“Site constraints are used by the design-


ers to great advantage by tucking parking behind the building, thus celebrating views and connections to the surrounding com- munity,” says Senior Living by Design judge Cynthia Shonaiya, AIA, principal at Hord Coplan Macht. The bold design incorporates straight


lines, natural materials and clean finishes. Innovative technology is used throughout the property. Senior Living by Design judge Bruce Hurowitz, of Merlino Design Part- nership, notes that the contemporary design of the community is unabashedly modern, yet warm and inviting. Design flow is another plus: On the


ground level, the space transitions seam- lessly from the main lobby to the lounge and


bar to the main dining room. Vertically, the main lobby staircase and the elevator area connect easily to the second-floor library, the whiskey bar, the club room, the multi- purpose room, and the movie theater. Flex- ible design accommodates residents’ and programmed events, from small workshops to large receptions. The healthy indoor space uses lower amounts of energy, water, and other natu- ral resources. The community is on track to receive a LEED Silver certification, a green building designation recognized worldwide. Developer Stewart considers the project pioneering. But based on its early success, he says, “We will do more like this.”


ON TREND: BOLD STATEMENTS. Residents and adult children appreciate design that stands out.
