Giving Senior Housing its due.
We partnered with Stephen Tise, AIA to design a 50-unit apartment complex for seniors to be built by the Housing Authority of New Haven at 34 Level St, in the West Rock neighborhood of New Haven, CT.
With a thoughtful blend of innovation, empathy, and practical design strategies, our program provides modest yet service-rich housing for very low-income seniors, highlighting the importance of designing spaces that adapt to the evolving needs of its residents. Through the utilization of vast expertise and forward-thinking approaches, this project will establish a community that addresses both the physical and security needs of its inhabitants, while also nurturing a supportive and stimulating setting for its elderly tenants.
The complex, which is funded in part by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 202 program will be an entirely electrified affordable senior apartment complex with the following eco-friendly features:
• Creating an enhanced, energy efficient building enclosure.
• Energy Star appliances and HVAC equipment to minimize utility use and cost.
• Electric vehicle charging stations to encourage electric vehicle use.
• A 4,000 square-foot rooftop photovoltaic array to reduce dependency on the grid and to save resident utility expenses.
• Full building electrification.
