Anthology of Beaverton

Bridging Divides through Atypical Design

Located at the boundary of Washington County and Beaverton’s primary roads, Anthology of Beaverton acts as a buffer between a residential neighborhood and a commercial zone, offering a secure, inclusive environment for its aging residents. The community includes three distinct levels of care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—each with tailored spaces designed to engage and accommodate seniors’ unique needs. Shared amenities encourage interaction among residents, fostering a sense of community, while the interior design connects to Oregon’s natural landscapes, helping residents feel grounded and connected to the world outside. In all aspects, the design respects the individuality of each resident, creating a place where they can age gracefully while staying active and engaged. The site’s unique challenges—including a protected wetland, soil liquefaction, and light pollution concerns—were addressed with innovative solutions like a pile foundation to maximize space and ensure structural integrity. The building’s design separates the Assisted and Independent Living wings but connects them through shared outdoor courtyards with BBQ grills and fire pits, encouraging residents to enjoy fresh air and avoid isolation. During the pandemic, the project required cost-effective adjustments. Collaborating with the owner and contractor, we replaced expensive siding panels with lap siding for added depth, and incorporated glulam columns for structural support. Additionally, the Memory Care wing’s design included wood framing above a post-tensioned slab, increasing ceiling heights and adding more resident units to maximize care capacity. Anthology of Beaverton successfully combines thoughtful design, environmental considerations, and community-focused spaces to create a place where seniors can thrive in a connected, supportive environment.
