The building is divided into four quadrants for residents, visitors, staff, and logistic support spaces.
The quadrants are designed to work not only with the landscape design of the site, but to also provide a woven network of indoor and outdoor spaces and views that respond to the surrounding scale of residential development. This offers residents numerous opportunities within the facility to connect with family, caregivers, and the surrounding natural environment.
