In order to create an updated and more private recovery environment for short-term stay patients, Covenant Living of Northbrook undertook the delicate task of separating long-term resident living spaces from short-term patient areas.
The short-term stay dining room was remodeled to reflect a more hospitality-like atmosphere and the physical therapy gym was expanded. Also, to ensure long-term care residents feel “at home,” their dining/activities room were renovated to include more intimate, residential aesthetics, and a new central family room space was created by capturing former office and clean linen rooms and opening them up to the corridor.
Needed to transform tight institutional spaces to create comfortable residential areas.
Utilized existing corridor as informal socialization area.

The Three Crowns Park dining room project, completed in 2024, transformed a formal dining room and bistro into a vibrant space. The design team faced a unique challenge: how to create an exciting, contemporary atmosphere while maintaining excellent acoustics—particularly tricky after removing sound-absorbing elements like carpeting and tablecloths.
