Longleaf at Liberty Park
Vestavia Hills, Alabama


 

Summary
To achieve the look and feel of a gracious country inn­­­ for this assisted living and memory-care complex, NBA teams focused on natural materials, earth tones and lush landscaping, intentionally avoiding repetitive, institutional elements. Instead, Longleaf at Liberty Park takes its aesthetic cues from the Victorian architecture of nearby Mountain Brook community. Inside and out, Longleaf exudes a welcoming warmth and easy comfort with appeal to prospective residents and their adult children. Nestled in an affluent neighborhood outside Birmingham, Alabama, the senior living housing takes advantage of its proximity to the Cahaba River to feature amenity areas and courtyards with riverbank views. Unique amenities, including a sports lounge, gourmet dining venues, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an art studio, theater and library, provide residents with an enriching environment.
