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 in recovery to remain with their children while getting treatment. 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. Shared common spaces include a dining room for 80, vaulted living room, rocking–and-reading room, and a children’s “big energy” recreation room. The family units have separate sleeping spaces for moms and kids, private bathrooms and kitchenettes. The rooms and spaces are organized to support the practice of daily routines.

As part of the project, the expanded campus gained extensive landscaping and recreation areas, including a vacated street transformed into a landscaped commons where moms and their kids can play and stroll safely. The project’s site development, residential forms, and materials reflect the client’s desire for a welcoming, contextual building that enhanced 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.
