Summary
Artisan at Hudson continues the SageLife mission to create environments that foster “The Pursuit of Something More”—a place where mind, body and spirit can flourish. The 160,000-sq.ft community offers independent living, assisted living and memory support units with a comprehensive amenity offering that promotes aging well through their MOSAIC lifestyle (Movement, Outreach, Social, Arts, Intellectual, Curiosity).
Inspired Design
The design for Artisan at Hudson was intended to provide a desirable backdrop for a culturally enriching lifestyle. Described as “artisan living defined,” the interior was curated with careful attention to details and high impact art selections in order to achieve the desired boutique atmosphere and sense of intimacy. It was also planned effectively to support efficient operations. With the bar set high for the promised lifestyle, the environment needed to enhance staff work and service functions.
Style
While the exterior boasts a regional Craftsman-style charm, the interior evokes the appeal of a modern boutique hotel. This contrast in styles offers a delightful surprise for residents and visitors. Providing residents with a hospitality-inspired environment is one of the ways SageLife fulfills its commitment to delivering a better senior living experience.
Materials
The interior creates a synergy between the different styles through material relationships, such as the use of similar stone and wood tones inside and out. A palette of grays, rusts and vibrant blues complement the material selections and together achieve a warmth and simple elegance. Eye-catching lighting fixtures and a comprehensive art program infuse energy into every space and create an inspired environment to support the desired elevated lifestyle.
