Description:

King’s debut in the affordable housing arena is this Best of Senior Housing national award winner, Bernardin Manor Senior Center and Independent Senior Living. The facility exceeds expectations for providing affordable housing for the elderly.

This design surpasses the requirements of competent practice through King’s skillful negotiation of cost containment and community concerns and through logical planning and innovative programming.

The result is public and private spaces that not only serve their function but also elevate the spirit. Bernardin Manor provides a sense of place, home, and community through spatial volumes, the use of common materials and simple but consistent detailing throughout the building.
