5 Accessibility
The Baby Boomer generation are all about function. Allowing the majority of the spaces easily accessible and low impact is very important. Flooring changes may not be necessary, while available elevators are.

As for lighting, this space is fully wrapped in curtain walls 3’ from the ground, making this a very well lit space. When it comes to dark areas, it was important to add lighting along the path of travel for guests to easily move from one space to the other. Sound comes into play as there needs to be a separation between the public space and the hotel rooms. Doors were added not only for a visual separation of the spaces, but as a sound barrier and the other fire codes it covers. Material choice was important in the concept, as well as the wellbeing of the individuals in the space. Comfortable textures and light floors bring a light and airy feel to the space, creating a tranquil environment. Goals 1 Encourage socialization and engagement among users 2 Create a personalized experience for every member during their stay 3 Utilize wayfinding techniques to allow for easy movement throughout the space
