The Spires has succeeded in creating a welcoming, non-institutional environment that feels more like an activity center than a traditional senior living community. Residents and students from Berry College find the space comfortable and easy to navigate. Kwalu\u2019s Altavilla Dining Chairs are focal gathering points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe love the comfortable furniture and find people sitting all the time in the lobby; they might have their feet propped up on a table and are just chilling out. We\u2019re not fancy at The Spires. People really feel like it\u2019s home, because it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The primary objective for The Spires at Berry College was to deeply integrate the senior living community with the adjacent Berry College campus in Rome, Georgia. Offering a range of senior living options: independent, assisted, memory care, and skilled nursing and rehabilitation, The Spires site is just a third of a mile from the college, connecting it via walking trails and a road, providing access for both pedestrians and cars. Seeking common spaces to facilitate intergenerational interactions between students and residents, The Spires contracted with senior living experts, Faulkner Design Group<\/a>, Dallas, Texas, to design common spaces to facilitate intergenerational interactions between students, while also designing the dining areas and residences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spires’ design was heavily influenced by the surrounding Berry College campus, including the modern architecture of the Ford Building and natural elements like the nearby Eagle Lake and rock quarry. The Faulkner Design team aimed to capture a “modern mountain lodge” feel that would integrate seamlessly with the college\u2019s aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents can move from independent to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing\/short-term rehabilitation suites that include Kwalu furnishings: the Atlanta bedside Chest, overbed table, and Acute Momentum Motorized Recliner, Atlanta Headboard and Footboard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFaulkner Design Group’s philosophy for senior living projects is to create a cohesive, residential feel across all levels of care, aiming to use similar finishes and materials throughout, so residents don’t feel like they are moving into a more institutional environment as their needs change,\u201d says Nicole Hill,\u00a0Faulkner Director of Design and Senior Project Manager for The Spires. \u201cThe goal is to provide a seamless transition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spires interiors are designed to meet all the safety requirements and dimensional needs for residents. Faulkner’s approach to designing for multiple levels of care is to maintain consistent finishes and materials as much as possible in order to avoid residents feeling like they are moving into a more institutional environment if they move to a higher level of care. To achieve this, adaptation is required for the memory care and short-term disability areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have 330 residents that move throughout the facility. One of my favorite aspects of Faulkner\u2019s design is that every single door has the same shade of green paint around the frame, and the same exact light fixture and nameplate,\u201d says Laurie Steber, executive director of The Spires. \u201cYou walk down a hallway to memory care or healthcare, but it still looks the same.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Faulkner Design team aimed to capture a “modern mountain lodge” feel that would integrate seamlessly with the college\u2019s aesthetic, while offering resort-style amenities. The wing back style of Kwalu\u2019s Solarino chair and the table adds to easy community gathering just beside the house bar that features Altavilla Counter chairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Faulkner\u2019s designers integrated Kwalu furniture throughout The Spires, citing the brand’s durable Protea\u00ae finishes, and ability to withstand the heavy use in senior living environments that also have high safety standards.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot only does Kwalu have really nice looking products, they’re very good about coming up with fresh designs. Each season, Kwalu\u2019s designers seek the input of our firm, and I’m sure other firms like ours\u2019, to ensure that its designs are looking modern and not reflecting senior living communities of the past,\u201d says Hill. \u201cThe biggest achievement is the durability of Kwalu Protea finishes. Senior living communities get used quite heavily. There’s a number of factors, standards, and dimensions to be considered that also ensure the furniture is safe for residents to use.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe love the comfortable furniture and find people sitting all the time in the lobby; they might have their feet propped up on a table and are just chilling out. We\u2019re not fancy at The Spires. People really feel like it\u2019s home, because it is,\u201d says Steber. \u201cThere\u2019s a natural organic feeling with the integration of the colors to reflect the woods and water on campus.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steber indicates that it is common to have 25 to 30\u00a0students eating with the residents and just hanging out with them, playing games or toasting S\u2019mores on the porch. When a rare snowstorm in Georgia closed local food services and\u00a0kept the girls\u2019 basketball team on campus, The Spires hosted the team for dinner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Floor to ceiling windows illuminate the community gathering, performance, and guest-lecture room. Adelfia Stacking chairs accommodate every person\u2019s ability and moves easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere’s also a lot of moving furniture around as spaces are constantly rearranged within the communities for events and activities. It can get unintentionally abused pretty easily with chairs being shoved underneath tables during dining,\u201d Hill observes. \u201cFurther, cleanability is a key issue. You know, senior communities, not unlike hospitals, use extremely harsh\u2013especially after Covid\u2013cleaning chemicals. We found that the Kwalu Protea\u00a0finishes can handle all of that abuse.\u201d Hill also indicates that the finishes on their case goods and soft goods also can handle being run into tables or shoved up against walls without scratching, dinging, or denting of the finish. \u201cIt can last a very long time in a high-use community. That’s what the clients want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faulkner Design Group works closely with Kwalu to customize furniture with COM fabrics that integrate with the overall design aesthetic, then presents physical samples to the client for final selection. \u201cKwalu offers a variety of Protea finishes, allowing designers to specify the same chair frame with a different finish and the COM. While this isn\u2019t a fully custom piece, it allows for flexibility in design, making the chair unique to each project,\u201d says Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Kwalu manufactures in Mexico, its lead times are shorter. \u201cIt’s faster for us to get their product, and we’ve always had a really great working relationship with them,\u201d Hill reflects. \u201cKwalu has helped us out when we were in a pickle many, many times. So, yeah, all around, they just really have great customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spires has seen significant demand and growth since opening in June 2020, with many referrals from current residents, and there is land available for potential future expansion with more social spaces and meeting rooms for the residents and students to share.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
