The Oaks at Algonquin
T
HE OAKS AT Algonquin opened in January
2022 in Algonquin, Ill., with 90
independent living units, 52 assisted
living units, and 24 memory care units.
Owner Spectrum Retirement Communities
engaged architecture firm Vessel Architecture
& Design (Creve Coeur, Mo.) to focus
on replicating suburban living experiences.
The firm's key insight was that residents
would enjoy contemporary architecture that
looks and feels elevated.
The 179,720-square-foot community's
clean, modern design is expressed by larger
windows with less ornamentation; thin, elegant
trim profiles; and a simplified color and
material palette. For this minimalist design
to still feel residential, special attention was
paid to the proportions and materiality of
every detail.
Additionally, the design team created special
nooks and elevated overlooks where residents
can socialize and observe simultaneously,
as well as transition experiences from
indoor to outdoor to make the outdoors feel
more accessible and integrated with everyday
life. Instead of a traditional dining room, an
entire " night-out " restaurant experience was
created by breaking down larger venues into
more intimate and varied places to eat breakfast,
lunch, and dinner. This allows residents
to craft their eating experience and accompanying
social interactions differently each day.
The use of natural light throughout the
building coupled with modern light fixtures,
large-format flooring, and exposed
ductwork in select areas further evokes a
contemporary lifestyle.

Modern horizontal railings paired
with a two-story fireplace
feature wall create a unified and
elegant foyer.
