While meeting the clients’ request for a checkerboard tile floor pattern, we used a medium grey and cream stone tile in a matte finish to soften the contrast and glare

Among the wide range of seating options we developed in the various dining areas, the most unusual, the banquettes,seen here in the lobby bar, are also the most popular with the residents. The seating is firm, upright, not too deep and easy to enter and exit with the help of the end panel for additional support. Tables are moveable.

Bulkheads, recessed entries and wall sconces highlight the entrance to the resident suites and add visual interest. Higher light levels ensure good visibility. Crisp white painted wood doors, frames and base provide strong contrast between the wall and floor finishes for residents with low visual acuity.
