JJ Carroll Redevelopment
Our studio recently completed Construction Drawings for the JJ Carroll redevelopment in Brighton, Massachusetts. Partnering with 2Life Communities, our client, our team developed a robust play program that will serve as a dynamic exercise and social space for seniors, their grandkids, and the local community.?
Our client¡¯s ongoing mission to provide affordable housing for low-income aging adults gave our team the drive to dig in and ask, ¡°what is multi-generational play, and how can it serve all community members?¡± Through research and outreach we developed a fully accessible design that will activate the mind, body, and spirit. The playscape design was completed in a series of phases. Each phase responding to feedback from the client, their staff, and local community representatives. After several iterations we landed on a design that focuses on art, music, gardening, and meditation: some of the most popular activities within the community.?
When finished, the gardens will be a fully dedicated multi-generational playground. 2Life, their community, and the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) are excited about the project and showed strong support throughout the public process, even heralding it as ¡°a precedent for the future of senior housing design!¡±
