Senior Living Rehabilitation

Client: D’Amore Architects

Location: 1188 King Street,  Greenwich, CT 06831 

Surface Area : 27,000 SF

 

This project focuses on the comprehensive rehabilitation of a senior living establishment in Greenwich, CT, transforming it into 17 modern apartment units. GDI Engineering has been entrusted with the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design for these renovations. The scope of work encompasses the development of a new air conditioning and ventilation system tailored for the 27,000 square foot building, along with a robust electrical power system that includes options for individual metering for each apartment. Additionally, new lighting plans will feature energy-efficient fixtures and controls, enhancing both functionality and sustainability. 


In terms of plumbing, the project will introduce a fully integrated system that includes new fixtures, water
supply, and sewer connections, with provisions for individual water metering. The design will also specify a  new water heating system, offering flexibility between central and individual setups based on client  preferences.

Furthermore, the optimal heating system—either gas-fed or electric—will be determined according to the existing utility services available. All MEP designs will be executed with careful  consideration of the existing building’s structure to minimize invasive alterations, ensuring a seamless  integration into the current environment.
