Picture a perfect day: AM: lounging poolside with palm trees and a slight breeze. Afternoon: Chauffeured by a Mercedes for a mid-day shopping spree on Worth Avenue. PM: waterfront dinner followed by a movie with your closest friends. Am I describing a vacation? For some. For others, this is every...single...day. Let me introduce you to the MorseLife Stephen and Petra Levin Tower: the latest in luxurious independent retirement living located in Palm Beach, Florida, US.
MorseLife is an award-winning health care campus that features assisted living, short term rehab, memory care, long term care, and independent living for seniors. Founded in 1983 by the Jewish Community of Palm Beach County, MorseLife’s mission is rooted in innovation, passion and compassion for the elderly.
The latest edition to the campus, the Stephen and Petra Levin Tower, is a 10-story, 300,000 sq ft property that hosts 135 one and two-bedroom rental apartments with 100% capacity and a waiting list! Floridian seniors see the MorseLife difference and are signing on to the resort-like lifestyle. Amenities include (but are not limited to!): concierge, spa/salon, fitness studio, pool and hot tub, movie theatre, bar, kosher restaurant with waterfront dining, billiard room, library, weekly housekeeping, an on-site medical clinic led by a Harvard geriatrician, and a social schedule that rivals the hottest in multi-residential living. Jealous much? The apartments also host private balconies and plenty of high-end materials.
The project is widely successful due to PerkinsEastman’s esteemed eye and philanthropists Stephen and Petra Levin’s $5M donation and fundraising efforts. The interiors are fresh, bold, artistic and FUN! The Miami-based Levin’s are renowned art collectors and it was important to incorporate a contemporary feel throughout the building.
As designers ourselves, Yellow Goat is the go-to for infusing interiors with sculptural art through light. PerkinsEastman called on the Goat for several spaces within the property (props for an awesome collaboration!):
Porte Cochere Entry: Fantail
- 2-Story Library and Gallery: Curls
Lobby: Ruff Pendants
Bar: Bentendo
Restaurant: Arboreal
