Maple Manor is a 55+ community targeted towards couples who are seeking a final home after their large family house.
Micro-living is all about leaving your past behind you, as there is limited space for memorable items. Maple Manor is designed to be the first step of this ideology, with enough storage to keep some of your old life while leaving the non-essentials in the past. Creating new memories and connections is our goal.
With an emphasis on community, these home are perfect for many time of social intereactions between the residents. Offering a spectrum of intimate social spaces to full gathering areas for the whole community to enjoy.
1. Singular Unit Space
The space between the the abode and the main walk way creates a personal outdoor space for the residents to reside. Creating a “Front Poarch” space to interact with people passing by. The space on the side of the house allows the residents to have a little more private area, where more intimate activities may occur.

2. Double Unit Space
When two units come together, the meeting space becomes much larger, creating a courtyard space for smaller meetings to occur.

The spacial organization of the home has a gradient of public to private, starting in the enteryway/ living room. As you circulate further and furthing into the abode, the space becomes more private and more intimate. The roof’s pitch give the space a larger feeling in the rooms where people would most likely reside.

Hilyard St.
N The design of The Manor originated from the concept of establishing a strong gradient between public and private spaces. Guided by this principle, the integration of outdoor areas was achieved through a thoughtful interplay of solid and void forms. To accommodate the expansive spaces and enhance their usability, a sloped roof was introduced, strategically expanding areas where residents are most likely to gather. This roof design also serves a
functional purpose by directing rainwater to a single collection point, optimizing water management. Finally, the outdoor environment surrounding the building was carefully planned to balance private spaces for residents with more communal, public outdoor areas, fostering a harmonious blend of intimacy and community.
