Housing for elderly people

Project idea

Given that when we mention nursing homes people often imagine places like hospitals, care, or medication, as a concept of this project development I have selected medication as an integral part of elderly people but certainly not very desirable.
The development of the concept starts with medicines, respectively with the weekly pill organizer, which is composed of several boxes joined to each other, and that is used to create the housing/ living units.

The “classic house” form will be followed in the facades of the building, creating a feeling of comfort, coziness, and friendly familiar warmth, simultaneously offering a stable, coherent, and functional living environment.

Project description

Creating a friendly familiar warmth and a feeling of comfort, coziness is the main goal of this project. The residents have different recreational areas that they can use, the swimming pool in the basement, reading a book or listening to music on the 1st floor, or just playing with others are just a few to name. The building contains different typologies of rooms where the residents have the option to choose between different spacious areas and bedrooms with one, two beds, or apartments.
