Everett, WA | mixed-use residential treatment center & early learning facility | 18 family units | 27,500 sf

Evergreen Manor Family Center is a licensed residential treatment facility designed to allow moms to remain with their children while in recovery. Conceived as a therapeutic, home-like setting, the project expands an existing treatment campus across the street. The new building provides 18 studio-style family units and a five classroom early learning center for up to 50 children. The family units have separate sleeping spaces for moms and kids, private bathrooms and kitchenettes. Common spaces include a dining room for 80, vaulted living room, rocking and reading room, and a children’s recreation room. The rooms and spaces are organized to support the practice of daily routines.

As part of the site development, a vacated street was transformed into a landscaped commons where moms and their kids can stroll and play safely. The project’s residential forms and materials, and extensive landscape reflect the client’s desire for a welcoming, contextual building that fit with the existing campus and neighborhood. Partially funded by state and local grants, the project required a complex mix of land use approvals, including a rezone, street vacation, and long-term lease coordination, to support this first-of-its-kind facility in Washington State.
