This garden community, origi-

nally opened in 1960, faced several

challenges contributing to declin-

ing occupancy. Known for its lush

landscaping and relaxed lifestyle,

the campus consisted of linear,

one-story garden apartments that

no longer met consumer expecta-

tions. Navigating the steep 22-acre

hillside site was challenging for

existing residents and daunting for

those considering the community.

The first phase of gradual

of all 263 units (some of which had

been converted to non-resident

uses) introduced pocket neighbor-

hoods organized around gardens

stepping down the hillside. Each

pocket neighborhood is composed

of seven cottage homes overlook-

ing an intimate courtyard. The

result creates smaller, pedestrian-

friendly neighborhoods within the

larger community, which capitalize

on garden connections and out-

door views. The “over-under” cot-

tages in each pocket neighborhood

maximize site utilization while

providing compact floor plans

that are sized to be affordable, yet

maintain open living spaces with

views in multiple directions.

The pocket neighborhoods

transition up to a new Main Street

with resident amenities at street

level and loft apartments on floors

above. The loft apartments provide

a residential option for consumers

who prefer downtown living with

interior connection to common

spaces. Situated at the highest

point of the site overlooking the

Willamette River, Main Street

provides a unique and appealing

first impression of the campus, as

well as reinforcing a sense of place

within the larger community.

The Town Center is located

directly off the main public road

and provides a curb-free Main

Street/Plaza that can be closed off

Rockwood Retirement Communities, The Summit SPOKANE, WASH.

Submitted by: Perkins Eastman SAN FRANCISCO

CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

Rockwood Retirement Communities wanted an innovative home for their older adult residents that deeply connects them to the natural world from within an environment that offers improved amenities and living spaces. Using biophilic design to illuminate and support the seven dimen-sions of wellness, the Summit and Ridge towers now offer the opportunity for a healthy, productive lifestyle in a LEED-Silver certified building.

The site, with views of distant mountains and nearby pine forests from its location atop a butte, had an existing community with two living options: the estate homes and The Ridge, a high-rise building with undersized apartments, sparse amenities, and poor energy performance. The design team initiated a two-strategy approach for repositioning: 1) Build a new tower, the Summit, with 65 larger independent living apartments ranging from 900-2,200 square feet,

and 2) Add an expanded first-floor community space focused on wellness, while tying the existing Ridge with the new Summit and orienting it toward the estate homes to create a cohesive, connected com-munity.

A major feature of the addition is the circulation connecting The Ridge to The Summit. The Riverwalk is a curvilinear path of discovery winding through an array of new amenity spaces. The materials palette reflects natural colors

and textures drawn from Rockwood’s surroundings. Ample windows and clere-story openings repeatedly frame views of the woods and sky following biophilic principles. The Riverwalk’s four new dining venues offer choice in their varied design, operating hours, and menus. Other amenities in-clude a grand ballroom, an art studio, cinema, library, lounge, and a wellness cen-ter with an aerobics studio, fitness equipment, beauty salon, and spa.

Submission ProcessUpon receipt of your reservation form, you will receive a submission guide and template for preparing your electronic presentation. Your presentation must include a project narrative, images, floor plans, and responses to jury questions. Your firm name must not appear within your presentation. If your project is accepted by the jury for publication, you will receive instructions for supplying the remainder of your publication materials (print-quality images, firm details, project team members, facility contact information, etc.).

Acceptance of ProjectsProjects will be evaluated on four criteria:

InnovationHow did the team explore innovative solutions that were specific to the project? If technology was part of the process, how was it incorporated and what were the outcomes? Did these efforts impact quality of care or quality of life for residents? Did the innovations influence the business model?

CollaborationHow did the project team collaborate with residents, staff, family, and the community to achieve project goals?

AestheticsImages should support the narrative and provide jurors with a complete picture of the resident experience, illustrating how the design helps improve quality of life.

Operational performance What were the desired outcomes the project team was trying to achieve and the end result (e.g., operational performance improvements, resident-centered care, operational flow)?

The Cottage at Cypress Cove FORT MYERS, FLA.

Submitted by: SFCS Architects ROANOKE, VA., AND GMK Associates Inc. COLUMBIA, S.C.

MEMORY CARE

The Cottage at Cypress Cove is a new memory care assisted living residence that specifically caters to residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related conditions.

The initial goal of the project was to develop of a visionary environment, program, and operation utilizing comprehensive best practices and research. The 39,533-square-foot, two-story cottage establishes a neighborhood of 44 private residential apartments with four separate smaller households that accommodate 11 residents. Each household is designed with a different distinct aesthetic authentic to the Southwest Florida area.

On the exterior, the building matches the aesthetic style of the existing campus, and is designed around a specialty sensory and activity courtyard, which is accessible from all households and provides a safe and enriching outdoor extension.

The project was developed based on factors such as a collaboratively developed Project Guiding Principles document, various site constraints, program requirements, owner, resident, and family feedback, site visits to other innovative programs and environments, best practices in household design, outdoor spaces, and code requirements. The project team is an integrated

and highly diverse group of design professionals including two internationally recognized leaders in the field of environments for seniors with dementia.

Historically, most memory care environments have been designed and operated to contain those affected by the disease, with the overriding focus primarily on safety and security. In contrast, we wanted to create a home for residents and their families that actively addresses many of the symptoms and side effects of dementia-related diseases.

The project team envisioned a therapeutic environment and program that actually treats the symptoms of the disease while creating a familiar, comfortable home. Drawing on significant prior and developing research on many memory care design elements, including small house design, artificial lighting, natural light, access to the outdoors, privacy, wayfinding/visual cueing, color, and spatial theories, the overarching goal simply was to create the best memory care small house in the
