Below are a few "in progress" photos of Cedar Lane Senior Living Community in Southern Maryland. JSR Associates is renovating the public areas as well as some of the resident apartments, turning some of the apartments into one bedrooms. Can't wait to see the finished photos!
Healthcare Design Student Profile: Featuring Tatiana Epimakhova
Tatiana Epimakhova
MS in Architecture + Health at Clemson University & Fulbright Scholar & Alumna from Russia
Project Description
I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Tatiana on her thesis project that explored planning and design strategies that create an inclusive environment for the elderly-- designing community that integrates various generations for mutual support-- a community for all ages. The aim of Tatiana's research was to define design strategies as tools for creating a community for old and young generations in the U.S, and apply them through the development of a conceptual project. Seven imperative guidelines were developed based on a literature review and analysis of the best design practices of multigenerational communities in the U.S and Europe. When a community becomes a positive intervention-- this is the future for healthcare and senior living. Congratulations Tatiana!
