What We Did
Given its proximity to the Gulf Coast, we designed the building to withstand wind gusts of up to 160 mph and incorporated impact-resistant windows throughout. The exterior features Spanish Tile roofs and cement stucco wall finishes, reflecting the area's Spanish Colonial heritage. We created an enclosed interior courtyard accessible from two large Dayrooms with Porches, providing residents with a secure outdoor space for exercise and relaxation. Inside, we designed comfortable living areas, including a large Living Area with a fireplace near the Lobby and an Activity area, to promote social interaction. We also integrated a Physical Therapy area with external access, offering comprehensive rehabilitation services for both residents and outpatients.
We developed a facility that balances safety, aesthetics, and functionality.
