The decision to purchase a new property or renovate an existing one involves working with professionals and often brings uncertainty due to lack of knowledge and time. Throughout our years, our studio has emphasized in the field of planning and designing properties for ages 55+ and the elderly. The combination of aesthetics and practicality is crucial, and there are many adjustments that can be made when dealing with an older audience. 55+, the third age, the age to start anew... Homeowners have moved away from the tumult of youth, tasted different periods in life, mainly in terms of design, and perhaps have undergone several moves or renovations. Safety and comfort are two central and critical criteria when adapting a new home for older residents. However, prioritizing safety and comfort should not come at the expense of an updated and stylish interior design. Additionally, today's market offers a plethora of options and products designed to ease daily life at home. Our studio team, composed of interior designers, emphasizes quality service, innovation in design, luxury, practicality, and professional assistance in all decision-making processes in construction/renovation, from planning to choosing suppliers and materials. The home space is usually tailored to the unique needs of the property owners, with small details like kitchen functionality, door handles, and the size of entertainment spaces becoming increasingly important and serving as the central anchor in home planning and design. Moreover, the market today is full of options and products aimed at enhancing daily life at home, such as smart homes. There are numerous adaptations that can be made to meet the needs of an older demographic.

:In planning and designing for ages 55+ and the third age, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points

Developers and Transitions

During the home planning stage, it is important to design wide passageways and spacious doorways, and to prioritize ease of movement within the space.

Plan Spaces

When fewer rooms are needed, it's beneficial to expand living spaces at the expense of other rooms.

bathrooms

Despite our love for luxurious baths, it is advisable to replace them with a large and spacious shower unit.

Bedroom

A firm and relatively high bed that allows for easy and comfortable getting up and lying down.

Kitchen

High importance should be given to the storage and placement of electrical appliances in order to avoid bending over or lifting heavy items such as heavy pans

אירוח

The dining area should be placed in such a way that we don't have to rearrange the entire house when extending the dining area for hosting

Lightning

Care should be taken to have night lighting in the bedroom, on the way to the bathroom, and in the kitchen
