Quail Park in Visalia California offers Independent Living, Assisted Living and Special Needs services in separate buildings on a single campus. Cottages for independent living are designed to have traditional street appeal as well as a private pedestrian link, "Quail Lane", to the shared amenities of the larger community. The assisted living building located on the corner reinforces the street fabric and creates an internal courtyard, a calm and shady destination for the residents. The Special Needs building is a background building sited to feature a mature oak tree on the property.
Quail Park employs a village design concept. Residents of the community can enjoy a variety of architectural styles unified by site amenities. The variety of building forms and colors while creating layers of interest, reduce the perceived scale of the campus as a whole, thereby relating to the eclectic setting of the surrounding residential community. Subtle variations in the design of each building respond to the immediate context, recognizing the importance of place and functional requirements. For example, the ground floor units of the assisted living building facing the city street include private yards that have the appearance of private entries and provide a townhouse look to the street scene.
