View of the Entry Garden
The entry garden was a space designed to transition from the open nature to a more private interior. There is seating throughout the garden for the residents to sit and observe as people walk by.
Drop-off/Loading Zone
The feature wall frames the main entrance of the senior living complex at the drop-off area. The framing of the wall helps seniors as well as guest know where to enter the facility.
Activity Garden
The front porch is right outside the main garden and leads straight to the activity garden. The porch has places for sitting when they get tired from the activities.
Western View of the Bedroom Units and Private Porches
Materials used on the outside of the building help distinguish what is going on inside. Each community area is sectioned off by using different material. The material will help with wayfinding for each of the residents. Also, each resident have their own back porch so that if family members come to visit, they has a private area to talk with them. Glass doors and windows bring in natural light to each room to help each resident have the desire to go outside.
