This year the senior living condo project has been shifted to the Spring semester. The third year students are tasked with creating a hypothetical new-build condo unit and building in Greenville, incorporating features that will allow seniors to age in place. One student explores the design for a Ronald McDonald House, also incorporating Universal Design accessibility principles.
Portfolio 1 sets up the program that will structure the design of this space, with the developer of the senior living community as client.
Portfolio 2 explores design solutions to present to the client developer, which would ultimately determine the layout and look of the model unit for the community.
Portfolio 3 shifts the client and adapts the program: a Gay couple from Pittsburgh want to move into the community, and want to incorporate the decorative arts into their unit.
