Sitting vacant and incomplete since 2009, a multifamily
complex connected to a public library
provided the opportunity to create Verena at
Hilliard-a luxury senior living community that
emphasizes the importance of connectivity to
inspire people to live fully and independently.
Leading the revitalization effort at the peak of
the COVID-19 pandemic, the design team upgraded
and modernized the residential units that
were in various stages of completion, renovated
the exterior and interior spaces of the existing
150-unit residential building, and designed a new
9,000-square-foot clubhouse addition.
The prairie-inspired design of the existing
building featured horizontal lines and a low-slung
roof were carried through in the architecture of
the clubhouse addition. That serves as the new
face and social hub for the entire community. The
décor puts a modern twist on familiar, traditional
elements by infusing color, texture, art and a
combination of Craftsman and industrial details.
The team transformed existing areas and added
new spaces to offer desirable amenities, including
gathering areas, dining options, wellness-focused
spaces, attractive outdoor areas, and a unique
feature-a juice bar with a hydroponic garden. A
notable amenity of the existing building is direct
interior access to the Hilliard branch of the Columbus
Metropolitan Library.
This project is a success story in efficiently
and effectively repositioning an existing development
into a unique independent living option.
Every design decision was meant to create an
approachable and fresh community-an environment
that promotes activity and inspires residents
to embrace this next chapter of their lives.
