Starnet Design Awards 2018 Silver Award Winner, Multi-use Category
Arbor Terrace Hamilton Mill is a senior living facility that specializes in independent living for seniors who expect more from their next living experience. Designed by Studio Six 5, an award-winning senior living interior design firm based in Austin, Texas, this beautiful space celebrates life with bright blues, warm accents, and pretty details. The design was chosen to represent a deep sense of purpose, reflecting the consideration, respect, and admiration held for seniors. Blending creativity and research, the designers aimed to provide comfort, inspiration, and peace of mind through environments that are both beautiful and functional. DCO Commercial Floors was used as the flooring contractor for the project. One of the challenges faced was that the second floor had thin 1” gypcrete floors but also had roll-in tile showers. DCO Commercial Floors had to slope the floor properly and use the correct products to gain enough fall for the water to go down the drain. The large number of different types of finishes was very difficult to keep track of on site. DCO Commercial Floors had a very limited time frame to install all of the resident unit flooring and tile. The type and position of the drains posed quite a challenge to be able to drain properly and appear aesthetically pleasing. Even with these challenges, the project management team and site superintendents made this a successful, award-winning floor covering project. +++ Since 1998, the Starnet Design Awards have recognized dynamic relationships between Starnet Members and the A&D community by spotlighting the innovative use of flooring in commercial design. On Friday, April 20, Starnet Commercial Flooring celebrated the best of the best in commercial flooring design and installation at the 2018 Starnet Design Awards. Our project, The Arbor Terrace at Hamilton Mill senior living community, was awarded Silver Winner for the Mixed-Use Development category.
