The building sits on a slab on grade foundation that respects the protected karst geology beneath. Care was taken to provide both privacy to the clients in the treatment room, but also provide views out to the protected conservation lands outside. A treatment room includes consideration for flooring and equipment as well as a ceiling mounted patient lift to assist in client rehabilitation and fitness programs. Boasting 42 bedrooms and ensuites, communal living areas connected by amenity spaces and offices, the facility is complemented by a tangible connection to the landscape and thoughtful access to the surrounding community.
The care facility belies its formal identity to fit within the scale and persona of the residential community it which exists.
