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
In the heart of an established senior living community, BLDD Architects transformed a challenging site into a state-of-the-art aquatic facility that complements the existing architecture. This 3,900-square-foot addition, enhanced by 1,470 square feet of strategic renovations, demonstrates how thoughtful design can maximize limited space while delivering premium amenities.
The Three Crowns Park dining room project, completed in 2024, transformed a formal dining room and bistro into a vibrant space. The design team faced a unique challenge: how to create an exciting, contemporary atmosphere while maintaining excellent acoustics—particularly tricky after removing sound-absorbing elements like carpeting and tablecloths.
When tasked with transforming an existing senior living facility while it remained fully operational, our team faced a unique set of challenges. But this wasn't just another renovation project – it was about creating a space where memories could be treasured.
