The Courtyards at Lowman - The Heritage at Lowman Chapin, S.C.
Submitted by: RLPS Architects Lancaster, Pa.
The Courtyards at Lowman are a collection of
pocket neighborhoods that provide a new affordable
monthly rental option for seniors at a
middle income level. Two pocket neighborhoods,
each with ten cottage-style apartment homes
clustered around a courtyard, comprise the first
phase. The housing clusters increase density on
the eight-acre site while maintaining the region's
desired single-story cottage style. Future phases
are being constructed incrementally.
The individual apartments' compact footprints
range from 740 to 1,018 square feet, but the open
one and two-bedroom floor plans are designed
for maximum flow and plentiful natural light. In
the homes with a single bathroom, dual entries
avoid guests accessing the bathroom via a private
bedroom while still allowing residents the luxury
of an ensuite bath.
Each home has both an ample front porch that
opens onto the courtyard and a more private rear
porch which half of the current residents have
screened in. The rear of each apartment also has a
storage closet and golf cart parking/charging space.
The target market for The Courtyards at Lowman
is active adults who wish to live independently in
a supportive setting that allows them to maintain
social connections. While one of the primary design
goals was to support aging in place, those
accommodations could not be at the expense of
the residential aesthetic.
Prospective residents were clear that they did
not want to live in a home where accessibility
features were apparent. The single-story model
provides easy accessibility for mobility devices.
Internally, wider doorways, curb-less showers
and additional wall blocking will allow for adding
grab bars if needed in the future.
Each pocket neighborhood includes a
520-square-foot clubroom where residents can
gather together, entertain guests or enjoy wellness,
