This Senior-Living Community Features a 2-Story Library
2022 Best of Year Awards Winner for Senior Living
Aging is worth celebrating. That sentiment is on full display at the 260,000-square-foot, 209-unit San Francisco campus of Coterie, a senior-living community by Handel Architects and MAWD featuring such sterling amenities as a two-story library curated by independent bookstore McNally Jackson. Brass and silver travertine accents and 9-foot ceilings imbue a sense of casual luxury. “We took the time to research our residents—who they are and what they’re passionate about, like rich cultural experiences, lifelong learning, and social activities,” says MAWD cofounder Elliot March, whose team also customized accessible and safe items throughout, like herringbone hardwood flooring inset with custom carpet that allows for unfettered mobility through the common spaces.
