The assisted living wing of the House of Respect Elders Center capitalizes on the views to the existing Spirit Garden designed by Landscape Architect Gail Staeger, while making seamless connections the House of Respect and the varied grades surrounding the site. Care is was taken to design this supportive environment to maximize the accessibility of the site, create an intimate outdoor patio for residents and provide therapeutic views to nature from each room. Cost savings was of key importance to our client.
