Over the past few months, Apartment 238 at Vinson Hall Retirement Community (VHRC) has been transformed into an “Innovative Model of Living,” an apartment that looks and behaves more like an upscale hotel room than your typical retirement unit. It is the tangible result of an idea that senior living spaces – given the right form, bold design, aesthetics and new technology -- can continue to be highly functional and safe, but provide a major improvement over traditional spaces.
The Innovative Model of Living (IML) is a collaborative effort between VHRC and design expert Moira Leite of M. Quinn Designs. Leite, with her “Beautiful Accessibility” concepts, brought to the project many years of professional experience in planning, designing and retrofitting homes to meet the functional needs of her clients while applying elegant decorating techniques.
