DESIGNING THE DINING ROOMThere are many considerations when designing a dining room in a memory care community, some examples include: • Understanding the psychological effects of colors to promote and stimulate a healthy

appetite.• Utilizing a mixture of natural and artificial lighting to reach adequate light levels for

the aging eye.• Using durable finishes with ease of cleanability and maintenance.• Providing ample space for residents to dine comfortably and staff to have adequate

circulation space to assist the residents with ease.

SENSORY ARTWORKAlzheimer’s research has shown that memories are most successfully retreived through activating sensory stimuli, such as the smell of fresh baked cookies or a familiar song. Artwork can also be a great tool to target the senses of sight and touch.

Metal Art- Selected for its 3D tactile quality

Tapestry- Selected for its soft texture and reminiscent quality of the changing seasons of WI.

A TRANQUIL EXPERIENCEA state-of-the-art spa room promotes healthy grooming and personal care. Designed with controlled stimuli, the spa provides tactile and aromatic stimulation along with sound and acoustic control while encouraging a relaxing resident experience.

THE VESTIBULEDue to the tendency for memory care residents to wander, the locked vestibule is monitored by staff to keep the residents safe inside and control access of visitors. Upon entrance to the building, the windows and sidelights provide a welcoming peak into the living and dining spaces.

ARTWORK PLANEach piece of artwork was purposefully selected for the completion of each space, coordinating its size, shape, colors, and content with its surroundings. An artwork schedule and coded plan were created for owner approval and installation.

FEELS LIKE HOMEWhen designing a memory care community, it is important to create a home-like quality to help reduce agitation, increase comfort, and initiate recognition of memories and personal identity.

BORDERS WITH PURPOSEFlooring borders are utilized to further define the spaces, typically coordinating with the features of the ceiling.

ARCHITECTURE FIRM MADISON, WI ENKE ARCHITECTS

Flad Architects in Madison, WI assisted the 3rd year interior design students in a semester long commercial project. They served as our hypothetical client, relocating their office along with a renaming and rebranding of their company. • The third story of an actual office space in Madison, which was vacant but recently finished, was selected as our site for the client’s

relocation. We were able to tour the space, take measurements, photos, and notes to use for design development.• Employees at Flad allowed us to interview them and take photos of their workspaces, in order to collect thorough programming

information. Several months were spent solely on developing an extensive programming and schematic design report.

The extensive programming phase concluded three major goals for the build-out of their new office: • Providing a combination of work collaborative, social collaborative, and independent work spaces.• Maximizing natural daylight for employee’s well-being and productivity, as well as energy efficiency.• Establishing a new brand identity to reposition the company as a market leader in architecture and design.

BREAK ROOMA triangular space with a curved water feature wall and two glazed curtain walls, employees can take a break from their busy work day to socialize, or enjoy the sun and third story view of the bustling streets below.

RECEPTION Initial view and first impression as guests step off the elevator, this space embodies the new brand of the company. Sleek, modern, punchy- Enke Architects are a leader in the industry, displaying their work on the gallery wall, along with a window view to their state-of-the-art seminar space and roof-top garden.

MAXIMIZING DAYLIGHTTo maximize daylight throughout the third floor, all enclosed spaces such as private offices and conference rooms are clustered at the core of the building, leaving the expanse of windows around the perimeter open for employee workstations.

CORPORATE CULTURE & ADAPTABILITYThe corporate culture of Enke Architecture is one of collaboration; therefore the design of their work place required a variety of independent and collaborative work spaces to maximize employee productivity. The ability to adapt the spaces to changes in the company over time, such as schuffling teams for a new project, was essential . WORK VS. SOCIAL

HOTEL LOBBY, BAR, & RESTAURANT MADISON, WI ICONIC BAR & GRILL

Inn at the Park- Best Western Hotel in downtown Madison, WI assisted the 4th year interior design students in a semester long hospitality project. They served as our hypothetical client, however the owner was actually interested in remodeling the hotel lobby, bar, and restaurant spaces in the near future. Therefore as a class, we were able to provide over 30 distinct design concepts to help her start shaping her vision. • The outdated hotel restaurant had a prime location on the capital square, but struggled to compete with the surrounding night life geared towards

young professionals. The hotel owner requested a full rebranding of the hotel, driven by an initial remodeling project of the hotel lobby and its bar and restaurant.

Major goals of the remodel project included: • Establishing a new brand identity to compete with the surrounding night life on the capital square, through the development of a strong design concept

that would carry through from front door to back, down to the smallest details. • To create a complete and original design concept that would provide guests with an unforgetable sensory experience. Besides the interior design, the

concept development included the planning all sensory stimuli of sight, sound, touch, taste, and scent.

‘DROWNING GIRL’ -ROY LICHTENSTEIN

AMERICAN POP ARTThe concept for ICONIC was derived from the American Pop Arts movement of the 1960s and the cultural ideologies it represented. Art from this period was used as inspiration throughout and in some spaces, such as the reception desk and bar area, a direct reference to specific pieces. ‘SUNRISE -ROY LICHTENSTEIN

“The artist’s job is to be a witness to his time in history.“ – Robert Rauschenberg

ACOUSTICS The heavy drapery on the walls and ceiling provide acoustic control to prevent the loud music from spilling to adjacent, quieter spaces such as the Lounge.

MEANDERING PATHWAYSThe meandering pathways leading from the hotel lobby to the dance floor and bar, provide an energetic experience as the light bounces off the 3D metal relief and dances to the beat of the music. Inspiration Image: Mister Important Design, Vanity Night Club- Las Vegas
