Best affordable seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best affordable seniors housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Addressing California’s urgent need for quality affordable housing, ANX / Aaron Neubert Architects transformed a vacant and topographically nondescript Sacramento site into the prototype for an entirely affordable housing community for the national senior housing developer, CCH. The Sage Gardens plans provide for 144 units for seniors to live and thrive in, with their new homes flooded with natural light and integrated with the landscape.
Aimed at developing a tool kit to deploy across multiple jurisdictions and site configurations, ANX created a flexible environment of planned and organic strategies that encourage health through social engagement and communion with nature. The linear low-rise site plan of stacking and interlocking modular units provides all essential support services found in a modern senior living facility, while focusing on ease of living and a fluid connection with the common areas of the site.
The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
