Veranda Living is an alzheimer facility being built in Houston, Texas. 

Carlin/White Associates has designed several assisted living facilities, senior adult living facilities, and most recently, alzheimer facilities.  The design of such facilities has become a specialty of the firm, and one in which it differentiates itself from other architectural firms.

Architectural firms that specialize in this area are primarily from the institutional side of the market: designing hospitals and nursing homes.  These facilities tend to have extremely high construction costs.

What is important to our clients is that we design projects with an understanding of development, and the economics that make facilities financially successful.

When projects are not designed from that standpoint, construction costs are often inappropriately high, which has unfortunately contributed to the failure of too many facilities that might still be housing our elderly.
