Retirement &
Hospitality Design
A typical hospitality or retirement
residence design project consists
of the following phases:
Planning &
Interior Design
Following the completion of our detailed Design Assessment and consultation with Linda Price-Bennett to define the project vision and goals, Viali contributes to the development of the project’s overall conceptual model. This encompasses the aesthetic direction, material selection, and the functional and emotional resonance of the space for its residents, staff, and owners.
Viali plays an integral role within the broader project planning team, collaborating closely with architects, consultants, and senior management to review, refine, and finalize all design plans.
Our design services typically include: Comprehensive space planning and room layouts, lighting and electrical planning, custom millwork design, selection and specification of plumbing fixtures, finishes, and flooring, window treatments and soft furnishings as well as furniture, artwork, and décor curation, and automation, audiovisual, and technology integration. Viali provides design coordination for all common areas, including reception zones, lobbies, dining areas, offices, hair salons, fitness centres, medical suites, meeting rooms, family visitation spaces, and dementia-sensitive environments (for retirement residences). And finally, exterior furnishings, landscaping, and finishing details.
Exterior Design & Landscaping
Viali’s exterior design expertise encompasses all elements that shape the building’s architectural presence and outdoor experience. This includes cladding and façade treatments, porches and balconies, windows, roofing, landscaping and hardscaping, irrigation systems, outdoor structures, patios, swimming pools, and outdoor living areas.
Working in close collaboration with the project team, Viali ensures that every exterior design element reflects the project’s aesthetic vision while optimizing functionality, resident experience, and cost efficiency throughout the process.
Procurement Management
As part of the design development process, Viali curates and recommends a comprehensive Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) package tailored to the project’s aesthetic and operational requirements. Our team identifies trusted suppliers, manages the bidding process, and negotiates the most competitive pricing to maintain transparency and accuracy in budget forecasting. This structured approach ensures a seamless and efficient procurement phase.
Finishing &
Final Detailing
The Finishing Stage focuses on the precise coordination, selection, and supervision of all installation and finishing teams to ensure exceptional quality and craftsmanship. This phase includes the inspection, correction, and finalization of details such as: Flooring, millwork, moldings, and trims, door hardware, railings, and lighting fixtures, appliances, security systems, and fitness equipment, furniture, window treatments, artwork, and décor.
Where applicable, Viali also oversees the selection of bedding, linens, kitchenware, and other finishing accessories—ensuring a cohesive, polished, and fully realized interior environment that reflects the project’s vision from concept to completion. The project concludes with the delivery of the Project Realization Package, which includes warranty documentation, care instructions, and maintenance guidance.
A retirement home must feel like a home, not an institution.
