Monteverde Senior Housing

Project Location:  Orinda, CA

Client:  Eden Housing

Description: 

Located on the former site of the Orinda Public Library, the community consists of 67 homes to seniors.

The landscape design emphasized preservation of the existing perimeter trees and naturalized plantings and creating strong connections between the site and the surrounding community. Community gardens are emphasized in the main courtyard and conversation areas allow for informal seating and views to surrounding hills. A water conserving, deer resistant plant palette provides year round interest.

The community is located a short distance from Orinda’s downtown area with easy access to the Orinda Community Park, Community Center, and new Public Library, as well as near services, a major grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants, retail stores, and the nearby BART shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities.
