Monarch Landing, a senior living development located in Naperville, Illinois commissioned BLDD to renovate their existing formal dining space into a modern restaurant experience. The main design goal was to create a more intimate dining experience while remaining flexible and open for larger events. Addressing acoustics, lighting, and traffic flow were also high priorities along with new interior finishes.
The final solution “divides” the space into three separate zones through changes in floor materials, lowered ceiling elements, and the use of transparent decorative screens. It remains flexible and easily unified for larger events such as movie night or other activities.

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.
Situated on 6.7 acres of rolling countryside adjacent a bustling commercial corridor, the Landings 142-unit Senior Living campus offers Batavia and surrounding communities a variety of lifestyle options. The building provides distinguished entrances for both Independent Living and Assisted/Memory Care residents.
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.
