Faced with dated environments that were not serving residents' needs, Evenglow needed creative direction to provide the best home for their current and future residents. Their existing seven-story Lodge building was dated, occupied, and would be difficult to renovate without major disruption to residents and cash flow.
Rather than renovate, BLDD crafted a solution that could better serve each population's unique needs. A new three story 76 unit Assisted Living building was designed adjacent to Evenglow’s existing memory care community called “The Inn”. A new production kitchen now serves culinary delights for Assisted Living residents as well as the 26 existing memory care apartments.
Future phases of campus development at The Inn contemplate both ”small home” style licensed care and future independent living homes.
Assisted Living details:
- Architectural style and materials blend with existing traditional detailing at The Inn.
- Large windows designed throughout for ample natural light in resident apartments and common spaces
- Common living, gathering and amenity spaces on each floor
- 76 Resident Apartments including one bedrooms and studios
- Common living areas, piano lounge, dining room, multi-purpose room and wellnesss space
- Three stories | 66,700 s.f.
- Large windows to allow for a ton of natural sunlight
With a sculptural lighthouse structure on the southwest corner of the building that serves as a beacon of identity this established Chicago-based agency, this 1,500 s.f. addition will accompany a renovation of the existing 9,250 s.f space.
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.
Carriage Crossing Assisted Living in Arcola, Illinois is a 42,500 s.f. facility that includes 42 units for assisted living and 14 units for memory care.
