Craig Gardens

Affordable Senior Housing

Built especially for seniors, Craig Gardens in the city of Campbell provides easy wayfinding, centralized services, and a drop-off loop with a port de cochere. Also prioritized was ample storage space in the dwelling units, as seniors who are downsizing so have a lot of things. Interior spaces include a computer learning center and community rooms for private events. The four-story glazed lobby set against a wood slat wrapped elevator brings warmth into the core, lending distinction and identity to the lofted space. The v-shaped building form responds to its oddly shaped lot, leaving a vibrant, protected courtyard and community garden protected from the road.

The building is located on an urban edge of a vibrant neighborhood. With a WalkScore of 85, the location ample Amenities in walking distance, such as Walgreens and the Lunardi’s grocery store. The building is a nod to the agrarian past of the Silicon Valley; two double loaded corridors extend from an anchoring “silo,” accompanied by roof turrets with lighting in them. The combination of design elements with familiar and local materials give the development a prominent and dynamic character and a strong anchor for future development in the area.
