Next Generation's Care Homes

We are building an elderly home for a generation that grew up with grand optimism about the future, a generation that today regards its old age their second set of teen years and will probably continue to feel youthful despite the struggles that come with age. Our intention was to create an architecture that helps to form an environment reflecting the values of a dignified old age and enable people to continue feeling modern and relevant and enjoy an active stimulating lifestyle.

The elderly of the future are today our role models and will continue to be. The elderly home must therefore become a place where more of the elderly wish to stay and play a natural roll in the city life. To create this environment we focus on three main concepts and research questions: integration, attractiveness, and the mentality of the environment which are framed by a context unique to the time we live in.

The culture and natural setting of Norra Djurgårdsstaden gives all residents access to nature. Each living quarter is paired with its own courtyard, a place that’s available year-round whenever desired. In the summer months all residents enjoy pleasant meals outside.
