Senior Housing

Our involvement in designing the outdoor living spaces and garden areas has run over twenty years. Since the beginning we have felt that it was very important to incorporate garden elements that will reinforce the residents ability to participate in gardening activities such as strolling, working in the raised beds, observation of nature bird in feeders or bird baths or just seeing the seasonal change nature brings to the plantings. We understand the important healing aspects that access to nature can bring to residents, visitors, and care givers.
As the surge of silent generation retirees and the baby boomers continue to move toward retirement age, we continue to evolve in our design philosophy to keep up with the most recent environmental research.

Please, take a look at our featured senior housing projects:

Green Building

Sustainability is like a thread that is woven through all of our work as we feel that a careful balance between the built environment and nature is essential to successful project outcomes that will endure the test of time. In pursuit of this philosophy, we embrace many sustainable design elements such as green streets, living green screens and walls, ecoroofs and green roofs and soft storm water treatment solutions. Other sustainable components found in our housing projects are community gardens, centralized gathering plazas, and live work elements.

In designing landscape for housing projects, Macdonald Environmental Planning, PC, is:

  • Maximizing the sustainability of the site
  • Creating aesthetically appropriate and maintainable landscapes for each housing type
  • Using native plantings
  • Maximizing Community Gathering Areas including Courtyards, Garden Plots
  • Installing water efficient irrigation
