Architecture
Porter Hills' GREEN HOUSE homes are designed like a private home, housing 10 elders, each with his/her own bedroom and full bathroom. The physical space is not meant to be "homelike", but to be a home. Each home is a self-contained residence and includes:

• Hearth areas combining the living room, dining room and open kitchen
• Dining room with a table that seats all elders, staff, and two guests
• Private bedrooms, each with a bathroom and locked medicine cabinet
• Electronic ceiling lifts out of sight until needed
• Fenced outdoor space with two-door access for wandering
• Visual sight lines from the kitchen to the hearth area, bedrooms, and outdoor space
• Increased energy and resource efficiency with limited presence of toxins inside.
