THE OSBORN

Renovation of the existing 200,000 square foot Osborn complex was part of the implementation of an overall master plan including new apartment buildings, a new nursing facility, and new cottage units.

The objective of the project was the creation of 105 one and two-bedroom senior living apartments and assisted-living studio apartments converted from the single-room nursing units and other uses that relocated to the newly constructed areas. The project scope included upgrading other public and support spaces, such as the dining rooms and auditorium, and general building life safety improvements.

To retain the historic features of the neo-Georgian Rye landmark, special design attention was given to preserving the period architectural details and providing compatible new designs, finishes, and furniture.

The work was carefully phased to allow for asbestos abatement, continuous use of the complex, orderly transitions, and access to common facilities and also to achieve budget control for this last phase of the overall plan.
