SITE PLANNING/ MASSING
The existing building houses assisted living and memory care units. Wanting to expand to other care types on the property, we proposed an Independent living and skilled nursing building on the north end of the site.

The large number of easements, especially the ones in-between the existing building and the independent living building, posed a challenge to meet the project’s goals.
Being surrounded by a residential neighborhood, considerations for the scale of the buildings was important to the success of the project

Exterior Design
The project site being in the state of Colorado, we wanted the style of the building to reflect a mountain lodge aesthetic and feel.
The use of stone and dark grey metal panel give a warm yet modern appearance. To act as an accent material, the orange metal panel provides contrast and interest to areas of the façade we wanted to emphasize.
