Press Release – July 10, 2009

St. Louis, Mo. – Rosemann & Associates, P.C. recently began construction on an independent senior living development in Wentzville, Mo. called Villas at Peruque Hills. The $3.8 million project is part of a larger development including single family homes called Peruque Hills Estates.

Developed by GHL Development, an affiliate of Gundaker Commercial Group who serves as the General Contractor, the Villas will be mixed affordable and market rate senior housing with funding provided by the Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) and Bank of America. Construction is scheduled for a winter 2009 completion.

With 23 townhomes and 11 garden units, the Villas will provide needed affordable senior housing in St. Charles County which is currently named a disaster county by MHDC due to severe flooding in 2008.

“The Wentzville area is vastly expanding and there is a great demand for quality affordable housing in the region,” says Andrew Koenig, AIA. “Our team is confident this project will help fulfill the need but there is still more work to be done.”

Rosemann’s design concept coincides with the Universal Design methodology. According to the Universal Design Alliance’s website, UD is a “user-friendly approach to design in the living environment where people of any culture, age, size, weight, race, gender and ability can experience an environment that promotes their health, safety and welfare today and in the future.”

For the Villas, unit entries, bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and first floor bedrooms are fully accessible by wheelchair. All units include an oversized, attached garage allowing for someone with a physical disability to more easily access a vehicle. According to Koenig, the garages are a unique amenity not often found in affordable housing.

“Being an independent senior development, ease-of-use was extremely important,” says Koenig. ”With minor changes such as changing out some cabinetry and countertops and adding some grab bars we can easily convert units to be fully accessible. The townhouse unit staircases were also designed wider to accommodate a lift if necessary.”

About Rosemann & Associates, P.C.: Rosemann is a multi-disciplinary Architecture, Interior Design, Engineering and Planning firm committed to creating community design solutions. Since 1987, Rosemann has focused on designing the backdrop for life by actively studying how people live in the built environment.

UltraJoist, the super dry construction timber produced by Glenalmond Timber has had its superior spanning performance acknowledged by TRADA. The span tables produced for Glenalmond Timber by the industry research body clearly demonstrate that, for an equivalent cross sectional profile, UltraJoist will out-span an equivalent ibeam.

The tables, available from the website www.ultrajoist.com, were produced by TRADA to provide independently calculated figures for the innovative solid timber system. In some cases, for example, a 45 x 220 UltraJoist beam will outspan a 60 x 220 ibeam.

The span tables have vindicated all we have been saying about the performance of Ultrajoist and they enable specifiers to select the most appropriate size of timber. We have also had the timber sizer application developed which can be downloaded from the Ultrajoist website, it will perform all of the required calculations.” explained Fraser Steele, MD of Glenalmond Timber.

The more we can use real, solid, FSC Certified timber in all aspects of construction, the better for the environment. Solid timber is well understood, we have been using it for thousands of years and we know how it performs over a variety of conditions and over time. The only difference is that Ultrajoist remains dimensionally stable.” he added.

A full set of span tables plus the timber sizer can be accessed via the Ultrajoist website – www.ultrajoist.com.
