Senior Living

This is an elevation concept we did for Senior Living Apartments in a mixed-use development. Our hope is that it gives a monumental feel, getting away from the cheap-vinyl, apartment complex look and appearing more like it was repurposed from an existing building. Arched doors open into the communal gathering areas, giving residents views onto the street and a greater sense of connection to the neighborhood. Store-front style windows on the wings open into eating areas, giving the appearance of old shops. Hopefully, by placing the Senior Apartments in the middle of a mixed-use development, the residents will be less isolated and be able to integrate into the neighborhood instead of being isolated in a building complex on a large tract of land lost somewhere in the suburbs.
