Designing for an
aging population requires a sensitivity for people who will insist on
maintaining their independence as long as possible. In order to design
for
shifting degrees of independence, as architects, we must recognize a
holistic
approach that tackles not only architectural space, but strategies that
consider
social and economic independence.

This single family
residence responds to the typical transition of a
working couple into an empty-nester retirement home. The house
negotiates a series of seemingly polar conditions. They no longer need
space for the kids, but want to be able to accommodate a large family
function
on special occasions. They need assistance but demand privacy.
Despite a fixed income and unstable economic conditions, they want to
maintain a
standard of living they have become accustomed to. They demand
independence.
