FINAL REFLECTIONS Throughout the process, I feel like there could have been more opprotunities to explore the customization and the personalization for each individual.

The renderings could have considered more of the flexiblity during the changing seasons.

Originally, I had thought to make a single building that would strive to accomplish all my hopes and dreams for the aging population.

However, as it developed, the project became a prototype model that could be replicated onto various sites. It has been an exciting, albeit strenous journey completing this Thesis. I only wish that both my grandfathers could have lived through the COVID Pandemic see the design I had created for them.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Words cannot describe the constant and reassuring love, care and support, I have recieved from all the people around me.

I could not have make it through the end, without these wonderful people in my life and I will be forever grateful.

In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain.
