Elkton Senior was designed to make use of an infill site within the Elkton downtown corridor – offering senior residents a walkable community and local merchants an increased customer base. The project features a three-story, south-facing entrance lobby that directs daily activity and eyes directly onto High Street. Externally, the space is wrapped with sun-shading elements including a vegetative roof, brise soleil, balcony, and porch; and internally with community activity spaces dedicated to fitness, arts and crafts, billiards, and computers. A living green wall extends vertically through the space. This building is now the de facto center of senior activity in the city of Elkton, and a shining example of HD’s commitment to fostering community through thoughtful design.
