doors,” says Owensby. “The double ground- level design also allows an abundance of sunlight into the building.” Characteristics from the historic home in-
corporated into the residence’s design make a quiet impression in the exterior soffit brack- ets, chimney, front porch design and interior wall paneling in the grand foyer. The historic house’s original trim and molding designs carry, over as well. A number of decorations purchased from
the owners of the historic home are dis- played throughout the Sunrise community, so residents can enjoy these art pieces, fur- niture, and photographs. In the grand foyer, a display of artwork and artifacts from the founding family honors the rich history of the property. The interiors of the new building, how-
ever, have a modern twist. New materials were blended in to create different textures, which are also advantageous for residents experiencing vision or memory loss, helping them easily recognize and navigate different areas of the community. The bistro stands out as a good example
of how traditional and modern elements were cohesively combined. The focal point
is a modern stacked-stone horizontal fire- place. Classic moldings and wood-inspired tile flooring adds warmth to the room. Much like in a family home, the furniture styles are eclectic, with a variety of styles and wood tones. Spaces throughout the community provide
multiple points of connection: a sitting room, living room, media room, library, art room, activity room, and several dining venues. Connecting the new Sunrise community
to the historic home is a spacious patio. The generous outdoor area features a fire pit, lounge furniture, and umbrella-covered tables and chairs. Stonework on the exterior matches that found on the historic home. “We blended the old and the new,” says
Owensby. “It was an exciting and challeng- ing endeavor, and our residents and families are very happy with the final product.”
