Home for The Elderly

Academic Project
Arch 412, Form Sutdio
2021 Sep. - 2021 Dec.

This project is a part of four buildings that focus on the mobility of the people on the site. It serves older people with both abled and disabled bodies by offering two optional circulations that give access to multiple levels of the site. One is the public elevator that all the people can share in the four buildings, and another is a continuous ramp that connects the entire house.

This project also focuses on the relation between the new building and the old site-building. On the one hand, by inserting new volumes to the site-building, using different textures, it is able to show the difference between the old and new. On the other hand, by adding doors and ramps to the site-building and repeating the shape of the roof, it is able to show the continuity between the old and new.
