Atlantic Inclusionary Senior Housing

This 500-unit development uses varied massing and materiality to reduce the project’s scale. This allows the residents of the building to recognize their own place within the project. The mixture of supportive/senior housing and market-rate units over the 18 stories are subdivided into three 6 story sections articulated through various green spaces related to the apartment types.The first six stories are senior housing with access to a greenhouse space that mediates the traffic noise and a courtyard space that includes the senior amenities and a FRESH grocery store. The other sections have a wider mix of unit types, many with their own wintergardens. The top six floors are linked by vertical farms that are adjacent to shared spaces on each floor.The building is clad with golden yellow metal paneling with varying degrees of perforation that also acts as solar shading, creating a constantly changing surface in the light.
