This newly constructed 37,000-square-foot short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility, located in the heart of Walnut Creek, California, offers 59 private patient rooms thoughtfully arranged around a serene central courtyard. Designed to support healing and wellness, the facility combines a spa-like ambiance with the precision and functionality of modern healthcare architecture.

Expansive interior corridors and gracious communal spaces create an atmosphere of calm and dignity, welcoming patients and visitors alike. The architectural expression is refined and contemporary, carefully aligned with the City of Walnut Creek’s design guidelines. The clean lines and uncluttered forms of the building reflect a commitment to both aesthetic clarity and clinical excellence.

A prominent porte cochere marks the main entry, offering an intuitive and sheltered arrival experience while establishing a distinguished street presence. The building’s exterior is composed in a palette of vibrant yet soothing colors, enhancing its inviting character.

Sustainable design strategies are integrated throughout the facility, underscoring a commitment to long-term environmental stewardship and operational efficiency. These include a high-performance variable refrigerant flow (VRF) HVAC system with heat recovery, R-30 roof and R-19 wall insulation, advanced glazing with a U-factor of 0.35 and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.30, a reflective cool roof assembly, and Energy Star water heaters with recirculating hot water systems. Landscape irrigation utilizes a low-volume drip system with weather-responsive controls to reduce water consumption.

Balancing innovation with warmth, this facility embodies the future of rehabilitative care—where thoughtful design elevates the patient experience and harmonizes with its urban context.
