area and

private dining room were eliminated

to accommodate or the expansion

and additional seating. The dining

room received a new custom wood

rame, and glazed entry wall and

doors leading to and rom the dining

room into the main circulation corridor.

An existing freplace was removed to

create a strong and direct connection

between the new dining room and

the lounge/waiting area that residents

As part o the renovation, all the

fnishes, ceilings, lighting and urniture

out, giving the fnal completed dining

room a better ow, a greater aesthetic

presence within the acility and, most

importantly, achieving the goal o the

master planning process.

Located in the retirement community

o Westminster Oaks, this renovation

project took place in the main dining

room within the Parry Building. The

existing dining room was antiquated,

in need o renovations, and the exist-

ing fnishes needed upgrading. The

dining room was divided in hal by a

corridor that ran directly to the serving

line rom the entrance into the dining

room.

The objective o this project was to

create a large dining space, chang-

ing the traditional dcor to a more

contemporary dcor with traditional

detailing. The new design called or

creating an entry oyer that opens into

the centrally located main dining room.

Dining rooms are located o each side

o the main dining room, providing

three separate dining spaces. The

perimeter walls o the dining rooms

have been designed with accent light-

ing to highlight paintings and artwork

that adorn the walls. The buet-style

serving area is located o the main

dining room through two, large-cased

openings. The serving area was rede-

signed with new serving line casework

stations, and lighting.

tween the serving line and kitchen. Ex-

isting equipment locations within the

kitchen limited the amount o space

and door locations into the serving

line. Ater several design schemes and

coordination with kitchen sta, a suc-

cessul design was completed. Both

sta and residents are thrilled with the

new dining acility.

Jury comments

The project is successul

because it responds to the

physical needs o the residents.

Also, by keeping the fnishes

warm, clean and simple,

residents are not overwhelmed

with detail and prints.

Opening up this space to the

adjacent lounge area with the

big glass wall is a wonderul

way to make it inviting and eel

more spacious. Even the things

let in place eel resh with these

changes.

Reader comments:

Nice.

Very nice. The space has been

opened up in a lovely way.

Jury comments

The success o this project lies

in the act that the ocus o

someone entering a space is not

based on getting served at a

caeteria line, but rather deciding

to go to dinner and having

multiple choices o seating in the

dining room.

A very nice example o a

metamorphosis rom institutional

to hospitality.

Removing the confning walls

and selectively raising the ceiling

did so much to open up this

space and make it inviting. Great

new servery, including better

apparent trafc ow. Nice work.

Reader comments

Looks much better.

This redesign is light, open,

contemporary and artistic. An

excellent job!

Much brighter!

REMODEL/RENOVATION RESIDENT ROOM


This project entails the

conversion o a 10,000-

square-oot foor o a

CARF/CCAC-

accredited continuing

care retirement commu-

nity in Oakland, Cali., to

a new Memory Support

Program. The existing

foor o The Grove at

Piedmont Gardens

consisted o 18 under-

utilized independent

living apartments. The

conversion resulted in

16 private studios, each

with an ADA-accessible

bathroom. Two apart-ments were removed

rom service to create

the circular fow and to

bring in as much natural

light as possible.

Each element o the

design is intended to

give residents who have

dementia/Alzheimers

the sense o a dignied

home and the oppor-

tunity to get it right.

Each resident room

door has a painted accent surroundand a memory box, which enables

residents to share highlights o their

lie. Other design devices include: use

o a color palette, which is stimulat-

ing to the aging eye; use o accent

colors to create warmth and also to

create contrast with bathroom xtures

Shared to private, nice dcor, warm colors, added display shelves.

Good color scheme and a nice residential feel. I like the ceiling lights, bed table lights and window

coverings.

Reader comments

Clean lines, uncluttered; nicely done! Excellent use of space!

This is a beautiful use of old and dated space, and converting it into a new, attractive and helpful

space for residents with dementia. Good job!

Unbelievable transformationgenius at work.

I have had the opportunity to tour this project. The photos do not capture the complete beauty of

this transformation. I would be thrilled to have any member of my family here at the Grove.

This is one of the most beautiful memory care designs that I have seen. When you walk in, you just

feel the warmth, caring and dignity from each and every room, the details and intentional memory

support design/furnishings. The photos dont do it justice. It is wonderful.

Very nice. The renovations open this room up nicely for an Alzheimers resident.

RESIDENT ROOM REMODEL/RENOVATION


The clients were moving rom a more

than 3,000-square-oot townhouse in

a suburb o Boston to their new home

in Fox Hill Village. The 1,400-square-

oot apartment they purchased had

been frst occupied in 1989. Twenty

years had passed, and everything

about it was tired and in need o

upgrades. The kitchens and two bath-

rooms had to be gutted, and the ow

o the unit was not quite right. The

clients could not imagine that their

need or storage could be achieved.

But J. Schwartz Design (JSD) is expert

at carving out o the most improbable

places.

