This Senior Community incorporates retirement apartments, assisted living and skilled nursing all within a 8 acre campus filled with unique garden nodes spaced periodically along the village trail and walks. The looping trail system allows residents to meet friends at a variety of gardens including a rose garden, perennial gardens, raised plant beds and even a quick stop by at the Village Center for refreshments. Macdonald Environmental Planning was responsible for the development of the outdoor garden spaces, the trails, walkways, the Alzheimer’s courtyard and the village center café patio.

A thin, transparent bridge connection links the east and west wings, affording natural light and a view to the south terrace and the grand heritage tree which the project was planned. Greening elements include stormwater swales that treat the roof and parking lot runoff onsite.

ON THE BOARDS

As the Landscape Architects for this six-acre site, we provided drawings for a fire pit patio, putting green, reflection pond, two entry water features, and the general site landscaping. Our designs balanced the Cape Cod style architecture of the building and the native landscape of the Willamette River area.

ON THE BOARDS

This senior living project features 172 units for Independent, Assisted Living, and Memory Care.  As the Landscape Architects, we have designed the site landscaping with sustainability in mind.  Native plants were specified within the site landscaping on over four acres.  Bio-swales and detention ponds have also been incorporated into the site design to allow for maximum storm water infiltration.  Other site features include a community plaza for events; an intricate rose garden located next to the main entry driveway; and community garden for residents to produce their own vegetables and flowers.
