Environments for Aging - Winter 2022 - 28

Madrona Grove has many resident
amenity spaces such as a cozy den
and an arts and crafts room. The color
palette for each floor is influenced by
the Oregon landscape, including coastline-inspired
colors on the first floor.

and kitchenettes and built-in window seats.
Some units on the first floor feature large French
doors that open up to landscaped outdoor spaces.
An administrative wing was placed on the
third floor to keep residents closer to the ground
level where they can have easy access outside,
Gordon says. The set-up also enabled the project
team to create terraces on three sides of the top
floor space to provide staff with plenty of outdoor
space and wide views.
The layout provided an opportunity to create
connections, too, both among residents as well
as the community at large. At Schroeder Lofts,
the first floor is dedicated to amenity spaces including
a recreation room (with a small teaching
kitchen, game room, and lounge area with a fireplace),
a room for the sewing and quilting club,
and a resale shop that's run by residents. " Not
only are the common spaces open to campus, but
a lot of them are also open to the public, " Gordon
says. " So trying to have as much of that be on the
ground floor as possible was really critical. "
Through the building's massing, achieved
through various setbacks, the design team also
created an outdoor arcade and elevated sidewalk
that runs along the front. " It creates this sort of
elevated pedestrian street, and that's how you

access all these common amenities, " Gordon
says. On the north end is childcare, including
a two-classroom preschool, which was part
of the master plan. " The benefit to residents of
consistent, meaningful intergenerational interaction
includes less depression, less morbidity,
and a longer life, " Byrd adds. The preschool's
outdoor play area wraps around the back and is
visible to residents of Madrona Grove from the
living rooms. Additionally, Madrona Grove Garden,
also in the shared courtyard area, is a place
where residents can visit with the children. " It's
just this great gathering space where people of
all different ages can interact, " Byrd says.
New life
For now, Phase 3 will serve as the close to Rose
Villa's redevelopment. " We have brought to
fruition a new way of living for seniors, " Byrd
says. " One that honors their independence and
desire to live their values. I believe Rose Villa is
changing the face of aging and what it means to
live in community. "
