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
The sprawling four-story, 138-unit facility offers independent living, assisted living and memory care. Residents can enjoy all the amenities of home and beyond, including a fitness center, salon, recreation room, underground parking, dining rooms and a coffee/ice cream shop.
Monarch Landing wanted to turn their tired, cafeteria-like cafe into a dynamic and fresh bistro environment, while finding efficiencies during the design process to better serve their residents and staff. The 124 seats can be arranged within a variety of settings which include the large main dining area, a more intimate banquet seating area, and the “pub,” which can be closed off with large barn doors for a private space or resident events.
The project consists of interior remodeling of common spaces including dining, serving, activity, office, support, corridor and living spaces. The project also includes the relocation of the main entrance which includes a new vestibule addition.
