Scott Edwards Architecture approached Gawron Turgeon Architects to partner on a new senior living project, Madrona Grove, for their Rose Villa location in Portland, Oregon. Madrona Grove is a new, next generation 2.5-story health center offering 32 beds in total.

The building was designed with home as the inspiration: groups of rooms will comprise their own ‘households’, two ‘households’ will comprise a neighborhood. Each of the two neighborhoods will have their own kitchen, dining, and living rooms for communal cooking, eating, and residing. Resident rooms will feature small kitchenettes, private bathrooms with walk-in shower, built-ins, and very generously sized windows and/or patios that allow residents to be wheeled out of doors in their beds to continue to enjoy nature and their natural connection to the outside.
