ANX / AARON NEUBERT ARCHITECTS
The award-winning Los Angeles based practice , known for creating beautifully crafted and sustainable architecture , takes on the affordable senior housing market .
Addressing California ’ s urgent need for quality affordable housing , ANX / Aaron Neubert Architects transformed a vacant and topographically nondescript Sacramento site into the prototype for an entirely affordable housing community for the national senior housing developer , CCH . The plans provide for 144 units for seniors to live and thrive in , with their new homes flooded with natural light and integrated with the landscape .
Aimed at developing a tool kit to deploy across multiple jurisdictions and site configurations , ANX created a flexible environment of planned and organic strategies that encourage health through social engagement and communion with nature . The linear low-rise site plan of stacking and interlocking modular units provides all essential support services found in a modern senior living facility , while focusing on ease of living and a fluid connection with the common areas of the site .
