DESIGN VERSATILITY
BKV Group provides knowledge and experience for a wide range of senior housing project types.
We don’t have one style of design. In fact, we tailor each design to the client, locale, and target guest or resident. We are passionate about helping our clients identify, pursue, and achieve ambitious goals in creating unique, meaningful places of value and purpose. Our designers have a profound responsibility to drive positive change in our communities.

SUSTAINABILITY & WELLNESS
BKV Group recognizes the positive impact an environmentally-sensitive building can have on the people who work and visit it. We also know that an environmentally sensitive building can reduce operating costs and energy consumption, and position our clients as leaders in community responsibility. BKV Group has LEED-accredited professionals in the architectural, engineering, interiors and specification disciplines, including project leaders in each discipline. Numerous projects have been designed to LEED standards, and beyond designing sustainable as good standard practice, BKV Group has also designed projects following B3 guidelines, Enterprise Green Communities criteria, and the National Green Building Rating Standard.
A holistic approach to a balanced lifestyle with focus on mind, body and spirit are critical considerations for residents of all ages. Multi-family housing communities need to take into consideration how they may best support residents personal, occupational, and social success while providing a living experience that aligns with their values and desires for a well balanced life. BKV Group explores health and wellness concepts with eight different areas of focus: Social, Environment, Occupational, Spiritual, Financial, Emotional, Intellectual, and Physical wellness. We look at how each of these areas translate to resident needs and how they affect design trends that can shape the student living environment.
