Benfield Farms
Dellbrook|JKS completed the Benfield Farms project, which is located on forty-five acres of conservation land in Carlisle, MA. The 28,000 SF project is a 26 unit senior living community for residents 62 years and older consisting of one and two bedroom apartment homes. Careful consideration was given to the landscape, project design, unit interiors and common space, incorporating green building, energy efficiency, sustainability and universal design. The project achieved LEED Gold Certification. These achievements are a testament to Benfield Farms’ ongoing commitment to being environmentally responsible while simultaneously offering a wonderful place for the senior community to call home.
A state of the art wastewater treatment system protects the land and vegetation from excess nitrogen and the community’s water is supplied by its own well. For added comfort, a high-tech air ventilation system ensures the right airflow in each apartment.
