DOWNINGTOWN, PA — The Preserve at Marsh Creek has unveiled a significant upgrade to its community clubhouse. The luxury living community for those aged 55 and above has partnered with ModernfoldStyles to install advanced LYNX Telescopic wall systems, setting a new standard in architectural design and functionality for communal living spaces.
The introduction of these movable partitions, designed in collaboration with OMNIA Group Architects and constructed by McKee Builders, represents a leap forward in combining aesthetics with practicality. Made from ½ inch single-glazed tempered glass, the two LYNX Telescopic walls retain the open-floor plan ethos of the clubhouse while enhancing natural light flow and visibility of the picturesque surroundings.
This installation is notable not only for its size, being the largest LYNX Telescopic system implemented to date at 30 feet wide and 10 feet high, but also for its bespoke design elements. Each wall, one powder-coated in black and the other in white, demonstrates the project’s commitment to customization and sophistication.
Ease of use stands at the forefront of this initiative. Given the target demographic of older adults, the walls are equipped with Omnia handles that allow for effortless movement along their tracks, transitioning smoothly from closed to open positions. This feature ensures that all residents can easily adapt the space to their needs, whether for large gatherings or more intimate group activities.
Furthermore, the walls are designed with a twin-panel stacking system that maximizes space efficiency without compromising the clubhouse’s versatile functionality. This innovation allows for the seamless division of the clubhouse into distinct areas, catering to different activities simultaneously while ensuring privacy.
An additional layer of ingenuity is found in the walls’ acoustic features. Equipped with bottom seals and double-sound barrier fins, alongside the ½ inch-tempered glass, the partitions boast an impressive Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 38. This means that residents can engage in various activities without noise interference from adjacent spaces, fostering a tranquil and adaptable communal environment.
Bi-parting doors installed within the system further enhance the space’s flexibility, allowing for multiple configurations that can accommodate diverse resident needs and events.
The Preserve at Marsh Creek’s investment in the LYNX Telescopic glass wall systems highlights a broader trend in senior living communities toward prioritizing innovative design that marries form with function. By adopting such state-of-the-art solutions, the community not only elevates the resident experience but also sets a benchmark for others in the sector.
This development signals a growing recognition of the importance of adaptable communal spaces in enhancing the quality of life for senior residents. As communities like The Preserve at Marsh Creek continue to innovate, they pave the way for a future where senior living is synonymous with dynamic, flexible, and aesthetically pleasing environments.
