This striking residential development offers 92 affordable units for seniors, thoughtfully designed to blend contemporary urban architecture with the tranquility of nature. Located adjacent to the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., the building provides a serene and dignified living environment for older adults, with direct access to one of the city's most cherished green spaces.

The building’s modern design features a facade composed of tan, gray, and red tones, highlighted by a vertical panel of varied neutral shades that adds visual interest and sophistication. Large windows throughout the structure flood the interiors with natural light and offer scenic views of the Arboretum and surrounding neighborhood. Mature trees and landscaped greenery surround the site, creating a peaceful atmosphere that encourages wellness and outdoor activity.

This project represents a commitment to inclusive, sustainable urban development. By combining affordability, accessibility, and proximity to nature, it creates a vibrant community where seniors can live independently, engage socially, and enjoy the restorative benefits of the Arboretum’s natural beauty.

Funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the project reflects a strong public commitment to housing equity and environmental stewardship. It is designed and constructed to meet rigorous Passive House certification standards, ensuring exceptional energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and thermal comfort for residents. This high-performance building reduces utility costs and environmental impact while enhancing long-term sustainability.
