Environments for Aging * special supplement
The Still Hopes Main Street
project is a reclamation of a
double-loaded assisted living resident wing that stood as a barrier
between the entire independent
living resident population and
all of its activity spaces, including the wellness center, central
dining, and multipurpose rooms.
The space was a long, dark, and
dated corridor lined with resident
doors that had a distinct clinical atmosphere. The space did
not speak to the vibrant, active
community that Still Hopes was
trying to instill and create. Everything changed when the interior
partitions were demolished and
the exterior walls were opened to
flood the space with natural light
and open views out to the impressive surrounding gardens. The
new circulation route is staggered
side to side to open program
spaces for new resident activities
while bringing daylight deep into
the Main Street spine. The former
dining room and multipurpose
space, which were separated by an
underutilized exterior courtyard,
were reconfigured to open into
a new atrium that enclosed the
courtyard. The new space now
ties all the expanded dining venues, resident activities, and events
into an all-seasons hub that's
filled with daylight, lush plants,
sounds, water, and life, anchoring
the heart of the community.
This project has been part of a
14-year master plan designed to
better position the community to
evolve from a heavy healthcarebased population to a highly active independent resident population. Main Street was envisioned
at the beginning of this aggressive
repositioning and has remained
a clear goal through several
large expansion steps, to get to
this stage in the transformation
of Still Hopes. Each stage was
choreographed to build toward
that vision. Achieving the space
that Main Street now occupies
