Celebrating 13 Years: Our Story

August 17, 2020

Our Story

As a design firm, Studio 1∙2∙1 has always been about the story.

From the beginning, we’ve understood that every client is different, every project unique. Location, budget, desired aesthetics, and functionality, all play a role. We thrive on the opportunity to assess each new project with a fresh perspective while staying in continual dialogue with our clients: a one-to-one approach.

Our own story began in 2007 when we set out to forge a new interior design brand built on the one-to-one model. Knowing that relationships are a foundation for effective storytelling, we’ve grown our firm by sitting down and listening to our clients. We take the time to assess their individual needs by understanding not only where they’ve been, but where they hope to go. As a result, we achieve highly-customized results. Every detail, from space planning to millwork, from an eye-catching art installation to the perfect lighting, helps create the story of a space.

Our dedication to developing strategies that execute successful branding for each space is what sets Studio 1∙2∙1 apart. We utilize our wealth of manufacturing resources so that our clients receive unparalleled product options and the benefit of in-house procurement services.

By holding true to our values and standards, we have built enduring relationships and branched into markets across the country throughout the past thirteen years. Our portfolio of senior living and multi-family projects has expanded to include corporate, healthcare, hospice, rehab, and hospitality projects.

Today, our close-knit team collaborates on every project to create designs that stand the test of time to serve our clients.

And our story continues.

A balanced, nutritious diet is essential for everyone, regardless of age, yet it’s especially important for seniors. Our taste buds change as we age, and our bodies can respond differently to certain ingredients due to health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. As such, dining is a primary focus in senior living communities.

Gone are the days of stale activity rooms, and no more dull cafeteria halls with equally bland food options. Common areas in senior living are becoming lavish environments sometimes envied by the younger generation. Upscale dining with chef-inspired cuisine, full-blown spas and outdoor havens are just a taste of what senior living communities feature today.

Intricacies of Design in Model Units
June 28, 2024

We aren’t always asked to design model units, but when we are, we’re excited about the challenge. Designing a model means potentially more prospective residents will see and experience the space to get a better idea of what living at the community will be like. Thus, it’s critical to fully understand the client’s target demographic because the model serves as a first look into the community.
