Independent Living facilities offer seniors a carefree living environment. Residents are able to live on their own independently, while benefiting from a community of close-knit seniors with similar interests and lifestyles. DPA designs spaces to encourage seniors to stay healthy and active such as Aquatic and Fitness Centers, Wellness Facilities, and outdoor exercise areas and paths.
Douglas Pancake Architects (DPA) is an architectural firm offering a specialized focus to address the nuances of building for the aging community. Aspects that must be carefully thought out include lighting, color schemes, and designing for autonomy. With 25 years of experience in senior housing, Douglas Pancake leads a group of talented independent living architects in understanding how to best design facilities to help meet the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of seniors. As the population ages, the need for more senior housing will increase, and DPA will be there to offer experienced and compassionate service to assist the most vulnerable members of our communities.
