Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best retirement housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
With the rise in India’s elderly population, senior living residential projects are flourishing. The growth in this sector is fuelled by a generation of seniors with the financial means to live well in retirement choosing to invest in purpose-built communities rather than relying on traditional family structures.
Take, for instance, 92-year-old Sumitra Rajapati who has lived at Manasum Avighna, a luxury retirement home complex in Bengaluru, for four years. “I’ve made this place my home,” she says. “We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and every festival with pomp and energy.”
The Avighna complex spans one acre and has 110 one-bedroom apartments.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
