Residenza Italia

Residenza Italia is a seniors affordable housing project for Seniors at 1109 Hamilton Road in London, Ontario. It has 52 units and was completed in November of 2011. Residenza Italia was the first collaboration between Residenza Affordable Housing (formerly Italian Seniors Project) and Nicholson Sheffield Architects Inc. The project’s three-storey entry block gives way to a six-storey building, stepping down the slope of the site from the road.

The building includes generous amenity areas, a common room, kitchen, and a rooftop patio, all designed to help foster a sense of community for the residents of the building. The project was awarded a City of London Urban Design Award and Don Smith Commercial Building Award- Multi Unit Buildings from the London St. Thomas Association of Realtors in 2013.
