SVA Architects’ design for the Twin Oaks Senior Residence Mixed-Use Project was inspired by the regional architecture, including City Hall, the downtown plaza, and Fire Station 51. The Spanish-revival style development will feature a red tiled roof, white and earth-tone stucco, and stone veneer. The project consists of 98 one-bedroom and 32 two-bedroom units for people age 62 and older, with rents at 50-80 percent of the area median income. Resident amenities will include a clubhouse, library, fitness center, conference and storage rooms, laundry facilities, pool with cabanas, spa, BBQs, shuffle board, bocce court, and vegetable garden. The project will also include 5,667 sq. ft. of commercial space, 188 parking spaces, and over 63,000 sq. ft. of open space on the 5.85-acre site.
Ernesto M. Vasquez, FAIA, CEO of SVA Architects, states, “We’re so pleased to partner with Highridge Costa Development, designing a much-needed Affordable Independent Senior Housing community for the East Bay Region. We couldn’t be prouder of this national partnership and our progress delivering affordability.”
