Netherlands Norwich Community
Netherlands Norwich Community
Farrow first completed the master plan for the new community, then delivered the buildings over two phases for the Netherlands Reformed Congregation of Norwich, near London, Ontario, Canada.
The Netherlands project offers a variety of housing types for the elderly, ranging from independent living, assisted living, and complex care. The independent living homes are combined into several fourplex suites, which are linked to the assisted living building by an enclosed corridor.
The semicircular assisted living building wraps a central garden, with views to the community’s church. Common and living areas surround the central garden, while private areas are housed in wings that radiate outward and surround semi-pivate gardens and smaller activity areas.
