Pacific Gardens Assisted Living

Santa Clara, CA

This assisted living project  features a double height, skylit entry lobby.  On-site services provide care for the physically frail residents.  About half of the 80 dwelling units are reserved for individuals suffering from Alzheimer's.

Pacific Gardens

A delightful interior courtyard is bisected by a low wall and trellis and provides security and familiarity for the residents.  The simple shed-roofed forms and familiar exterior materials are evocative of the spirit of home.
