The long building façade along Jerome Avenue is subdivided into a series of contrasting bays of brick and EIFS that along with the setbacks complement the scale of the existing houses in the neighborhood. The building design allows for the community as well as the residents to take full advantage of the building’s resources. The Cellar has multiple community rooms for technology classes and programming and the first floor community room opens out to the rear yard. The adjoining parking lot is designed with features to allow it to host barbecues and outdoor events for the residents and surrounding community. The outdoor spaces have been designed to provide distinct experiences; a secluded gazebo area allows for introspection, a walking path and larger seating areas create the opportunity for interconnectivity and community development among the tenants, and garden plots for use by the seniors to grow vegetables or flowers.
