Faced with dated environments that were not serving a range of the residents' needs, Evenglow needed direction for creating the best home for their assisted living and independent living residents. Their existing seven-story Lodge building was occupied and would be difficult to renovate without going over budget and disrupting residents. 
​
Rather than renovate their existing building, solutions were designed that could better serve each population's unique needs. Independent Living spaces will be situated in a new apartment-style building in the heart of town. As a part of the independent living building, a link to the Health Center will accommodate a multipurpose worship space, physical therapy / wellness and fitness spaces, and a new commercial production kitchen.​

Assisted Living residents will be moved to a new building on Evenglow's 35-acre parcel in Pontiac. Along with apartments, the new spaces will include common living areas, a piano lounge, dining room, multi-purpose room, and wellness space.
The best interest of residents was the top priority for creating this master plan repositioning at Evenglow Lodge.

Details that make a difference.

Assisted Living:
  • Blends with the existing Evenglow Inn which has a traditional, Colonial feel
  • Cladding includes a brick skirt with lap siding above, and large windows throughout to let ample natural light into the resident apartments
  • Window detailing, corner boards, and hip and gabled rooflines reinforce the traditional design

Independent Living: 
  • Features a contemporary look, respecting the surrounding residential neighborhood.
  • Cladding includes a brick base with residential style lap siding above, accented with a wood-look lap siding in key areas to provide warmth and texture
  • Balcony expressions create unique, architectural features on the façade.
