The brief

Linden Studio wanted the common areas to feel like a good hotel, not a care facility, while meeting every requirement for residents with limited mobility: seat heights, arm strength, wipe-clean fabrics and tables a wheelchair fits under.

Tested by residents

Furn brought the mock-up chairs to the building and let residents try them. We raised the seat an inch and strengthened the arms because of what we saw. It’s the most comfortable common area we’ve designed, and it looks nothing like a care home.
