There’s a lot to love at Parramore Oaks, Downtown Orlando’s latest affordable housing project. The prime location makes it key for walkability - steps from ZL Riley Park and a playground across the street, entertainment venues like the Amway Arena, Dr. Philips Performing Arts Center, Camping World Stadium, and Church Street Station, and downtown shops, restaurants, offices, transit options, and more. Residents also enjoy their own greenspace, a stylish community center with a kitchenette, library/business area, fitness room, kid’s activity room, on-site property management/leasing office, and service providers offering seminars and workshops. The community is made up of one 4-story building with 83 units, and an adjacent 2-story building with 8 units, and built using concrete block walls with hollow core, precast plank floors, and roof. “We are proud to be a part of the development team that was able to bring back much-needed apartments to the City of Orlando. Parramore Oaks II completes the property that was once called Parramore Village which had been demolished over 20 years ago.” - Jeffrey Chue #architecture #multifamily #affordablehousing #apartments

And that’s a wrap for the Florida Senior Living Association’s ENGAGE 2024 Conference! Held last week at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando, Team Forum - Michelle Rademacher, Glen Baurhyte, Architect, and Becky Trybus CHID EDAC RID IIDA wined, dined, attended sessions, and exhibited at the conference. They had a blast reconnecting with some of Forum’s Senior Living clients and contractors, made new connections, and played with the puppies at the conference’s famous Puppy Pits. Be on the lookout for insightful conference takeaways coming soon! #seniorliving #assistedliving #memorycare #independentliving #architecture #interiordesign

The spotlight is on Tiara Aponte, Designer II at Forum. Tiara decided to go into the architecture field when she was 12 years old looking at house floor plans in Better Homes & Gardens magazine. While flipping the pages, she dreamt of creating a beautiful and peaceful space for her family to call home. Her grandmother and mother thought it was a noble profession so they supported her to continue on that path. Since then, she has never wanted to be anything else. Tiara has been at Forum for 4 years and is an integral part of one of our multifamily studios. “I take pride in being a Forum employee-owner, which in itself is an amazing and unique opportunity to be a part of, and to be part of a company who is dedicated to the professional growth of all its employees. On a more personal note, Forum has a special place in my heart as it has supported me in times of adversity.” Tiara’s professional goal is to obtain that coveted title of Architect. We have no doubt she will achieve this accomplishment. We are incredibly lucky to have Tiara at Forum and look forward to her continued success! #architecture #architect #designer #employeeowner #ForumFamily

BRIAN ZIMMERMAN has been a loyal employee-owner at Forum for the past 5 years. He has over 20 years of experience managing and leading design teams in the student housing, multi-family, commercial, and government market sectors. As a Studio Director for architecture, he leads a team of 5 and coordinates directly with the owner/client throughout the project timeline. Brian received his Bachelor of Architecture from Florida Atlantic University. It was here where his passion for architecture flourished as he became recognized for his design excellence. In fact, when Brian was in architecture school, one of his projects won a design competition that included a monetary prize and coverage in the local paper. One architectural trend Brian notices clients are asking for are modern designs with sleek, clean lines. A specific project he is proud of that encapsulates this trend is, Blue Coral Apartments in Naples, FL, which is currently under construction. Blue Coral will bring 234 luxury apartment units to the area. We are fortunate to have Brian’s leadership and passion here to mentor and guide our design staff. Brian is a licensed architect in the state of Florida. #architecture #multifamily #apartments #employeeowner #forumfamily

During this week’s Business Development & Marketing Team huddle, we chimed in with our take on a fresh and innovative idea for memory care facilities that allows both the patient and the spouse/caregiver to stay together. It’s natural to do it. As we interface with the market sectors we serve, we think about our own future. Will we go to a memory care facility? Will our spouse? Will our parents…? In preparation for this post, and in light of what someone shared in our meeting, curiosity piqued regarding the early symptoms for memory loss. Alzheimer's Association®’s list of ten made us go 😮 Research, communication, collaboration, and then sharing our thought-leadership is nothing new for Forum Architecture and Interior Design Inc. We do this all the time on projects and in our conversations with clients or consultants. But we have recently launched a fresh way for you to receive our expertise. Reach out to our Business Development Director, Michelle Rademacher, for exclusive access to Forum Thought Leadership. #seniorliving #design #environments #memorycare #thoughtleadership #FORUM
