Best affordable seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted

LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best affordable seniors 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.

The homeowners took the uncommon step about a decade ago when designing their house to not just make the entrance foyer an art gallery, but also to have lofty ceilings and wall space for the Weir artwork.

On swinging open the door, visitors will be wowed by the light, the sense of space, and the beautiful artworks that adorn the walls. Look up to discover an Italian, handmade crystal chandelier that opulently presides over the entrance gallery with a 5.7m-high ceiling, above a combination of Huon pine, celery top, and Tasmanian oak timbers.

Mrs Nothling said the house had many secrets to reveal.

“Every time I come here I find something new,” she said.

“You can take in an almost 360-degree view, but the thoughtful window placements also allow privacy.

“Many homes offer a wide aspect, but this one feels like every window is a piece of art.

The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
