A Look Inside Atria Mount Pleasant
Atria Mount Pleasant is located among the rich cultural and artistic features of the town of Mount Pleasant, SC, a family-friendly neighborhood that is connected to downtown Charleston via the Arthur Ravenal Jr. Bridge. The community’s design pursues the concept of minimizing the separation of independent and assisted living levels of care while maximizing the choices and autonomy of residents.
All levels of care enter through the same doors and are greeted in the same reception area. This eliminates hierarchy in the community, promoting interaction between all levels of care. Independent and assisted living share amenities such as the Bistro, Club Room, and Wellness Suite. Multiple courtyards are accessible to these residents through the connecting Grotto. The open nature of the common areas allows staff more flexibility and collaboration among caregivers. The core of the building and common areas are built to assisted living code regulations and fire protection standards providing maximum flexibility so that rooms on the third level can be easily converted to meet any assisted living needs in the future. The memory care neighborhoods remain secure but still have a connection to the main entrance.
The community’s design entwines the picturesque and elegant charm of low-country architecture into each space, creating a sense of unity with its surroundings. The interiors are fresh and lively, filled with emerald greens and scarlet. Highlights of black and white in vibrant traditional patterns are presented in fabrics, flooring, and wallcoverings. A subtle continuation of the exterior architectural features into the interior gives a feel of Southern hospitality and charm, while still providing modern design elements that appeal to the wide variety of those who call Atria Mount Pleasant home. With careful study of Southern culture, the implementation of the local vernacular into the architecture and design allows the Atria Mount Pleasant community to fit naturally within its setting.
