The Orchards accommodates a 145‐unit, 165,000 sf senior housing structure whose primary focus is to provide independent living, assisted living, and memory care [20 units] to senior citizens together with a full continuum of care allowing the residents to comfortably age in place, while supported by the full range of additional services provided by Ebenezer, the facility operator.   

 

The project provides a wide range of building amenities inside and out, placing it at the cutting edge of senior living environments. It features spacious and accessible apartment units along with a salon and spa, bistro, fitness center, theater, and more.

Residents can rest assured that they are living in a facility catered to them, one that was thoughtfully designed with their desires and needs put first.

During Jocelyne’s formative years she spent a lot of time with her grandmother painting, drawing, and making all sorts of crafts. As a child she watchedher dad, helpingwhere she could, renovatetheir home from the ground up. Theylivedin a constant cycle of demolishing and rebuilding,to make something new andbeautiful. As a teenager she began taking advanced art classes and making pottery whenever she had free time between classes and after school. Looking at Jocelyne’s childhood, architecture seemed like an obvious choice, but it was not so clear when Jocelyne entered college. She began her post-secondary education studying accounting due to her interests in business throughout high school.However,she quickly realized that creativity was a necessity for her future career. Jocelyne changed her major to architecture and transferred to the University of Minnesota. It was there thatshe grew her knowledge of architecture as well as, interior design, history, and art. In 2018 she graduated with her Bachelor of Design in Architecture and began working at a firm in Saint Paul, gaining experience in both government and educational design. She soon returned to the University of Minnesota to complete her Master of Architecture degree with the hopes of pursuing licensure. Now that Jocelyne has completed her master’s degree, her professional goals aim to experience as many opportunities as possible both for the sake of learning as well as the need to feed her inner child’s love of art and exploration. Jocelynehopes to apply a wide range of knowledge and skills to better inform an all-encompassing design practice.
