Ellore Santa Clara, a new senior living development in the heart of Silicon Valley, offers a hospitality-driven take on aging in place.
Designed by interior design studio MAWD, the project pairs a sophisticated material palette with thoughtful amenities and programming that reflect the region’s creative energy.
“Ellore is more than a space to live, it’s a reflection of the people who made Silicon Valley what it is today,” says Elliot March, cofounder of MAWD. “Our studio set out to craft an environment that is both sophisticated and comfortable, one that reflects the spirit of innovation while honoring the region’s natural beauty and the importance of community.”

Positioned as a modern alternative to traditional senior living, the design mirrors the experience of a high-end hotel. Interiors balance elegance and comfort, integrating rich woods, sculptural stones, and refined finishes across public and private areas. A predominantly neutral palette is energized with strategic pops of color, while a black marble reception desk and oversized fireplace create a dramatic yet welcoming impression in the lobby.
Indoor-outdoor connectivity anchors the experience. Sliding glass doors connect wellness areas, such as the yoga and Pilates studio, with the pool deck to promote year-round engagement with nature.
Multiple social spaces support interaction and community. A piano lounge and bar, cinema, and activity studio are designed to host a wide range of resident programming, while private dining rooms and cozy lounges offer additional options for family visits and informal gatherings.
