A standard rehabilitation center for the elderly that offers, in addition to medical care and food accommodation, multiple ways of entertainment, recreation, sports and creative employment, so that users have the opportunity to develop new occupations, socialize, and feel like belong to the whole / a local community, and not be treated as an unnecessary burden to society.
The design of the building has two main objectives:
A) The treatment of the building program with the best possible functional solution, for the ease of movement and living of the elderly, and
B) the creation of a building which will be a pole of attraction and a lung of green, both to the city and to its inhabitants, but without burdening the urban fabric despite its size.
A very important point to consider is accessibility by people with any kind of mobility. For this reason, the building is developed as much as possible in the horizontal plane, reducing to the necessary the vertical communication, but placing in many places elevators and stairwells.
Greenery and planting were used as a second "building" material, giving the character of an oasis in the city center. The green helps to improve the microclimate of the building, as well as creates a very user-friendly space, comfortable and cool.
