How do you define "sustainable excellence"- and "Can a Luxury Home Meet “Aging-in-Place” Needs? Use this page to draw your own conclusions.Here are a number of points to keep in mind:
a) The relationship
between size and function
b) Current and future use of the home -a family legacy?
c) The necessary
universal design elements for aging-in-place
d) The possibility of multi-generational - or collective use
e) trend among our “Boomers” toward planning a place to live- whether that be new construction, or home modification to fit “aging-in-place” needs.
Here’s something we can tell you, for sure. "Green Built " and "Luxury Sustainable" properties come in many shapes and sizes. There are small footprints – possibly with elevators and three-stories rising in the trees, there are larger footprints – all on one level- and set neatly into the landscape. There are homes sited to take advantage of solar benefits. And, there are those very large homes designed to take advantage of the gathering of intergenerational needs. And you may find
- Post and Beam Timber construction
- AAC (Aerated Autoclaved Concrete) building systems
- DURISOL(mineralized woodchip wall form exterior wall system)
- ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) wall system
- SIP (Structural Insulated Panels)

After
some lively discussion around the kitchen table, the idea that "one
picture might be worth a thousand words"- despite the pages and pages of
information we provide here- took flight.So
here and on our PINTEREST BOARDS you will find our gallery of
aging-in-place photos. We hope that you will find inspiration here.
Can one image be worth a thousand words?

Boomer consumers have a powerful impact on today's marketing
outreach. It is no longer a "youth market." Boomer-consumer
power not only can spearhead new ways of expressing the phases of life,
but can help to focus on quality of life regardless of age or physical
ability. This is a message we highlight in our writings at The Sage Companion Quarterly and in any number of pro-aging reports from Silver Sage.
