Surrounded by single-family homes, Aegis Living Greenwood ties itself to the context of the surrounding neighborhood by embracing a Tudor-inspired design. Split into different sections, the building’s architecture softens the approach, while its materiality – utilizing brick, stone, and stucco – reinforces the quaint aesthetic of the neighborhood’s Tudor style. Located on a sloped site, parts of the ground floor gradually disappear beneath the sidewalk. Challenged to filter as much natural light as possible into the subterranean sections of the first floor, large windows cover the side of the structure to maximize daylight within. A skylight on the second floor brings additional sunlight into the corridors, living spaces, and dining room of the senior living community. Although external amenity space is limited, Aegis Living Greenwood offers residents two outdoor areas for recreation and relaxation. The second story Memory Care Garden holds a green roof, gazebo, seating areas, and a decorative automobile for residents to interact with, as well as the bubble skylight that helps illuminate interior spaces. On the top floor, there’s a rooftop deck connected to the Sky Lounge that provides fresh air and scenic views of North Seattle. As a large structure with a unique footprint that blends into the surrounding community, Aegis Living Greenwood stands as a timeless residence, uniting local Tudor charm with contemporary elegance.
