Channing House Health Care Center, Palo Alto

Channing House is a market-rate senior housing community in downtown Palo Alto. HKIT Architects was first retained to evaluate the original modernist 1960s building. The evaluation resulted in a multi-phased project including significant interior upgrades and improvements to the original building and wellness center. A brand new health care center contains one floor dedicated to assisted living, focused on the contemporary ideas of aging-in-place, and a new skilled nursing wing, committed to allowing residents more privacy. Renovations to the existing building included new wood acoustical panels adding texture and interest to ceilings, as well as upgraded electrical systems to provide multi-level lighting for a variety of tasks. A palette of warm neutrals, soft greens, and blues throughout most of the rooms allows pops of red to brighten public areas.

Location: Palo Alto, CA

Size: 150 units (original building) 27 units (ALF); 26 units (SNF)

Total Gross Building Area: 140,000 sf (original building) 32,412 sf (new Health Care Center)

Completion Date: 2015

Owner: Channing House
