Aegis Living Bellevue Overlake

Modern Mediterranean Luxury

Inspired by the nearby Bellevue Botanical Gardens, our design for Aegis Living Bellevue Overlake incorporates a biophilic approach from the very beginning. This principle fosters a strong connection between residents, the indoors, and the outdoors, and is woven into every aspect of the building’s design. Drawing inspiration from luxurious Mediterranean resorts, we focused on creating a timeless, inviting base palette, using warm materials, framed views, and abundant natural light from large arched windows. A central feature of the design is the building’s wraparound courtyard, referred to as the “exterior living room.” This private outdoor space is visible from nearly every amenity, with large Mediterranean-style windows enhancing the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas. The addition of a stunning “glass jewel box” conservatory serves as a focal gathering space, while the second floor houses a greenhouse experience designed for memory care residents, offering them a safe, stimulating environment. Throughout the building, exterior finishes and plantings flow seamlessly inside, blurring the boundaries between the two spaces and enhancing the biophilic experience. We kept our design responsive to market trends, adapting to a shift toward smaller studio and one-bedroom units. Collaborating with the general contractor, we reallocated square footage to create four additional units, ensuring the design met current demand without sacrificing the overall vision. Solar panels and energy-efficient features were incorporated, going beyond basic code requirements to ensure the building’s environmental impact is minimized. With its thoughtful design and connection to nature, Aegis Living Bellevue Overlake stands as a celebration of both natural beauty and sustainable living.
