Designed for comfort, connection, and quality of life

Creekstone Long-Term Care Facility is designed to meet the specific and evolving needs of seniors requiring specialized care. This 180-unit facility provides accessible housing equipped with bariatric capabilities, ensuring spaces accommodate mobility aids and other physical requirements of aging residents. Thoughtfully designed community areas, including a rooftop patio, games room, and dining hall, support social connection, activity, and quality of life, reflecting the fundamental importance of communal spaces in senior living environments.

Designed to LEED standards, the exterior employs a layered material palette including metal panel, Hardie panel, brick, glass curtain wall, and integrated sun shading that enhances energy performance. These materials balance visual appeal with functional durability, creating a residential character while delivering abundant natural light to beautifully appointed common areas. The sun shading system reduces solar heat gain and glare while preserving views and daylight access, supporting resident comfort and wellbeing. Through strategic material selection and careful attention to both the physical and social needs of seniors, this project demonstrates how long-term care facilities can provide dignified, sustainable housing that integrates respectfully into the urban fabric.
