Responding to the owner’s desire to retain the old family barn, SGS creatively integrated the renovated barn into the new structure. The barn houses recreational and social gathering areas, dining rooms, and kitchen facilities.
Located on a hill overlooking a pond and scenic countryside, this 70,000 square foot facility provides assisted living accommodations for residents in 95 studio suites.
To promote interaction among the residents, well-appointed lounge areas are located throughout
the facility.
Positioning the building on the extremely steep slope of the site presented challenges, which were solved by designing a three-story structure with the main entrance at the second level. The solution also included extensive use of beautiful masonry, interlocking block retaining walls.
