Trail Seniors Residence

Multi-family

Trail, British Columbia

Design Requirements

Located in Trail, British Columbia, this senior housing development is designed as a thoughtfully planned residential community that blends comfort, accessibility, and natural beauty. The development will encompass approximately 60,000 square feet and include 45 residential units, offering a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts to accommodate a range of living preferences and needs. At the heart of the building will be a shared public amenity space designed to encourage social interaction, recreation, and community engagement among residents. This common area will provide opportunities for gatherings, wellness activities, and everyday connection, supporting an active and fulfilling lifestyle for seniors.

The architecture embraces the natural slope of the site, integrating the building into the steep, rocky terrain while maximizing views and natural light. Inspired by contemporary mountain design, the residence reflects the character of the surrounding Kootenay region with materials and forms that harmonize with the landscape. Large windows and carefully positioned outdoor areas allow residents to enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. By embedding the structure within the site, the project creates a tranquil retreat that balances modern living with the beauty of nature while providing a safe, supportive environment for aging in place.
