MEADOW ACTIVE LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY
a semi-circle ante room and then to a rotun- da. “Visitors experience movement through space,” said Cronin. Each area includes a suspended lighting sys-
tem and a neutral palette to properly highlight art and support the residents’ artwork displays. The rotunda opens to an outside courtyard that sits between the wings of the building. The courtyard features an infinity edge pool and water features, as well as seating areas for conversation. The Meadow is designed to engage resi-
dents in all forms of art—performing, ki- netic, culinary, and visual. An art studio with big windows and an abundance of natural light includes easels, paint supplies, as well as a sculpture space with a kiln. The room also provides visual access via a second level view- ing area, so residents can enjoy watching the artists at work. An 80-seat movie theater includes a small
stage for performances, while a 3,000-square- foot multi-purpose room hosts live theater productions and concerts. The design of the dining venues received
special attention. “We wanted to create a variety of dining experiences,” said Cronin.
Today’s senior living residents are much less interested in a formal dining experience, he added. So the dining design at the Meadow took a different approach. The idea was to create different dining settings where people can engage while maintaining a connection to the other dining areas. Several dining zones were created that
connect visually but are separated by divid- ers, such as a wine wall. One dining zone has 18-foot ceilings and a 12-foot high divider cre- ating an upper connection to the other zones. The coffee shop is connected to the courtyard, which can also be used as a dining venue.
