Senior Living

Our design expertise revolves around rigorous planning and a design delivery process focused on building system cost-benefit analysis and product selection. We work with our clients to define their goals and vision, and through a research-based approach, we help them fully realize that vision.

By designing holistically from the “inside-out,” we generate design solutions that maximize value and return on investment, while enriching lives and strengthening communities.

SERVICE ENHANCED (IL, AL, MC)
Providing a full continuum of care, whether stand-alone building or blended community

ACTIVE ADULT
Age-restricted resort-style amenity living with a focus on an active and vibrant lifestyle and services to match.

AFFORDABLE
Projects receiving state and federal financing with design features to promote community building.

MISSING MIDDLE
Providing a market-rate living experience for seniors with incomes falling between affordable and luxury living to meet a growing niche in the senior market.

VISION & BRANDING
We create projects that fit their place – urban, suburban, and rural – delivering work that provides a great experience from six blocks away, to the drop-off space, to the lobby, to a well-appointed outdoor courtyard space, and more.

STATE CODES & CONSTRUCTION TYPES
BKV has vast national experience, bringing value to the design of senior projects by focusing on building codes, accessibility, and construction types, and selecting the ideal construction material for the right location to save substantial dollars.

WOOD, STEEL STUD, & CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION
We have the versatility and experience to construct buildings using wood, steel stud, and concrete, yielding maximum value for the owner within the design while comprehensively reviewing codes and construction types.

STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS & NFPA 101
Licensed senior housing is a specialized market segment, and requires expertise to get projects appropriately designed and completed. Early in the design process, we meet with State Health Departments and review the project concept plans to ensure the design and process meet states codes and NFPA 101, when required.
