Best over 50s housing designs for Global Awards shortlisted

LONDON: The shortlist for the best over 50s housing design has been declared.

The fastest growing segment in over 50s housing is integrated care communities.

Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

Clover Bar Lodge in Sherwood Park is a new construction seniors’ lodge project. The project includes a new four-storey, 144-unit care facility with a scooter storage building and fully landscaped site. The facility has a single bachelor suite design for ease of client use. There are a number of amenity spaces including multipurpose rooms, activity rooms, a second floor patio, hair salon, coffee bistro, resident laundry rooms, commercial kitchen, commercial laundry, therapeutic tub room, and dining areas on each floor. Bright colours were chosen for the exterior to complement the Sherwood Park neighbourhood. Fibre cement board was chosen for the majority of the exterior finish as a cost effective and durable solution. This is a Design-Build project we are undertaking with Shunda Consulting & Construction. Project is currently in the Construction Documents phase. The completion target is January of 2021.

The Global Award winner will be announced in June in London. (Globals)
