Award-winning Mosaic Design Studio specializes in design projects related to senior living, independent care communities, healthcare, corporate office space and hospitality. We’re a boutique firm with incredibly large resources and one of the largest research libraries in the country.

Our talented staff can plan and manage projects anywhere, of any size, from interior design and space planning to installation. It’s fair to say that we offer a unique, copywrited design process that separates us from the competition. This process includes:
• Clarity Compass
• Interior Design
• Problem Solving and Needs Analysis
• Product Design
• Project Management
• Standardization
• Procurement
• Space Planning
• Equipment Planning
• Move Planning Services
• Ergonomic Issues
• Interior Landscapes
• Signage and Wayfinding

At Mosaic we always ask ourselves “why?” every step of the way. Why can’t we give the client more than they’ve asked for? Why can’t we use a material no one ever thought of? And why can’t we create a place that is as practical as it is beautiful?

Mosaic builds its business and reputation on long-standing relationships with satisfied clients. Our extensive skills in these areas create comfortable, nurturing, functional and aesthetically pleasing environments. Mosaic’s designs are created and implemented by its team with over 73 combined years of experience.

Mosaic also provides turnkey services that encompass:
• Pro forma development
• Facilities planning
• Project management
• Move management
• Construction management
• Strategic planning
• Capital assessments.

Mosaic also has a complete line of senior friendly furniture called “Designed For Life.” From glider rockers to sofas, the line offers specialty fabrics that are not only beautiful but moisture proof, easy to clean and soft to the touch.
