Classic Residence By Hyatt
Classic Residence by Hyatt is a 700,000 square-foot
continuing-care community located near Stanford
University, offering senior residents access to many
cultural, medical, and community resources. Outdoor
garden spaces were designed to create a strong
social community that encourages residents to take
advantage of outdoor trails and gardens.
The project, built on an existing brownfield site, was
designed to preserve hundreds of oaks and redwoods
and the environmentally sensitive rare native plants and
wildlife habitat, including some endangered species.
Drought-tolerant native plants were propagated from
original local seedlings and planted into the site to
preserve native plant life. Rain gardens were designed
to recharge 90 percent of the ground water, filtering
runoff before it enters the environmentally sensitive San
Francisquito Creek. Recycled local materials, including
gravel from the site’s former roads, were also used.
