FURNITURE, INTERIORS & DESIGN THE ART OF LIVING
What if design could change the way we look at aging? In Canada, the shared living spaces of the new Cloria residence, designed by Taktik, offer an experience that breaks away from the conventions of senior living environments, encouraging autonomy, freedom, and the desire to live together.
Since the creation of Cloria living environments in 2018, Taktik has been designing the heart of senior residences: common spaces conceived to foster connections, extend the feeling of home, and support a new way of experiencing retirement.
In this residence located in Beloeil, the layout proposes a coherent framework where private and collective spaces naturally interact, serving daily encounters and exchanges.
“The success of the project lies precisely in the fact that it doesn’t feel like entering a retirement residence," explains Alexa Adam, interior designer and project manager at Taktik. "Of course, we ensured ergonomics adapted to the users by avoiding seating that is too low, but above all, we sought to break free from the
aesthetic codes usually associated with this type of environment, in favour of a more contemporary and universal language.”
From the moment you enter, the gold zinc logo elegantly affirms Cloria’s identity. Around it, a bright waiting lounge takes shape, where a signature bench defines the space. The design is thoughtful, with clean lines and light fabrics. Concrete, metal, and pale wood form a restrained, contemporary palette, warmed by comforting textures and colours.
The heart of the project is organised around a landscaped circular hub. The custom circular planter at the centre becomes both a spatial and social anchor. From there, corridors extend in a star-shaped layout, distributing the different areas. This
