Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best retirement 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.
The development application proposed the demolition of the existing homes and the construction of a seniors housing development with eight units and basement car parking for 19 cars.
The ground floor will have four three-bedroom units opening onto gardens with roof terraces. There will be plunge pools within three of the four units’ gardens.
The first level will have another four three-bedroom units.
As the area is zoned R2 Low Density Residential, the maximum height is 8.5m; however, as this is seniors housing, the maximum height is 9.5m, which the building falls within.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
