Description:
The site, which previously housed greenhouses, has now been redeveloped with the construction of seven senior residences, arranged around a central communal garden.
The residential facilities for the elderly were developed through a collective private commissioning scheme.
Each residence within this collective is designed with a unique architectural style. The living room is situated on the first floor in some residences, while in others it is located on the ground floor.
Each residence is distinguished by its unique façade material. By employing a repetitive main form and a common family of window frames, cohesion has been achieved. The residences face a common garden, which serves as the entrance to the residences and provides opportunities for small diversions. The garden features various spaces for relaxation and recreation, including areas designated for children to play. The residents have furnished the garden themselves and will maintain it independently.
