Cedar on Collins | Kennedy Associates Architects

Cedar on Collins, a senior’s development by Fresh Hope Communities, designed by Kennedy Associates, represents Fresh Hope’s core values of Kindness, Connection, Optimism and Integrity.

These values underscore KAA’s design, delivering 56 units, 5 communal areas, 4 roof terraces and 4 activity rooms that harmoniously balance individuality with community, and calmness with activity.

The heart of the development is the central space, 3 interconnecting courtyards supporting the community through the interplay of built form with private and communal space.

Earth toned bricks, the excavated rock strata, characterize the lower levels.

A covered walkway integrates wayfinding, buildings, courtyards and common rooms.

Irregularly placed columns define the walkway, support the grey toned upper storey and provide intimate recesses along the journey.

Over 50% of the site is communal open space or landscaped area.

The client, in their response to the design, said.

“Through its intelligent design, the built form feels like home”.
