Next Thursday we will be hosting our next project tour and happy hour!
“Overture Domain was one of the first generations of schemed active adult development track rolled out throughout the U.S. to kickstart the housing concept that allows those that are age 55+ to live in a community with each other and thrive in a fellowship with residents living in a similar stage of life.
The goal for this community was to design on the hybrid model of hospitality and senior living. Since this specific community is located in a high-density office, retail and residential center- the clientele was expected to be a younger 55+ demographic so demonstrating modern and hip elements were important factors. The scheme base color was a rich royal blue so we complimented this with sleek materials such as lacquer and acrylic as well as black and white accents- cosmopolitan influences that fused a minimalist style with edgy patterns and a bit of glamour that still stuck to the senior living design requirements and ergonomics.” - Andrea, Associate Project Manager at StudioSIX5
