Nantucket-inspired living: The facility is organized into smaller, clustered residential wings to create a familiar, home-like scale that supports community and intimacy. Exterior materials are selected for their durability against coastal salt air while maintaining an aesthetic consistent with the historic architectural vernacular of Nantucket.
Robust mechanical and electrical systems, including redundant power sources, are designed for operational continuity, ensuring resident safety and service reliability during severe weather events common to the coastal location.
Connection to nature: Large windows and thoughtful site placement maximize natural daylight and views of the surrounding environment, promoting resident comfort and health. Safe and accessible private outdoor gardens and secure gathering spaces are integrated into the design, providing residents with therapeutic access to the island's natural elements.
