The elderly population is often faced with a lot of the same problems – physical and psychological – and often times they are not living in an environment suitable for these problems. Providing them with a space that is easy to navigate, that limits the amount unnecessary injury and allows them to interact freely with the environment and its users, is the first step in the right direction to a happy life.

The goal of the Winter Park Senior Facility is the create a feeling of openness and movement within the user. The space will be arranged in such a way that the user is able to move around with ease. The circulation will mirror the shape of a wagon wheel, with the common areas surrounding a large fitness room – a space that helps one maintain his or her movement and mental health.
