Meadowood executives understood seniors’ desires for a REAL
life. For this reason their new carriage home community, WestHill was conceived
as a “Community for Living” with four unique characteristics:
The Image
of Home - New residences
were designed to recreate the essence of a true home. We began by understanding the communities from
which the incoming residents were coming—older established communities like the
Chestnut Hill area of Philadelphia’s—and developed a domestic architecture language
and detailing reminiscent of those traditional
neighborhoods. Strong forms, simple materials, steep roofs and grouped windows,
The Feeling
of Connectedness -Rather than
isolating, unimaginative “boxes”, WestHill was designed as a neighborhood -- with
through-streets and front-facing homes. Mature trees were saved. Side porches face
neighbors along with shared greens and gardens to enhance the sense of
community among residents. The entire streetscape encourages human interaction.
Interiors Designed for Living -Westhill’s
design combines a distinctive exterior referencing the English Country, Arts
and Crafts style with modern interior planning. The interiors include flexible
asymmetrical floor plans, connected rooms, dramatic high ceilings, dormers, and
bay windows giving off an abundance of natural light. Light is a critical factor in the design of
senior living environments. It activates
the part of one’s brain that maintains alertness and connects us to our
surroundings.
Diversity
in Style -The WestHill
neighborhood is comprised of 4 different unit types-- with multiple add-on
options such as bay windows, dormers, chimneys and sunrooms. No two units are
alike. Each design is unique allowing
residents to maintain individuality while still relating to a community.
