The story of
StudioSIX5

The history of our name. Let's take a journey into the roots 
of our identity.

StudioSIX5 was born on June 5, 2003, a brainchild of 
B. Dean Maddalena, AIA, NCARB, IIDA, ASID, NEWH, and Lea Von Kaenel, IIDA, ASID. This date marks the inception of our vision: to create interior environments for all aspects of senior living. The name “SIX5” holds profound significance, embodying the very essence of our founding moment. It’s not just a name; it’s a testament to our commitment, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
