    Abstract
    Residential downsizing in later life is a complex process often laden with emotional stress. This design practicum explores the adverse effects of this transition, and how they might be mitigated through interior design. Central to this analysis is the significance of home and the presence of memory in sentimental environments. The primary lens for investigation is phenomenology. This theoretical perspective dissects the lived world as a set of phenomena, exploring the relationships between humans, as sensory beings, and the given world. To consider phenomenology in relation to context and design programme, numerous and diverse investigations are conducted. Investigations include: contextual analysis, precedent analysis, and theoretical literature review. Each exploration supplements the design process and proposal of the hypothetical Assisted Living Residence, “170 Ashland Avenue”.
