How do we efficiently accommodate a long, narrow and sloped site?
Our design team utilized existing grade to create a windowless infrastructure and storage space, and implemented two access drives to discreetly separate Independent and Assisted Living entry points.
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.
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.
Faced with dated environments that were not serving a range of the residents' needs, Evenglow needed direction for creating the best home for their assisted living and independent living residents. Their existing seven-story Lodge building was occupied and would be difficult to renovate without going over budget and disrupting residents.
