April 13, 2024AIANY Design for Aging Committee Meeting | March 28, 2024
The Design for Aging Committee March meeting was delighted to have Lisa Cini, award-winning senior living designer, author, and CEO of Infinite Living, to present the renovation of the historic Werner House into a senior-friendly Airbnb that incorporates aging in place design concepts and technologies. Cini created a website to showcase products she recommends at bestlivingtech.com and captured the process of renovating the Airbnb mansion in documentary series titled “Infinite Living Secrets of the Werner House.”
Cini’s presentation sparked a lot of great discussion. We appreciate her sharing with us these wonderful ideas and examples!
As we enter the spring, more Committee events will be happening, including:
- Design for an Aging Population: The Female Perspective, April 2
- Pratt Student Presentation, May 9
- Remembering Herb Oppenheimer
The complete meeting agenda and events in formation for Tafel Hall panels can be accessed here. We look forward to seeing everyone on April 25!
