Louis Waring, Jr. Senior Center
This program type represents a population which architects and designers will increasingly need to consider as our communities continue to age.
INTRODUCTION
Nestled in the woods on the campus of a busy suburban medical facility, the Louis Waring, Jr. Senior Center explores an architectural language of visual connectivity through a restrained and sensible structure grounded in nature. Composed of horizontal and vertical cedar siding, pine overhangs, and smooth concrete, the building’s exterior material palette extends into its interior, providing visual wayfinding cues and reinforcing the facilities main central hub.
