The Pryde, New England’s first LGBTQ+ affirming affordable senior housing development, received Core77’s Pro Runner-Up award in the built environments category for their 2025 design Awards!
The landscape reimagines a historic school into a healing garden that combats social isolation through thoughtful, inclusive design. The garden’s form emerges from a pioneering Neurodiversity Toolkit, with a tapestry of spaces supporting the full spectrum of human experience: contemplative nooks for solitude flank central gathering spaces, while memorial markers punctuate a walking track encouraging both activity and reflection.
In addition, we want to extend our congratulations to Dimella Shaffer as the recipient for the AIA’s Designing for Aging National Awards 2025! Huge congrats to all the teams involved for making these achievements possible!
