Spotlight Project…
Laurel Manor Modular Senior Living | Vancouver, WA
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) provided full schematic design and pricing documents for Laurel Manor, a four-story modular senior living community designed to support dignity, independence, and meaningful social engagement for aging residents.
The layout prioritizes wellness through co-located common areas for dining, games, and social interaction; private outdoor patios and walkable paths that encourage movement; and transit-oriented siting that supports independence without reliance on personal vehicles. All one-bedroom units are ADA-compliant and designed for aging in place. More than meeting code, the project reinforces a warm, non-institutional atmosphere through residential materials and consistent modular components, demonstrating JMA’s ability to balance comfort, cost efficiency, and a deep understanding of seniors’ physical and emotional needs.