In this project, the clients asked

their daughter Jessica, a student

o design, to work closely with

JSD on everythingrom architec-

tural changes to the reconfguring o

spaces by the moving o walls, the

design o built-ins, and the urnishings

and fnishes. The clients had many

special requests, including supple-

mental heating, an ingenious vanity

confguration in the not terribly large

master bath, and an ofce ft out or

the husband.

Because o the scale o their old

urnishings, it was decided to make a

resh start with new, more appropri-

ately sized pieces. Throughout theproject, JSD worked closely with

Jessica, keeping her parents ully

inormed. The beauty o this project

was utilizing every inch o a compact

space, while maintaining an air o

simplicity, clean lines and openness,

which is not oten achieved in moves

o this sort.

The project came in on time and

on budget. A noted personality in

the housing/renovation media is a

riend o the amilys, and upon see-

ing the completed apartment noted

how intelligent and successul he

thought JSDs approach had been.

Most important, thanks to the work

o JSD and Jessica, the clients had a

new home that met all o their needs

and then some.

The clients were moving rom a

nearly 4,000-square-oot townhouse

on the North Shore o Boston to a

1,600-square-oot apartment in Fox

Hill Village, Westwood, Mass. They

had art and objects, and too much

stu. Because they were young

retirees who were still very active in

their proessional lives and volunteer

activities, they both needed the use

o a shared ofce. Other requirements

were a new kitchen and baths, a den

that could double as a guest room, as

well as ample display space or their

art. Their prior home was very ormal

in eel, almost orbidding at times, and

the clients wished or this apartment

to be more user riendly or both

themselves and amily and riends.

The apartment was vintage 1989

and had not been updated in 20 years.

J. Schwartz Design (JSD) moved walls

and created an open ofce adjacent to

a new custom galley kitchen. By the

shrewd use o color and carpets, JSD

transormed the bare white box into

a stunning backdrop or the clients

urnishings and art, which they were

able to take with them. The exception

was the guest room/den, where JSD

started rom scratch with new urnish-

ings and fnishes.

Fox Hill VillageWestwood, Massachusetts

By careul planning and attention

to every detail, JSD was able to an-

ticipate all the aesthetic and technical

challenges o the project. The clients

were active participants throughout,

and are now ensconced happily in

their new home.

Occupancy in the Rosalie Bomar

Assisted Living Dementia Unit at Still

Hopes Retirement Community was

quickly sliding downhill despite high

marketing trafc. The units more tra-

ditional community areas and resident

rooms, oering minimal storage and

space, needed modernization. Pro-

spective residents and their amilies

sought comort, convenience and an

environment where they could age in

stylepart o a new resident popula-

tion whose expectation is high-end

comort, convenience and the latest in

technology.

Knowing design that addresses this

new culture and its inherent liestyle

trends head on will own the uture

in terms o viability and potential

proftability, GMK Interiors worked with

Still Hopes on extensive renovations

to 24 resident rooms and its public

healthcare areas. The design team

created custom storage spaces, along

with new fnishes and fxtures or each

resident room, as well as renovated

bathing spaces. Working to open

each room up and create more usable

space, the designers reprogrammed

existing areas and added resh design

materials. The result: personal, resi-

dential rooms easier to navigate and

more accommodating rom a storage

standpoint.

The traditional healthcare unit was

transormed into a residential-inspired

space oering comort, activity and,

above all, choices that meet the resi-

dents needs and exceed their expec-

tations. The renovation proved a huge

success, most readily seen through a33 percent increase in occupancy.

The administrator and sta at The

R.H. Myers Apartments noticed trends

were beginning to change in 2007

with increases in applications rom

couples and singles desiring larger

apartments. Conversely, demand or

the sites standard 517-square-oot

apartments was waning. In an existing

high-rise building, 30 sets o adjoining

small one-bedroom apartments were

converted to 16 two-bed, two-bath,

1,050-square-oot apartments with

ample living and kitchen space.

A committee made up o sta,

board members, tenants, amilies and

the sites architect was involved in

the processrom suite design and

material selection to the relocation and

construction impact on each tenant.

The committee surmised relocation

would be the biggest challenge when

making way or construction. However,

those ears quickly dissipated with the

frst ew moves. With proper planning,

it became a seamless operation. Fami-

lies took their loved ones out or the

day. When they returned, all o their

belongings were removed rom the old

apartment and placed in an existing

unoccupied new apartment, just as

The R.H. Myers ApartmentsBeachwood, Ohio

they had let them.

Sta streamlined utility billings, ad-

dress changes and other notifcations.

With walls being torn down and rebuilt,

noise had to be controlled. On a daily

basis, sta would inorm tenants in

and around the most aected areas o

the routine or the day. The construc-

tion crew was kept to a tight schedule

that everyone had agreed to rom the

start. By monitoring trends and adjust-

ing to the sites changing population,

The R.H. Myers Apartments has been

able to eectively meet the needs o

the community.
