Olathe, KS: Rosemann & Associates, P.C. is pleased to serve as both architect and structural engineer for Olathe Senior Villas, a new affordable senior housing community. Scheduled for completion in December 2025, the development brings 48 apartment homes to income-qualified seniors, providing a safe, welcoming, and sustainable place to call home.

Designed with a Modern Farmhouse Touch
The two-story, low-rise style building embraces a modern farmhouse aesthetic, using high-end exterior materials such as brick, fiber cement siding, and stucco in contrasting neutral tones. Large casement windows invite natural light while enhancing curb appeal. A large covered front porch serves as a welcoming feature, fostering community connections and a true sense of home.
The ±48,270 GSF community includes one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging from 660–805 square feet.
Enjoyable Amenities
- Community Room (doubling as a storm shelter)
- Fitness Room
- Multipurpose Room
- Reading/Computer Room
- Walking Trail and Tree Preservation Area
- 62 surface parking spaces (including 4 ADA)
Safety at the Forefront
One of the project’s unique design challenges was integrating an ICC 500-compliant storm shelter into the community room. By designing this dual-purpose space, residents gain peace of mind knowing their shelter is in a familiar, accessible location that requires no basement entry. A special thanks to McClure for their storm shelter peer review.
Sustainable & Energy-Efficient Solutions
Rosemann worked closely with its energy rater to ensure the building envelope exceeded state and local requirements. The project incorporates sustainable strategies, including compliance with 2018 IECC standards, KHRC energy efficiency requirements, and voluntary building envelope upgrades. These measures will improve comfort and help keep utility bills low for residents.
Rosemann’s Project Manager, Michael Gaillard, commented “We believe affordable housing should be beautiful, functional, and built to last—Olathe Senior Villas is all that and more.”
