CHALLENGE:
Develop a full service CCRC on a suburban site limited in area by wetlands, conservancies and future interstate on-ramps.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Two major points of entry, a primary entry to the commons/independent living components and a second that leads visitors into a very residential neutral zone separating the skilled nursing and assisted living components.
- Because of this planning strategy, reception staffing was reduced and the high-end atmosphere eliminates any institutional overtones.
- The 7,200-sq.ft. Wellness Center featuring enclosed pool, workout rooms, massage room and country club style locker rooms set a new standard in the marketplace.
- Interior courtyard is the coal point of the common areas and reinforces the village-like intent of the design.
- Exterior design influenced by the client’s interest in creating a specific brand, has inspired other CCRC providers to follow a similar format.
