Hotel Whiting

Hotel Whiting was a hypothetical project in downtown Stevens Point. The goal was to create an assisted living facility for patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The structure was built in the 1920’s and the owners were hoping to keep some of the original features to maintain the title of a historical building. The overall concept was to use the 1920s art deco style throughout the space while also creating focal areas that would help the memory of the residents. It was important to incorporate wayfinding techniques and provide a space that reminded them of home.
