What We Did

We developed a single-story, 34-apartment facility that seamlessly blends comfort with care. Originally designed for 16 units with expansion capability, we adapted the plans to 34 units before completion, demonstrating our flexibility and foresight in meeting changing client needs. The central core of the building houses a variety of amenities designed to enhance residents' quality of life, including a spacious dining room for communal meals, a cozy sitting room for relaxation and socializing, a vibrant living room for group activities, and an engaging activity room for organized events. To further enrich the living experience, we incorporated a family room for private dining and parties, a salon for personal grooming and pampering, a convenient mailroom for easy communication, a resident tech center to keep seniors connected, and a home theatre room for entertainment. Each of these common areas opens onto covered patios, which in turn overlook a beautifully landscaped enclosed courtyard. This design creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, encouraging residents to enjoy fresh air and nature. The 600 sq ft apartments are thoughtfully designed to promote independence while ensuring safety. Each unit features a kitchenette with a walk-in pantry, upper and lower cabinetry, sink, microwave, and refrigerator. The open-plan layout connects the kitchenette to a dining area and living room, creating a spacious feel. A standout feature is the glazed door that leads from the living room to a private covered patio, allowing residents to have their own outdoor space.
