Aging-in-Place Apartment Project
Project Goal
To design an urban condo in the South End of Boston for couple Oliver and Hazel Jenkins in which they can live happily and comfortably as they age in place and run their start-up business. The design should reflect the couple’s love for Ancient Egyptian style design, as well as their dedication to environmental sustainability.

Concept Statement
After researching multiple aspects of ancient Egypt, like art, fashion, architecture, and furniture, I have determined that my concept will be an emerald because it is the most prevalent jewel in ancient Egyptian fashion so it will connect with the historical context more. Also, the Jenkins are a happy couple who will need a home that will not only allow them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives but allow them to live comfortably together. The emerald is called the “Stone of Successful Love” and its soothing energy brings freshness and vitality to the spirit. By incorporating the elements of an emerald into the design, I can strengthen their health and longevity as individuals and a loving couple.
