Driven by resident feedback and COVID-19 health and safety concerns, the dining area at URC Davis was redesigned to focus on wellness, choice, and flexibility. The design team created two distinct dining experiences: the "Marketplace," a bright, open kitchen where chefs serve health-oriented meals, and "The Orchard," a sit-down space with a modern steakhouse aesthetic, featuring rich colors, organic patterns, and intimate seating areas. Inspired by Davis, California’s flora, the design incorporates local color palettes and natural patterns to connect the interior to the surrounding landscape. Rounded arches, organic divider screens, soft fabrics, and gold-finished lighting bring vibrancy to the space, while a white stretched ceiling modernizes the traditional Craftsman style. Dark structural beams were left intact as a visual anchor for residents. Acoustic materials, including a fabric ceiling and custom art panels, were chosen based on resident feedback to improve sound quality. The new Marketplace features a glass wall to reduce noise, enhancing both the visual appeal and acoustic comfort. Additional upgrades include easy-to-read menus, wider circulation paths, improved lighting, and furniture designed for senior residents. A discreet closet for walker storage and transparent decorative screens improves walkability and visibility. The renovated dining area offers a modern, sophisticated space that reflects residents’ needs and preferences, showing them that their feedback has been thoughtfully incorporated into the design.
