In order to create an updated and more private recovery environment for short-term stay patients, Covenant Living of Northbrook undertook the delicate task of separating long-term resident living spaces from short-term patient areas.
The short-term stay dining room was remodeled to reflect a more hospitality-like atmosphere and the physical therapy gym was expanded. Also, to ensure long-term care residents feel “at home,” their dining/activities room were renovated to include more intimate, residential aesthetics, and a new central family room space was created by capturing former office and clean linen rooms and opening them up to the corridor.
- Remodeled Physical Therapy Gym
- Remodeled Short-Term Stay Dining Room
- Central Family Room Addition
- Personal touches make the family room feel warm, familiar and comfortable
- Accessories like old yearbooks and coffee table picture books so residents can reminisce
Needed to transform tight institutional spaces to create comfortable residential areas.
Utilized existing corridor as informal socialization area.
Sedgebrook operated both a formal dining venue as well as a "café" dining area. The café had become outdated and was transformed into a Bistro and Pub, providing new dining environments along with a refreshed menu.
Walnut Court is an existing 30 year old two story residential building with 40 apartments located on the southwest section of the Covenant Village of Northbrook campus. The building houses Independent Living residents, and includes a mix of studio, one and two bedroom apartments.
As an extension to the Carriage Crossing Senior Living (CCSL) Rochester community, BLDD was commissioned to design a townhome/cottage master plan. The project is built on a 3.17-acre site that consists of 14 one-story cottage quadplexes, triplexes and duplexes.
